19 Amelia's pov His mood change catches me off guard as I spin around to follow after him . He enters a red sports car and doesn't tell me to get in , but I do anyway because he offered me a ride . I had not secured my seat belt on when he sped off . I let out a shocked squeal like sound from my throat , looking at him in alarm as I finally put the seat belt on . " What the hell is your problem ?! " I yelled as he stepped on the accelerator . I gripped the seat belt , pressing my back against the seat as my heart pounded in my chest . Raiden doesn't answer me . Not a single word . This is what I had wanted right ? For him to keep shut and leave me alone . Yet , why do I feel disappointed ? I kind of miss the talkative Raiden , the one that gets me on my nerves . I do not enjoy the sudden quiet one who is clearly in a trapped corner in his mind . It doesn't feel like him . It feels like a stranger . The car sped through the streets , the tired screeching as he drifts while taking a corner . My heart accelerates and my palms grow sweaty . He remained silent , cold and distant and my stomach twisted painfully with unease . Something was off . I reached up to touch his arm . " Raiden , " I called out his name but he flinches away as if my touch disgusted him while his hand on the steering wheel tightened . It feels like my voice can't crack over to him . " Raiden , " I said softly this time , eyeing the side of his face . He's looking straight ahead , his jaw tight as he clenches it hard . I would not be surprised if his poor teeth throbbed with pain . Did something happen when he went to retrieve his keys ? It must have . " What the hell is going on ? " I snapped , fearing for my life with the speed we were going at . " Shut up , don't speak to me right now . " His words are blunt , cold , and harshly slicing through the air without remorse I flinched . It felt like he had brutally slapped me across my face . I frowned , unable to digest that this was the same guy who flirted with me not too long ago . " Fine , " I gritted , trying to ignore the pain in my chest . " Let me down . " I crossed my arms over my chest and looked ahead . Two can play this game . " What ? " He ground out , his eyes shooting a hole through my skull for a split second " Let me out of the damn car or so help me I'll jump out " I threatened When he shows no signs of slowing down or stopping . I decided to be more firm " I'll break the fucking glass if I have to Raiden , and you know I can and will " I can see the strain of his hands on the steering wheel , the way his veins pulsed as he tightened his hold . For a moment I thought he'd ignore my threat but he surprises me when he pulls up sharply to the side of the road The sudden stop made me jerk forward a bit and then my back hit the seat behind me hard " Get out " He said coldly I had not expected it . Not his tone or him actually stopping to let me get down However , I had too much pride to show him that I am fazed but this . So I opened the door and let the cool air hit me smack against my face as I got out Slamming the door hard , I watch him drive off without another word , blowing some fumes from his car into my face . I coughed , stomped my foot childishly and cursed him every word I could come up with I knew he was like every other guy out there . They're all the same . I bet this was his plan to humiliate me after I broke his precious girlfriend's nose +25 BONUS Letting out a frustrated scream and groan , I fished for my phone in my pocket to call Foster or Dad to pick me up . I wasn't that far from my home but I am not going home right now but to Dayna's to help Pickett . When my fingers slide against fabric and not a phone , I freeze and my heart stops . This cannot be happening right now . I must've forgotten it in his car . I laughed dryly , but tears pricked in my eyes . Frustration clawed at the corners on my body as I let out a breath . I had no phone and no money for a cab . Walking was the only option . The street stretched out before me , dark with a little glow from the street lights . Empty and void of any human life in sight . Alone . That's how I felt . The same ugly feeling when I walked in on my mother- I shook my head , biting into my lower lip to stop from crying . I cannot afford to cry right now . With a heavy sigh , I began to walk down the sidewalk while hugging myself . I can't believe he actually drove off . He fucking drive off . I shook my head and let out a dry giggle . Raiden was like every other guy out there , how could I have ever thought he was different ? As my mind took me captive while I walk , in the short distance I could hear a bit of rustling from the trees that surrounded me . I hugged myself tighter when I heard the heavy sound of what I thought was paws hitting the earth Was Dad wrong about there not having wolves around here ? Because what other huge animal can make such a terrifying sound in the woods ? I looked around skeptically , fear tugging low in my tummy . Instinctively I picked up my pace , keeping my eyes laser - focused up ahead . However , I couldn't ignore the sound that was coming from the woods and getting louder . Unable to resist , my eyes flick to my right and I froze . Completely paralyzed . There's a glow of yellow in the dark , gleaming brightly . I am not imagining it , I swear it's there . My heart rate kicks up and I stay frozen where I stand as the yellow eyes draw closer until it appears out of the woods . My heart drops in the pit of my belly heavily and I am not sure if I should scream or en as the huge beast of a grey wolf emerges out of the woods , growling and snapping its jaws at me 912
