Chapter 270
A chuckle fell from his lips. “So, f g stubborn”. He pulled me back to him. “And I f g love it”. His lips brushed against mine. “I love every little thing about you”. Another kiss. I couldn’t hide my smile. Even our kisses felt better. The air around us electrifying, the bond we shared blossoming. I had so much love for him and nothing else in this world mattered. This right here, us, it was all I will ever need.
“What you smiling at p>
“I’m happy”
“Then that’s all that matters”. He placed a kiss against my forehead before leading us into the kitchen. “Did you eat breakfast p>
“I had coffee”. The disapproving look he was sporting made me smile. “I can’t run with a full stomach”. I swear he was obsessed with my eating habits. But I guess he was just looking after me.
“I’m taking you for breakfast and then we’re going to the bank so you can deposit the cheque that’s been stuck to the fridge for weeks p>
I forgot that was there.
“Fine”. I took the cup he was offering and sat at the table. I was a little nervous, I hated the suspense of not knowing.
“Jessica and her family are gone. They were escorted last night; they will not return and if they do it will be their death p>
“Death?”. My mouth became dry. I didn’t like the girl, but I wouldn’t want to see her get killed.
“They are no longer part of our pack. Therefore, if they come back, they are trespassing. I can kill them on site and believe me I will p>
“Surely they know that p>
“They didn’t leave on good terms Leah, so we need to be aware of our surroundings at all times. I’ve upped the patrol for the next few weeks and my outside wolfs will be floating around everywhere”. So that’s why he was okay with me going for a run on my own. He had people out there watching.
“Do we need all that p>
“Our pack are our family; you are my life. I must be prepared for the worst p>
Surely, Jessica wasn’t dangerous? I remember the girl crying in the toilets, the girl I took care of and made sure she got home safe. Jake was going on as if they were a real threat. Maybe they were.
I wasn’t worried. If this was a few weeks ago I’d have been overthinking and making myself sick with worry but not now. If she came for me, I would be ready.
My wolf will be ready.
“But you”. He stood in front of me placing his hand under my chin. “Have nothing to worry about. You’ll always be protected”. As he kissed the end of my nose I frowned.
If anything was to ever happen and I don’t just mean with Jessica. If we were ever under any threat then I wanted to be there, I wanted to fight not hide away. “Jake p>
“Leah p>
“Call your parents. I want to meet my dad, like today p>
It was time to find out who I truly am.
