Silly Thoughts

xXx

I had been thinking lately about how my life turned out to be so different from what I would have imagined. Here I was in bed with Adam Hauptman, the Alpha of the local werewolf pack. Adam could be described as the most overprotective, possessive and controlling man in the world.

I never really liked to be controlled, nor did I ever need a man in my life. I love my independence, it led me to be who I am, the badass mechanic with attitude that can cause more trouble than anyone. But maybe the trouble came from the fact that I had shifter blood in me; coyote blood that is.

I have my own businesses; I never need anyone's help to run it, not counting the few people that would help keep the IRS off my back. But hey, everyone needs help with paperwork sometimes, especially when one is too busy fixing a car.

Being passive isn't really my thing, I prefer to get my hands dirty rather than sit on the sidelines. I have proven that more than once and I will continue to do so if I have to. I had lived without being protected for a long time now so it's useless on me.

I never considered myself as a thing to be possessive about; I wasn't that pretty, I wasn't "eye candy." Being mostly covered in dirt and grease, it was hard to imagine someone growling, snapping and glaring at anyone that would give me a second glance. Not that I mind, it's uncomfortable to feel someone staring at me for too long; I feel itchy and it makes my skin crawl.

I was snapped out of my thoughts, as Adam pulled me close to him snuggling into me.

"Really, Mercy, I thought you said I was the most honest man you ever met, lovable and kind," he said grinning against me.

Smiling at him I said, "Now you forgot to say egotistical too…" Leaning down, I kissed him and I couldn't help but think how silly it was to think of my past. I would never want to go back to that, an empty bed and a lonely trailer. I wouldn't –couldn't trade a life with Adam for anything that resembled the past. It just wasn't worth it.

Star's End Notes: I might add a second chapter from Adam's musing.
