Let Shadows Die

Andy was pissed. How could Juliet do that to him. He loved her. He was finally ready to tell her the secret he had been keeping from her. It had not gone the way he'd hoped. She had freaked. She had called him a freak of nature. She had told him she couldn't believe she had fucked him. It had hurt when she said that.

He took another swig from the bottle in his hand and continued what he had been telling CC.
"I had to erase her memory. I mean how could she react like that? We've been together for so long. She should know by now I'm not a monster."
"I'm sorry it didn't work out, man. It sucks she couldn't handle it."
"I should have known better. Humans never handle it well. They always assume we're evil demons who wanna kill them."
"That's not true. Look at Sammi and Ella. They handled it ok. Juliet just wasn't the the one for you. You'll eventually find someone who can handle it and then you'll wind up just as happy as Jake and Jinxx."
Andy sighed. "yeah, you're right, I know, but I just feel like shit right now. I hoped I would be marking my mate tonight and now she thinks I cheated on her. I guess she'll tell everyone we know what a dick I am and then they'll hate me too."
" Don't think like that, dude. You'll find the right one. It just takes a while sometimes."
"yeah, I guess you're right. I think I'm gonna go hunting." Andy said, wanting to change the subject."You wanna come?"
"No thanks, I'm good right now."

Andy left his hotel room. He had the next two days off then a concert. After that it was on to the next city. He hated the idea of having two days off with no one to spend them with. He should have known Juliet wasn't his mate. Being half werewolf he would have smelled it on her, but he had always been more vampire than werewolf.

Being a half-breed, he knew it would be harder for his mate to accept. It was hard enough for just a vampire or a werewolf, but he was both. Most humans would see him as twice the threat.

In reality he was. He was twice as dangerous as either a werewolf or a vampire. he could easily kill either because he was stronger, faster, and had all the abilities of both of them put together.

In truth though, he was a gentle soul. He would never kill unless he had to. Even when he hunted he never took more than he needed. Humans never remembered it because he made them forget. It was better to stay in the shadows than to risk being killed for being something they had been taught to fear all their lives.
