Chapter 4: Sleep over!

POV Helena
I rushed outside, feeling extremely flustered, my face was probably bright red. Pacing on the pavement my mind wanders.

Why do I feel this way? What's with Eros that seems to pull me towards him? It's like we are connected in some sort of way. And those eyes, why do I feel like I've seen them before?

I feel lightheaded and pacing around outside of a bar isn't probably my best move.

I can't feel attracted to the enemy! I need to get this job done!

But why do I feel like I couldn't kill him? Oh for fucks sake, I've seen the guy two times and have spoken to him one time, how can I feel this way then?

I feel frustrated tears brim my eyes for the second time this evening. Shaking my head I curse myself for feeling the way I do! He's just another one of those monsters who deserves to be killed!

I need to go hunting to clear my head.

"Helena? What are you doing outside, is everything okay?" The voice of Elisa startles me as she approaches me with an worried expression. "Where's my brother?" She asks looking around to find me here alone.

"He hurriedly walked away saying that he needed to go. I know I ain't a very good dancer but so bad that they walk off.." I give a shaky laugh trying to make it funny.

"I'm sure it ain't got nothing to do with you." She says and she smiles trying to comfort me. "And besides how are you gonna get home?"

"I'll walk, my brother is probably sleeping so I won't call him awake."

"Walking alone by yourself at night? No, no, you'll come with me, you can sleep over at my house." I'm taken back by her hospitality. Would she just let a stranger in her house?

Seeing my expression she says, "I feel that I can trust you." She gives me smile and try my hardest to smile back. "Come on, my brothers friend will drive us home."

I nod and she grabs my hand taking me to a big black car, the driver already behind the wheel.

"And it may seem strange but the house I'm living in is a very big one and we live there with quite a few, we're like family, so don't feel surprised if you see a group of boys pass you half naked when you enter the house." She gives a laugh. She's trying to explain to me, an "unknowing human" why they live with so much together although I know that pack members like to be close to their Alpha.

The drive to the pack house was quiet and once arrived I pretended that I couldn't believe how big the house was, even letting a small 'wow' pass my lips.

She took me inside, that friend of her brother, probably the beta, following behind us. Entering the house we came into a big hall with in-front of us a big staircase. She took me to the right to come into a big kitchen were many wolves were chatting away.

They looked up at us as we walked in. The chatting dying away and curious expressions on there faces.

"This is Helena, she's a friend of mine and will be sleeping over tonight." She says taking the word. A string of 'hi' and 'hello's' were send my way before they started chatting again not bothering that a human was in their house.

Feeling slightly uncomfortable I lean from one foot to the other. I've never been with so many wolves in one place, I'm always used to have the advantage but now I am in the lions den.

She feels my distraught and takes me with her upstairs, the beta finally staying behind.

"This is one of the guest rooms, you can crash here for the night." She smiles and opens the door, the light goes automatically on.

It's a simple bedroom, with a medium sized bed, a nightstand, beige coloured duvet and curtains and a few figurines on the dresser.
"There's a bathroom to the right and I will bring you some pyjamas."

She walks off and I walk into the room, closing the door behind me. The first thing I do is pulling my dress up and taking of the holster with my blade, putting it under the pillow so they won't find it.

Walking in the bathroom I first wash my face clear of makeup. Then I slowly take the dress of leaving me in my bra and undies. I quickly take the money and my phone out, laying them on the sink.

Sighing I wash my face again as I think about blazing blue eyes and shining black hair.

A knock on the door wakes me out of my thoughts. "Come in!" I shout. I hear the door opening and footsteps entering the room.

"Here, brought you some pj's. I have laid them on the bed."

"Okay, thank you." I call and I can practically feel the girl smiling from behind the door.

"No problem. Goodnight!" She says and i murmur a soft goodnight knowing that she can hear me.

Exiting the bathroom I see a tank top and a short laying on the bed.
After taking my bra off I put the tank top on and then the shorts.

The soft fabric hugs my chest and the shorts fits loose around my legs. Crawling into the bed I almost let out a content sigh. It's so soft and warm.

I decide to stay awake and wait till I hear that everyone's gone to bed, just to be sure. After about an hour there is a peaceful silence in the house. I close my eyes and prepare myself to fall asleep.

Clang!! Clang!

My eyes jolt open as I hear the sound of metal clinging.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Being the curious person I am I decide to take a look. Getting out of bed I tiptoe to the door as silently as I can. I walk through the halls, trying to listen to the sound of the metal so I can know where it's coming from.

Clang!! Clang!! Clang!!

It's coming from downstairs. I softly walk off the stairs. The noise becomes louder the more steps I take. Standing at the bottom of the stairs I hear that it comes from the right side. I walk into a hallway seeing lights coming from under the last door.

Taking soft steps I make my way to the door. Opening it halfway I come into a sort of gym. In the middle hangs a punching bag, it's swings wild every time Eros hits against it. His back muscles move every time he hits against it, the metal chains clinging loud.

Suddenly he sees me in the mirror that hangs all along the wall and he immediately turns around. His hair is a mess and his eyes look at my surprised. I can see beads of sweat dripping down his face to his torso, his chest heaving fast.

"What are you doing here?" He asks his breathing slowing a bit. I feel nervous standing in a short and tank top in front of him. I can feel my heart pick up the pace.

"I could ask you the same." I breathe out my breath unstable. He rubs the sweat of his face with the back of his hand looking at me through darks lashes.

"I'm blowing of some steam, you?"

I shift from foot to foot. "Well after you left me at the club, your sister, um, told me I could crash here, she didn't want me to walk home alone." He nods his eyes suddenly looking down my body and then up again.

"Sorry that I left you standing there. I just forgot that I had something important to do" I nod and I notice how he slowly comes closer and closer to me. His pupils are bigger and his blue eyes are turning a shade darker.

My breathing is shaggy and I'm sure he can hear it. "Wh-what are you doing?" He comes so close to me that I can feel his body warmth radiating off of him.

"Why-" His question is cut off.

"Hey Eros, have you seen Helen-"
