((okay time skip))

Eric smiled as he held Miriam close to him and felt like the luckiest person in the world to have her. Kissing her head gently, he smiled, "you know I love you more then I can possibly show you." he said to her softly. Gently stroking her cheek, "and I am never going to leave you." he said as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Eric smiled as he held her close to him and smiled as he looked down at her, "I dont know what I would do if I lost you." he said to her soft and then kissed her gently. He then smiled as he looked down at her and stroked her head gently. When she rubbed his chest, he couldn't help but purr as he pulled her closer. He knew that he would be with no one else, one thing that a werewolf got from wolves was that once they mated, they were mated for life. He knew he would have to tell her that, but he wasn't sure how she would react and he didn't want to ruin this moment right now.

Eric held her close as he kissed her back and purred more as she rubbed his chest. Hearing her words made him smile, that was until he heard the sound of a car coming into the driveway. Looking down at her as the sound of the door opening and closing came from downstairs, he whispered, "should I hide?" he knew he could hide in minutes and make it seem like he was never here. He wasn't sure if it would be good if her dad saw him here with her like this.

Eric watched her as she moved out of bed and frowned when he heard her whimper. All he wanted to do was pull her back into bed and hold her close. Yet he knew that she had her dad to worry about. When he passed by the door, he relaxed slightly and nodded when he saw her motion. Sitting up, he pulled on his boxers before getting out of bed. Then, like a ghost, he made his way over to her without a sound and took her hand into his. "go back and lay in bed, I will gather my stuff and hide it just incase." he whispered into her ear as he stuck close to her.

Eric nodded when he heard her and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him. "okay, but just incase lay down." he said to her softly and found smell a asortment of emotions rolling around her. Looking down at her, he kissed her head before whispering, "everything is going to be fine and if anything happens I am going to be at your side. I am bound to you for the rest of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way." he whispered to her as he held her close. He then slowly let go of her and headed over to his clothing. Sliding on his pants and shirt, he then tucked the wrapper from the protection he had used in his pocket before walking over to her. "I wont be far, if anything happens just scream and I will come right away." he said as he pulled her into a hug one last time and kissed her gently.

Eric smiled as he held her close and kissed her. "I will be, I wont be far." he said to her softly as he held her close. He then picked her up and walked over to her bed. Laying her down, he tucked her in and smiled at her, "now just relax." he said as he kissed her one last time. He then headed over to the door and crouched down, staying low as he opened the door. Then with when he was sure that he was safe, he shot out of there and was in the guest room in seconds. Picking up his bag, he slung it over his shoulder before silently shooting back to her room. Once their, he smiled over at Miriam, "I will just be in the forest." he said to her before he headed to her balcony and seemed to vanish. It was like he was never there.

Eric wasn't planning on being long, he just didn't want to leave his bag in her room. If her father ever saw it, things would get a little suspicious and he would rather not get in trouble or get Miriam in trouble. After looking around for a bit, it started to rain and he sighed slightly. Quickly tucking his bag up into a tree, he headed back to her house. He was just there when he stopped and a growl erupted from his throat. Turning, he saw yellow eyes watching him and he knew it was trouble. Staying where he stood, he watched as the eyes got closer and soon the form of a man came. "well, if it isn't another wolf." he said as he watched Eric. Eric just watched him carefully, "never expected to find another here, are you just passing threw?" he asked and Eric shook his head. "this is my town, so you better keep on moving." Eric growled at him. The man just laughed though, "oh dont worry, I will but I hope you dont mind. I might be grabbing a snack before I leave." he said before vanishing into the darkness thanks to the Storm. Eric just stood their, and growled more till he was sure he was gone. ONce he was sure, worry and panic filled him. Shooting back to Miriam, he calmed down when he saw her. She was safe. But what did that mean for the rest of the town. Still shaking with anger and panic, he walked over to Miriam and pulled her into his arms. He needed to make sure that she was okay, he would have to make sure this town was okay.

((thought it would make it interesting))

She laid there in her bed as her tears came to a stop. Miriam sighed and thought of Eric as she wished for him to come back to her side. Her eyes went to Eric as he stood there, wet from the rain. The brunette smiled as she saw him but got a bit worried as he hugged her as he shook. "What's wrong? Are you cold?" Miriam asked attempting to stand to get him a towel or a blanket while pulling her robe around her.

((That's fine.))

Eric just pulled her closer into his arms when he heard her, glad that she was okay. Keeping her close his shook his head, "things are bad." he said to her softly as he held her close to him. "another wolf is here, one that isn't as friendly as I am. I am not sure how long he is going to stay and I know he is going to cause trouble." he said as he looked at her. Sitting down on her bed, he sat her down in his lap and kept her close. "promise me, you wont go anywhere alone." he said as he looked at her, he wanted her to be as safe as possible.

Eric looked down at her, "he said he wanted a snack, and even though it was raining I could smell blood on him. Human blood. I think he is one of the wolves who thinks that it is okay to prey on humans." he said as he held her close to him. When he heard her promise, he calmed down at bit and kissed her back. Hearing her and being able to hold her made him feel ten times better. Signing slightly, he pulled her closer to him, "I am just worried is all. I dont want anything to happen to you or this town." he said as he looked at her and kissed her head gently.

Eric held her close and nodded, "I will make sure nothing will happen to you." he said as he looked at her and slowly relaxed into her touch. Slowly leaning back, he laid down on her bed with her in his arms. "I am never going to let you go. I will protect you with my life and be at your side." he said to her softly as he gently stroked her cheek.

Eric held her close to him and kissed the top of her head. " I love you more then anything else. So far your making my life a thousand times better." He said as he held her close to him. Stroking her head happily, he smiled, " and I am never going to leave you." He said, he was completely oblivious to her father waking up. All his attention was on her and nothing else.

Eric smiled as he held her close and kissed her back just as passionately. Yet when he heard the door open, he felt himself get ready to fight. That was until he heard that voice and he looked over to see her father. When he pulled her off of him, he had to stop himself from growling. Getting up, he stood between her and her father, "sir, I would rather stay here till Miriam got dressed." he said, his voice held power and told her father he wasn't going to budge. With the threat of another wolf, he wasn't going to go anywhere without her.

Eric wanted to growl and make it clear that her father wasn't the one with the power in this situation. Yet when Miriam placed her hand on his shoulder, he calmed down at bit and looked at her. Nodding, he leaned in close and whispered, "if anything happens, just call for me." he said into her ear and then kissed it gently. He then turned to her father, it took everything in his power not to growl at him when he heard the tone of voice he used. "fine." he said and then headed out of her room, but not before looking back over his shoulder at Miriam. He was still worried but he knew he would do his best to talk to her father. Heading down to the living room, he sat down and waited to see what would happen.
