Chapter Seventeen

Christopher

I've been in my bedroom for the rest of the day telling myself how stupid I handle this. Why didn't I just tell her I was uncomfortable and insecure about them together? Why did I go and let my anger controller me? How am I going to fix this? Will she even listen to my apology… dammit I haven't even apologized for the last to dumb things I did. A knock stopped me from my thinking.

"Brother can we come in?" (She came in anyways) "Brother, how stupid you have fallen. Didn't I tell you just to mark her and stop whining? Now I have to help you." She turns and pulls Leelan in. "Tell this dumbass what you both talked about. Now" She sat on the left of the room looking at her mate to start.

He told me about the convo how they talked about her life and he talked about his and how he finally fell in love with Olivia. He told me the reason he stayed by her cause he wanted to know his son more. I do remember them walking as a family and not alone together. He said he was apologizing to her for making life hard for her and thanking her for leaving to help him see he really needed his mate.

Oh I'm the stupidest wolf!!! I need to make this right! I walk out my room and go to her door. I knock. Nothing. "Nayla? Can we talk, please?" Nothing. Damn she is giving me the silent treatment this is bad. "Nayla, I'm truly sorry for what I did out there. I was insecure with myself. I was afraid that you would leave me. I can't let that happen because I need you. I need you like I need air…. What I'm trying to say is I love you. I loved you the moment you step off the car and it grew since then. Please Nayla open the door." I begged.

Still Silence. I turn the knob and notice it isn't locked. "I'm coming in Nayla." I said as I open the door.

No one… The room is empty, No Damien, No Nayla. Empty. She is gone. Damn, how I wish was giving me the silent treatment instead. My heart broke. How am I suppose to live now?

Nayla

I walked into the room and slam the door. How dare he call Damien an Accident!! Mate or no mate, No one calls my son an Accident. MY heart hurts. I feel a hug on my side. I look down, "I'm sorry mama. I don't mean to be a problem. Alpha Christopher is right. I'm an accident-"I don't let him finish.

"Damien! I will only tell you this once, so you better listen and remember. You are not an accident! You are my son. My blessing from the Goddess herself! Let no one tell you different!" I tell him while I stare in his eyes to show how serious I am.

"Now let's leave this god forsaken place. Pack some food leave the unnecessary things. We leave now!" He jumps up and starts to pack food and water in his backpack and leaves his clothes.

I wrap him in a blanket, "Like we trained before, I'll shift and you tie yourself to me and don't forget to hold tight onto me, we are going climbing." I shifted and he puts my clothes in his backpack and ties himself he tells me, "okay mommy I'm ready." I jump out the window and head home.

Christopher

I run to look out the window to see if I can see them. Nothing. I mind link my leaders "Have you seen My mate and Damien?" I ask waiting for a quick reply. "No but we will keep an eye out." The both said. My heart sunk more. I'm panicking. "You aren't going to find her. You might as well go to the city where she lives to wait for her there. Nayla is great at hiding herself. I know cause I knew her father. He taught her everything he knew. If you are lucky she will grant you to talk to her back in the city." Leelan said.

I believe every word he says. She has proven time and time again how great she is. Who the hell was her father?

Nayla

We ended up staying in a cave for the night. Damien is hungry. I walk around to check out our surroundings. When Damien was full, he went fast to sleep. I broke down, "why … I was so close to having a mate. I was happy, truly happy with him. But he still saw me as the "townslut" Why?" I cried so much I didn't even noticed Damien looking at me. "Ouch!" He yelps. I turned to look at him, "Damien what is wrong." I panicked.

"Mommy it hurts!" he said on the floor in the fetal position.

"What hurts my love!" I'm freaking out.

"Everything Momma! OUCH! Make it stop mom! I feel like my bones are breaking!!" He cries.

"Oh my sweetheart you are shifting. You felt the need to protect me. Just bear the pain my love. Let your wolf take over and help you. I'll be right here by your side." I hear movement outside and I smell rouges. "Boy I know this is going to be hard but I'm going to push you in this crack. Rouges are outside. I need you to bear the pain in silence." I whisper to him as I nudge him in the small crack.

I shift and walk to the dark wall to keep watch. I see two rouges enter the cave and smell inside. One walks in closer. I get ready to kill him and to attack the other one when I hear a whistle and they turn and run back out. I walk silently and see a lot of wolves and 5 hunters in command. I hear one hunter tell the other "Come Just a few more miles and we should reach that pack if we continue to walk this direction." My heart stops, they are talking about the Red Bridge Pack! I run inside the cave to see a dark brown little wolf looking at me. I tear up, My Boy looks wonderful. I'm so proud.

"What is your name little one?" I asked

"Drako" he says.

"What a wonderful name. The boy you hold is my son, Damien." I tell him

"Yes Mom I am remembering all his memories. I will protect him from harm." He says so proud.

"Great, now you remember the training we have done?"

"Yes Mom. I remember it all."

"Perfect. We need to go back to the pack. They are going to be attacked. We need to help." I tell him

He nods, "I am with you"

Oh my heart!! I'm one proud Mom!
