            Now that I knew I was stuck in this place, I wasn’t very eager to leave Grayson’s house. I knew that the wolves would come at me, seeing as they were fighting against my kind. I sat on Grayson’s bed, feeling lightheaded. He had no windows so the sun wasn’t glaring at me but my headache was bad, I didn't finish the bag I drank yesterday and the wolf blood took a lot out of me.

            I fell back on his bed and struggled to stay awake because I wasn’t sure I would wake back up if I fell asleep. I should have drunken more over the past week but we brought no humans with us to camp and I wanted to save the blood for those fighting but now I regretted that choice.

            I rolled over on my stomach and crawled my way to the top of his bed, his pillows suddenly looking very comfortable. I buried my head in his pillows and smelled in his pine smell and I was not in the right set of mind.

            “What are you doing?” His deep voice rumbled.

            “Smelling this wonderful scent.” I said, rolling on my back. “What are you doing?” I asked him.

            “Are you okay?”

            “Perfectly peach perfect.”

            “What?”

            “I need blood.” I sighed, my eyelids getting heavy.

            “What happens if you don't get any?”

            “I go to sleep for a very long time until I have no more blood left and then I die.” I said pulling a pillow up to me and cuddling up with it.

            “Shit. What's wrong with you right now? Where the hell is Maya?” I heard him yell and then Maya was suddenly in there.

            “She’s going through a form of withdraw, she needs blood and soon because she’ll start getting violent before she goes into a coma.”

            “Who?”

            “It has to be a human because anyone else would kill her or make her worse.”

            Suddenly my headache got worse and it was getting irritating.

            “Can we please be fucking a little quieter?” I growled but when I looked up no one there.

            Grayson came in with Maya, two guards, and a human.

            “What the hell is this?” I asked and the human moved forward. It was a male and he was very large, at least twice my size, his arms were as big as my waist.

            “You need blood and he is going to give it to you.”

            “Oh, he’s just going to give me the blood? Seriously, who says I even want his!” I growled. “He’s human, what fight is he going to put up?” I made him kneel to the ground. The wolves stared at me with wide eyes. “He’s useless and he has weak blood, I can smell the weakness from here.” I looked at Grayson and suddenly I was in front of him. “I want you.” And my teeth went into his neck. His blood was so unlike Maya’s; his was so rich and thick.

            The two guards ripped me from Grayson and he held his neck in surprise. I was still thirsty but I was more clear headed. I called the human to me and I bit into his neck, taking my fill.

            “I just want to go home.” I said before falling asleep.
