"The scientists want to see me." I whispered.

"No." Demi snapped. "They can't touch what's mine. I won't let them maul you again." She growled lowly.

"I have so many questions though." I looked up at her when she walked in front of me as I sat on the couch.

"They can FaceTime you then." Demi glared at me.

"What if this is what I've been looking for my whole life? What if my wolf mom is still alive? What if my wolf dad is still alive? What if I have more to me than just a wolf and a human? What if I am more than just a mutant?" I ramble, but when I looked up at Demi she was pissed.

"You can call them and leave a voicemail." Demi snapped.

"They only left an address though." I whispered and bowed my head in submission.

"Then send them a letter back." She took the letter from my hands, but I have already memorized the address. It's about an hour walk from here. A fifteen minute, max, sprint for me in human form. In wolf form I'd be there in under ten minutes if I went through the woods.

"Please Demi." I begged her as she ripped the letter to shreds.

"No," she snapped. "It's time for bed, Harlow." Demi pointed to my room.

I looked at my hands that had just been holding the letter before standing up and going to my room.

"Don't you sneak out tonight either, Harlow. Actually, even though I'm mad you're sleeping in my room. I need to keep an eye on you." Demi grabbed my wrist before dragging me into her room and pushing me on the bed.

"Demi, please calm down." I begged with my eyebrows knitted in fear as I backed up on the bed so my whole body was on it and held myself up by my elbows, ignoring the fact that there were several pillows right behind me.

"Oh sweetie. Our night is just beginning." Demi smirked and jumped onto the bed, straddling my waist in the process. "Are you already turned on or do I have some work to do? Because you disagreeing with me turned me on more than it should've." She smirked down at me as she rolled her hips around on top of mine, gaining as much friction as possible for her pleasure.

"Please stop Demi. You're scaring me." I begged her and tried to push her off, but she quickly pinned my wrists above my head and locked them in place with the cuffs that were still locked around the bedposts from last time. "Red! Red! Red!" I yelled.

Demi rolled her eyes.

I tried to kick my way out, but that earned a jab to the stomach and my ankles being restrained.

"Just give in baby girl." Demi purred.

"Please stop." I begged as the tears started to stream doing my face.

"Harlow!" Hands shook my figure and I shot up off of the couch.

"What? No! No! No!" I yelled and ran to the door. "Get away from me!" I screamed.

"Harlow... what's going on?" Demi put her hands up in surrender.

"Y-you were about to rape me! No!" I yelled.

Tate came running in through the back door. "What's going on?" He panicked and looked around for anyone else other than Demi and I.

"She was about to rape me!" I yelled as my hand gripped the door handle.

"You were having a nightmare Harlow. I came out here to see you shaking. She got a letter yesterday afternoon from the scientists that fucked with you guys. I told her to sleep on it. This is the outcome." Demi quickly spoke before Tate killed her.

"Harlow, is this true?" Tate raised a brow.

"Maybe? I don't know!" I yelled and threw my hands up. My eyes glanced out the window to see the sun coming up over the horizon. It was just turning ten when Demi snapped. Not nearly six in the morning.

"She fell asleep on the couch, so I just let her stay there, because one, I can't pick her up, and two, her back is still iffy." Demi looked at Tate as he started to worry about my mental health and not my physical.

She had me on the bed. Not the couch. Fuck.

"Harlow, please breathe." Demi begged me and took a step towards me.

My legs gave out and I slid against the door still I hit the floor.

"Can I touch you?" Demi slowly walked towards me.

"Please hold me." I begged her as tears started to stream down my face.

Without hesitation, Demi rushed to my side and pulled me onto her lap as she wrapped her arms securely around me. "I've got you." She cooed and slowly rocked me back and forth.

"Let me know if you need anything." Tate whispered to Demi before quietly exiting the house.

"Let's go to bed. Come on." Demi whispered in a soothing tone as she slid her arms under mine to help me stand up.

"I won't be able to go back to sleep." I mumbled as we walked to her room.

"That's okay. We're just gonna lay down." Demi pressed a gentle kiss to my temple before crawling into bed beside me after helping me lay down.

"Hold me please." I whimpered at the loss of contact.

Demi quickly scooted closer to me before pulling me to her chest.

I let the warmth of her body against mine calm me down.

"I'd never do anything without your permission Harlow. Never. Please never worry about that." Demi whispered in a pained tone.

"I love you." I turned around in her arms with tears still streaming down my face.

"I love you too baby." She smiled as she wiped some of my tears off of my cheeks with the pad of her thumb. "Always."

After a few minutes, Demi started to hum softly which made my eyelids grow heavy quickly. "Stop humming or I'll fall asleep." I mumbled as I nuzzled my head into the crook of her neck.

"Just go back to sleep baby. I'll be here the whole time, and if you have a nightmare I'll wake you up as quick as possible. I promise." She pulled her head back a little to look me in the eyes. "Okay?"

"Okay," I nodded before scooting closer to her so I could put my head in the crook of her neck again. I can take in her scent that way, and that alone will put me to sleep. As a hybrid, my sense of smell is spectacular; it's to the point where I know everyone just by their natural scent. Everyone has a different one. Some very similar, but still different. Kind of like eyes; they can be the same color, but the variations of random lines will never be the same, let alone be the same in both eyes.

"I know I've already told you this once in the past ten seconds, but I want to say it again. I love you." Demi pressed her lips against my bare shoulder and it sent a jolt of warmth throughout my whole figure.

"I love you too." A small smile crept on my lips.

"I know you want to go talk to the scientists, but I do want to be there with you so if shit goes down I can help. I don't want them to take you from me. I know they probably won't, but I don't want the possibility to even be in the air." Demi didn't give me a stern look like I was expecting, instead I got a pleading look.

"I was actually going to ask if you could come with me for that reason, and that I may need you to calm me down." I scratched behind my ear and Demi giggled. "What?" I raised a brow as my head slightly tilted to the side out of habit.

"You're adorable." Demi smiled widely before kissing me once on the lips quickly on her way back into the kitchen as I sat on the barstool like every morning. She doesn't cook, she just puts shit in the microwave. I can't cook to save my life. Being part wolf worked out in my favor well, because I can eat raw stuff. Nothing better than a hot raw steak.

"I am not adorable. I am big, mean, and scary." I puffed my chest out slightly which caused her to smirk.

"And adorable." She winked at me before tossing me a container of deli meat. "Easy on that one please. I just bought it yesterday. You went through the family pack size yesterday morning on your own." Demi sighed before turning back around to see half of the container's contents already in my mouth.

"Oops?" I mumbled with my mouth full.

Demi face-palmed as she let out a sigh. "I need to start buying in bulk."

"I'll go shopping with you! I like food shopping!" I perked up after quickly swallowing my food. Fuck chewing.

"Last time I sent you grocery shopping you came back with a shit ton of potato chips, a shit ton of ice cream, and a whole pallet of sports drinks. You are not going grocery shopping ever again." Demi gave me a look to end whatever protest I was about to give.

I paused. "But can I come with you?"

"I don't think the truck can handle a Harlow grocery shopping trip. It can hold an elephant. Not Harlow's weekly intake." She shook her head.

I feel bad for Demi. She has to go grocery shopping once every three or four days because of me. Sometimes more. Tate fends for himself most of the time. But I do pay for the groceries. Well, my parents endless supply of money does, but it's the same idea... kinda?

"When do you want to go see the scientists?" Demi turned the conversation back on track.

"Is tomorrow too soon for you?" I asked cautiously. I am not about to push buttons on a topic like this.

"Tomorrow is perfect. Whenever you want, just let me know and we'll be on our way. I'm taking a gun with me though." Demi gave me a knowing look.

"Fair enough. I don't blame you." I shrugged. "They don't know that Tate is alive. Let's keep that a mystery for them. I don't want to drag him into this." I practically begged Demi.

"I agree, but I would like for Tate to be near, or at least ready to help if need be." Demi added.

"He'll have to stay back a ways in order to be safe, but he'll be ready. That I can promise." I nodded in agreement. "I'll tell him tonight."

"Good." Demi smiled brightly, but a smirk soon replaced it. "I'm bored. Want to help me fix that, or is it too soon from the nightmare. Just let me know, and be honest." Demi looked me in the eyes as she walked around the kitchen island to stand in front of me after spinning my chair to face her so she could stand in between my legs.

"Yes please. It's been over a week since the last time we've done anything." I whimpered as I immediately started to squirm in my seat under her hungry gaze.

"Oh, my poor baby. Have I been neglecting you?" Demi stuck out her bottom lip.

I squirmed in the seat even more as she took a step closer. "Please." A pitiful whimper escaped my throat which earned a smirk from Demi.

"You've been behaving yourself well, so I'll be nice and let you cum today. I expect to see you naked on my bed in less than a minute." She kissed my neck before backing up.

I waited for my cue to start the order she gave me. I need to please her. I need to make her proud and happy.

"Kiss me once, and when I slap your ass the timer starts." She pulled me out of my chair before lacing her fingers in my hair as she pulled my lips to hers.

I instantly became a captive to her touch as her other hand roamed my sides.

About a second later, a sting of pain ob my ass made me jolt up. I took my cue and practically ran as I started to pull my shirt and sports bra over my head at the same time.

I must make her happy.
