The Werewolf Next Door

17

(Natalia's POV)

Sense me got Angela here, I've been watching from a far, I didn't want to over whelm her with the idea we might be competing for a man, she was beautiful, I could see the guys around her, they wanted to protect her, she wasn't submissive, in any way I could feel her power, which either knowingly or no, she hid why looked so lost, but at the same time, she just wasn't comfortable with being here. I saw she became friends with Jas, and with Jordan one of Dean's old soldiers, but if she was the one to be Tyler's mate, then she could be hanging out with Jordan so much, not that Tyler would care, or at least right now he pretends not to anyway.

Angela was caring, she helped in anyway she could be it man or woman, she was slowly winning everyone's heart. Tyler wanted to count her off as stupid, but my cousin was far from that. My wolf wanted to hate her, but I couldn't bring myself to hate her, even if she was to take my man.

Then one day as I walked around I came to hear Jasmine and Angie talking, Angela as who I was, Jasmine, told her I was Tyler's girlfriend, bless her, she was still on my side, and told her some of the things I had helped Tyler with.

"Wow, they sound perfect together, match made in heaven right?"

"Right."

"How can any other woman compete with a woman like that?"

"No, harm in trying right."

"Why would anyone want to he's such a freakin grouch."

I had to smile at that, but as they left back to the village, I realized I had set a really high bar for any other woman, not just the ones that would date Tyler, but for the others in the village, they needed a female figure...right?

I sighed and headed back to the village, where the guys were training and caught Jasmine and Angela cooking. Watching my cousin I had to admit neither of us picked our lives and I couldn't imagine one of my sisters out in the world abandoned the way Angela was, even if they all walked away from me too. I walked in and Jasmine greeted me Angela seemed to recoil.

"Um.. I'll be in my room, give you two time to talk..."

"Actually Angela I wanted to talk to you if that was okay."

"Um...sure."

"Let's go for a walk cool?"

"Yeah, that's fine."

We walked out of the house, and headed out toward the dam, it would be flash flood season soon, but right now it was a small stream. We walked in silence until we reached the dam.

"Did I do something wrong, if I did I didn't mean too."

"NO, not at all, but I wanted to talk to you about one of the reasons, we came to find you."

"One of the reasons?"

"Yeah, Um...I have it understood, that your grandma was my grandma's little sister, so we're family ."

She looked at me for a minute, then down at the ground.

"I didn't want to say much, I mean you've only been here for a week, but I couldn't keep it to myself anymore, we're cousins."

"I didn't know I had any other family."

"I'm guessing it was too painful for everyone just wanted to forget."

"That and if my mom, knew anything, she took it with her to the grave, all I knew was that she had had a little brother who died when he was six, nobody knew why, then  my parents died in a car rash."

"I'm sorry you had to go through that alone."

She shrugged and looked around.

"You wanted me to come here?"

"Yeah, I wanted to meet you, like I said we're family, and I can help in anyway that I can, cool."

I put out a fist for her to bump, she didn't seem much of a huger.She did bump my fist with hers and we headed back to the house.

Over the next few days I taught her everything I knew about the club, and the small businesses, she caught on nicely, I could tell math wasn't her things but everything else she was pretty good at, she had a really creative eye, like Jasmine they came up with some ideas which Jasmine planned on giving to Tyler, to see if he would give us the chance to do, Angela was tougher then she looked , she knew how to take a hit, even if it was words, Tyler walked in one of the times I was showing her the paper work and things to order and to keep organized, Tyler blow up in our faces and she stood up to him, he and I were stumped, but he left us alone.

Soon both Angela and I were running the businesses and Jasmine had the club all to herself,  It was getting harder and harder not to like my cousin, she really was a great person but I think she wasn't given the chance too much, she was smart, strong, and very independent. She and Jordan seemed to flirt and I could see Tyler get annoyed but he was also sending me flowers and still getting me alone, but it didn't feel the same anymore the trust I had blindly given him before was no longer there, I didn't want him the same way as before, even after everything we've been through I just couldn't give him the second chance.

Then one day I walked in and again he pushed me against the wall in the middle of the entrance and kissed me, I wanted to say yes, I'll take you back, but that was the lust talking and I pushed him away.

"When will you forgive me and let us move on ?"

"I've moved on just fine, it's you who won't move on, and accept..."

"Angela is not my mate, she'll never be and I need you to accept THAT!"

Someone cleared her throat and when we looked, it was Jasmine and Angela.

"I'm guessing this is reason two?"

"Angie."

She turned and walked away back outside, I pushed Tyler off me and ran after her but she was gone from sight, I hadn't wanted her to know like this, and not in the way Tyler had said it either. The rest of the night we searched for her, and the one that found her was Joshua, she had been in my old back yard, she had phased, her wolf was dark gray a shade lighter then Tyler's jet black wolf, and the size of a husky, she didn't fight, or make a noise, she was just sad, I could feel her sadness. Once at the house Tyler,  looked at us and tried to stop me I yanked my arm out of his hand. Following Joshua upstairs and helping make Angie comfortable after a while she crawled under her bed and stayed there, we left her alone for the night hoping she wouldn't run away. She did move from under the bed, and wasn't eating either, the psychic explained that when a mate is rejected the real mate, it hurts down to your soul, if Angela decided she could die of that pain alone, it made me realize yeah it had hurt to break up with Tyler but still not soul deep, I still wanted to live. I went up stairs to check on Angela, she was still under the bed.

Angie, you need to eat, or you'll get sick."

She whined and growled a little, clearly a warning to leave her alone.

"Listen I didn't say anything, because...because....(sigh) I still care about him, even if he's nothing of mine, I wanted to also make sure he wasn't going to try and turn you into me, he needed to give you a real chance, but he just seems dead set on me."

It was very quiet, and I looked she was sleeping, so carefully I got up and headed out, hoping my words helped.

(Angela's POV)

I've been here for about a month and I was kind of glad to find Natalia, she was family, she's helped me in ways nobody has ever taken the chance to take, and I was starting to like it here, but when i walked in on them kissing but arguing about how he was MY mate, but didn't want me and wanting her, it felt like I was betrayed. She had lied to me, and the rejection was hitting deep in my heart and soul.

I just wanted to be alone, the food didn't taste like anything anymore, I felt exhausted all the time, and honestly, I think they'd be better off with me gone, not from the world but just physically away from here, that way they could be happy. Shortly after Nat left, someone else came in and this one I knew there was no ignoring.

"Angela come out and eat."

"Go to hell." I thought to myself, ignoring the voice, or at least I tried. then all too soon, I felt him pull me out by the scruff of my neck, I fought back but in the end he had me in his lap, but it wasn't Tyler...or it was, but the eyes looking back at me were his wolf's, my heart raced.

"Mate." he said softly and he pulled me closer to his chest he just held me, he breathed in deeply, as gentle hands ran through my fur, I wanted to relax but I couldn't not around him.

I tried to pull away, but he held me tightly to him, his warm brought me comfort, but I pulled away, I could tell he was hurt I did so, but I had too I needed to keep my distance.

"You need to eat, save your strength, please."

I growled at him, which made him smile, Tyler was a good looking guy, but he was too hung up on what could've been with Natalia, but I wasn't going to get in the middle of that. I went back under the bed, he chuckled and that made me shiver, and then just stayed where I was, for the rest of the day, I didn't even hear what time he felt my room.

The next morning I woke up and had to run to the bathroom, and puked. I phased back to human, and that same ache I got every month, started. Quickly I got in the shower, and turned on the cold water, it's what helped in the past, more or less. That and.... I needed release but at the same time, now that I knew he was real it made it all more embarrassing , my skin was so sensitive to touch, ever touch felt like a caress that got my body reacting more, I couldn't go out like this, and I wasn't planning on wearing clothes right now I over heat.

Slowly I finished drying my body down and headed to the room door and made sure it was locked. then place a towel between the door and the floor, the got back to the bed, and gently touching myself to release some tension from between my legs.

(Tyler's POV)

I asked Jasmine and Natalia had come down yet, they said no, Natalia was busy with one thing and Jasmine was helping Nora with the breakfast dishes. Yes, yesterday i allowed my wolf to speak to Angela, but it didn't make much of a difference, at this rate, we'll have a dead body in the room. Everyone said I was immature she was acting worse, then I was, but that all stops today.

Quickly I went back up stairs and headed to Angela's room, but something was strange, a smell was coming from her room, to me it smelled so amazing, my body started to feel warm and aroused. I forced myself to push forward and as much as I wanted to remember what I was up here for, I kept forgetting, then I heard gasps and moans of pleasure, and my mouth watered, sweet goddess she sounded nice, she was in heat, and if a she wolf was unmated the only thing some could do was finger f**k themselves, I had never walked in on anyone, and this was the first time I'm hearing someone in the process, my wolf was chomping at the bit, to go in there and really make her scream but, I  walked away and headed back to my room and took a cold shower myself.

The rest of the day I couldn't get her voice out of my head, the good thing was she knew enough not to come out where there was a bunch of males, and if she did I wouldn't be able to control myself from getting her alone or from fighting my whole pack to keep guys away from her. What the hell was wrong with me, I mean this was an over the top reaction to what was going on, I wanted to go back to the room and really make her scream with real pleasure, and my wolf was all for it. Then Natalia woulds show up and even when I think back to when we first made love, but it wasn't the same it was still a memory I will always cherish but it wasn't the same, and apart of me really believed maybe I did jump the gun a little too soon, and now I hurt her deeply.

I ran with the guys to run off the arousal I was feeling but right as I walked toward the house, I started getting hard again, what was that woman doing to me. I was starting to catch myself worrying about Angela and my mind would wonder off to the way she smiled, or her laugh, or how she was a fighter under all that shy armor, I wanted her to be in my arms, the feel of her skin, the smell of her hair haunted me in ways Natalia didn't, and just watching Angela actually understanding everything I thought she was too stupid to understand, made me feel all the more stupid. I had to make a choice and it would have to be soon, I couldn't let this continue like this.
