Erick’s P.O.V
We searched all around the hotel and couldn’t find any trace of the female rogue, so I asked a couple of warriors to stay there and keep watch, while the rest of us came home. When we finally got home we were all tired and May was still covered in blood splatter, so she was first in the bathroom to take a shower. After she came out she put on her night clothes and started yawning, so I knew that she was exhausted, but instead of going to bed like I thought she would she sat in the chair and grabbed the rogues book that she had found.
“Love, you’re tired, why don’t you go to bed and get some sleep?” I asked, but she shook her head.
“I just want to look at this book a little more, so I can get an idea on what they truly are and how better to do that than to read it straight from their thoughts.” She replied, not looking at me. I took a shower and got dressed, but when I came back out she was still reading that book and she didn’t even notice that I was in the same house as her, let alone the same room. I went to the kitchen and got us both a cup of tea, hoping it would relax us a little, but just as I set the cups down on the bedside tables she threw the book across the room and screamed. I turned and jumped into a fighting stance, thinking that we were under attack, but when I looked at May she had tears in her eyes. I bent down and picked the book up, confused as to why she suddenly did that.
“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” I asked, but she shook her head and wiped her tears away.
“Look at the very last page.” May replied, so I did. I flipped the book over and opened it to the last page, where I saw a man and a woman in a newspaper clipping, with a couple of locks of hair beside it.
“Who are these people, May?” I asked, looking up at her. She looked down at her hands and then back up to me again, with tears streaming down her face.
“Those were my parents. THEY f*****g KILLED MY PARENTS!! THE NEWSPAPER CLIPPING SAID THEY DIED IN A CAR CRASH, WHICH IS TRUE, BUT WE NEVER REALLY KNEW WHAT HAPPENED OR WHAT CAUSED IT!! NOT UNTIL NOW AND NOW I KNOW I MUST STOP THIS b***h!! I WILL GET HER AND I WILL STAB HER UNTIL SHE HAS HOLES IN EVERY INCH OF HER BODY!!!!” May shouted and I immediately tossed the book to the side, going to sit beside her. I pulled her onto my lap and held her close as she cried.
“May, we will get her or them, whoever is left. Don’t worry, but don’t let your anger take over the person you are. Anger will eat you up inside until there is nothing left. I promise you we will get her.” I said and I could feel that she was trying to calm down.
May’s P.O.V
I could feel Erick’s touch helping me to calm down and it was working, but when he said not to worry and about anger I felt like he was lecturing me and I wasn’t about to let that happen.
“Listen, I already know all of what you have just said and I’m not going to let it eat me alive, I know how to control my anger, but once I get hold of her then I will unleash my anger out on her. Is that clear?” I said, but Erick gave me a funny look. What the hell was his problem? Why was he behaving like this?
“Right, that’s enough. I have had enough of the way you have been talking to me. I know that you have just had a hard blow finding out what really happened to them, but for the past few days you have been talking to me like I’m nothing but s**t on the bottom of your shoe. I think that is enough, I have been dealing with this s**t all my life and I know a lot more than you do. I’m not trying to be your dad, but I am your mate and we treat our mates with respect and kindness, even when we are pissed off. We don’t treat each other like s**t like humans do and I’m not human, May. I think I’m going to sleep on the couch tonight, you can have the bed to yourself. Goodnight.” Erick said, shocking me. He got up and walked out of the bedroom, shutting the door behind him.
Erick’s P.O.V
I shook my head as I stood on the other side of the bedroom door, thinking about everything. Yes, she is a human, but I’m not and I refuse to be treated like a f*****g punching bag. I love her, but she’s not going to treat me like this and if she keeps this s**t up then I’m just going to reject her and be single. Never in my family has anyone treated me like this. I don’t like it and I’m not going to put up with this s**t. Maybe I’ll start treating her the same way and see how she likes it. That’s it, I’ll feed her some of what she has been doing to me, but I’ll let my mom and dad know what’s been going on and what I plan to do about it because if I don’t they will only take her side instead of staying neutral. I’m about fed up with this, I thought to myself, grabbing a blanket out of the hallway closet and going into the living room. I laid down on the couch and pulled the blanket over me, hoping that May would come to her senses and start treating me right, treating me like her mate.
May’s P.O.V
I can’t believe he walked out of the room just to go sleep on the couch. I mean sure I had been hard on him and had taken a lot of things out on him, hell I had yelled at him and even threatened him, but it’s only because that’s the only way I knew how to be. I had to stick up for myself and defend myself against my own family for so long that I don't know any other way. Can’t he see that? If he’s willing to just walk out on me when we go through a rough patch then let him. I’ll show him, I thought as I got up from the couch and got into bed. I laid down with tears in my eyes, hating the way I felt. I loved him, I knew I did, but I don’t like saying those words. I knew that he wanted to change me into a werecat, but I wasn’t about to turn into one of them. I wanted to stay human, I loved being a human. Maybe this was a mistake, moving my house here and being with him, but it's too late now. It's here now and so am I, I thought to myself, sighing. I decided to put my focus on something else, something I could control and that was revenge. Revenge for my parents. I didn’t know who had killed them, the guy or the girl and the guy can’t talk now because he’s dead and burned to ashes, so the girl is next, but how will I find her? I’ll just go back to the hotel room and take another look around. I still have the key, so I’ll just go back and stay there until she shows up again. I want answers and I’m going to get them, but first I know I need to make up with Erick. It hasn’t even been thirty minutes yet and I already miss him lying beside me, but I’ll do that tomorrow. Tonight I am going to sleep, let him stay mad tonight, he will be just fine. I pulled my blanket off me and lay there with the fan on. It's a little hot in here tonight, I thought as I closed my eyes and went straight to sleep. Being pissed off takes a lot out of you.
The next morning I woke up to the sun shining on my face, but when I turned over I saw that Erick wasn’t next to me and then I remembered the fight we had last night. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, doing my business, washing my hands and face, then getting dressed for the day. I wanted to talk to him and tell him about my idea and see what he thought about it, but when I went into the living room he wasn’t there. I went into the kitchen, but he wasn’t in there either. I didn;t know what was going on, but I was a little worried, so I put my shoes on and walked outside. I looked around, but I didn’t see him anywhere, so I walked up to the pack house and went to our old room. Just as I got near the doorway I heard voices and I got pissed off all over again after hearing them talking.
Caroline’s P.O.V
“Caroline, I told you that I have a mate, so why are you in my room?” Erick asked, frowning at me.
“If you have a mate then why are you here and not with her? You know she can’t pleasure you like I can, I can be a better Luna. She’s weak, Erick, she’s human, so how can she protect herself?” I asked, but he crossed his arms over his chest as his frown deepened.
“She can protect herself just fine, she’s a strong woman, Caroline and I love her. I might be pissed with her right now, but I’m not going to be unfaithful to her. Now get the hell out of my room.” Erick replied and then I smirked as I smelled May’s scent. I knew that she was listening outside the door, so I decided to play her up.
“Oh come on, Erick. You know you liked how we slept together last night.” I said and Erick looked stunned as he shook his head.
“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR f*****g MIND?! WE DIDN’T DO s**t LAST NIGHT, I JUST WALKED INTO MY ROOM A FEW MINUTES AGO, YOU DUMB b***h!!!” Erick shouted, annoyed and suddenly the door to his bedroom flew open, smacking against the wall. May stomped over to me and grabbed me by my hair, dragging me over to the window. She grabbed my throat and picked me up, throwing me through it. I landed hard on the ground with glass falling around me, cutting me. I was already healing, but there was no way in hell I was going to dare get up. I wasn’t going to fight May, especially as I knew that I had pissed off the wrong female this time and I wasn’t going to get any more injuries. I got up and ran to my home, slamming the door shut behind me after I walked in. I knew I needed to get a hold of that mutt girl, especially as she hadn’t done her job. I paid her to get rid of May and yet she still hasn’t done it. The next time I talk to her I’m going to pay her double to get rid of them both. They both have to go.
