Chapter Fifteen

It's morning time and Damien is up and ready for his practice, not for the pack "warmup" but my real practice. We walk to the woods and start. Towards the end of our 4 hour practice, I feel eyes on me it's him. He notices me and waves my way. "Lunch is ready if you are done and Damien the kids are looking for you." Christopher says.

Damien looks at me waiting for the approval, I nod. "Yes! Okay see you later Mom!" As he runs off and leaves me and my mate alone. I smile and look down. "Would you like to take a walk." He asks as he extends his hand. This has been our routine for the past week; he finds ways to get me alone and ask for a walk and we just talk about ourselves. I know a lot about him, and I had no clue Olivia was his sister. He's going to flip once he finds out me and his sister's mate has a child together. I dread that day. He interrupts my thought.

"Can I ask you a personal question Lala?" He looks serious as we stop and sit on a boulder by the lake.

"What do you want to know, Chris?" I lean on him and enjoy the tingles it gives me; I can stay like this for the rest of my life.

"Do you still love Damien's father?" He asks

"Truthfully, I do. He was my best friend throughout my childhood, and he helped me when I was at my low. He will always hold a place in my heart because of this." I smile at the thought of Leelan following me throughout the years trying to give me flowers or when he practiced longer with me so he can pin me down just for a kiss.

Christopher was silent after that answer. We just stay looking at the lake while I rest on his shoulder.

We started to walk back to pack house and Damien runs to us. "Mom can I spend the night at the twins house! A bunch of kids are going to be there, can I please???"

"How can I deny when you give me those handsome eyes?" I chuckle as he runs back to the kids saying I said yes.

Christopher

I was in my room later that evening, I couldn't stop thinking about her answer about Leelan. It hurt me. No Christopher she never said she loved him as a lover she said as a best friend. But isn't it obvious they had a kid together so she must feel something more than friendship? No but she ran away but just so "He" can be happy not because she didn't love him. OHHHH can I just punch Leelan!!! Damn him!

It was late but I wanted to see her. My wolf was already attached, who am I kidding we were attached the first time she looked up at me. When I was done thinking I was confused. How did I get in front of her door? OMG did I already knock!? Let's RUNAWAY before she senses me!! I turn but it was too late she opens the door.

"Christopher?" she asks

"Oh hey Nayla. I um I wanted to know. Um… (think dammit FOR THE LIFE OF YOU THINK!!!) Want to go for a run? I haven't let out my wolf, so I was going to go for a night stroll. Care to join me?" I blurt out mentally slapping myself. But stop immediately after her answer.

"Sure, just let me change to more suitable clothes." I nod as she closes the door.

I wait for her downstairs and my wolf is doing circles. I definitely need to calm my heart before she hears it.

We got to the forest and she goes behind a tree to strip as I do the same but out in the open cause I was hoping she would try to take a peek. When she comes out I was amazed. She was huge for a female. I was admiring her as long as she was staring me. Then I felt a nudge on my shoulder, Oh yes we were going for a run.

We ran our little hearts out and stopped at the cliff to look at the moon. I was wondering how lovely it would be if she would carry my scent, my mark, or my pups. Then I feel her rub under my neck as she lays on her side. I lay my head on her neck and just enjoy this moment. I love this woman; she is my everything in such a little time she and her son has consumed my heart.
