Chapter 26: Control

My wolf was beyond angry with the unfulfilled feeling inside of us. It felt like she took ahold of me and pushed me into that mental cage I usually kept her in. She took over my body completely. In a beastly purr, I did not think I was even capable of, I said, "We are destined, my mate.". Every word came out slow and sultry. I could see James' composure falter and then his eyes were glowing bright gold again. I felt like a stranger looking in on a scene from a movie.

James took a step forward and leaned in close. He nuzzled my neck like a wolf and then responded, "Yes, mates". The wolf was in control and his voice was dominant and powerful. His canines were long and sharp and my wolf made us present our throat to him. My wolf submitted completely ready to die or bond for life.

I rattled at the cage bars but secretly I yearned for the pain. I wanted James to be with me forever, but not this way. We needed more time. When James was about to pierce my skin his eyes flashed again to that intense husky blue. He shook his head furiously. "I need to go.", he said in a panic and exited the room.

My wolf growled in uncontrolled anger and I took the chance to break free and gain the control I needed to take my body back. I had never experienced her taking over so completely except in some fights where I thought the end was near. Her words echoed in my mind... destined mates. James' Wolf answered the call and it looked like he had lost his human control as well. What was happening to us?

I slammed my fist down on the table top in anger. I needed to get myself together fast. I plopped down in to the chair and I took a deep slow breath. As I exhaled, I felt the calm starting to travel through me. I gathered my emotions and my thoughts and decided to go to my room. I was going to take a nice cold shower for the second time at this house and then explore the house on my own. I needed to give James time to collect his thoughts and emotions before we lost our human selves again.
