Her

Talk 9

It wasn't till about eight o'clock when I heard the door open and knew that Sebastian had came back from his meeting with his pack.

He didn't come up towards his room. Thank God.

Thalia had woken up twice since he's been gone and now she was peacefully resting in Sebastian's huge bed with pillows surrounding her. I stayed up here for a few more hours thinking about how I was going to explain all of this to Sebastian knowing that one day I'd find my mate. I had no idea I would find him here out of all places after leaving my past behind.

All this thinking had me restless and on the verge of yanking the door off its hinges and running till I couldn't stop. I didn't want to be here, I wanted to be at home on the couch watching a romantic show while holding my daughter in my arms. I was currently pacing back and forth at the end of Sebastian's bed with Thalia still sleeping like a bear when I decided that now is the time to confront Sebastian about my past, now is the time to let it all go, to tell someone about the pain that I had to experience.

"C'mon Isabella he's bound to know what happened he's your mate." I whisper to myself

Opening the door quietly so Thalia wouldn't wake I looked around to make sure the hallway was empty.

'Well what do you think Isabella he lives alone'

I left the door slightly ajar so that way if Thalia woke up I could hear her better.

One step at a time I was hesitantly walking down the stairs. Some music was playing through the t.v. And the low dim lights seemed to be on in the kitchen. I could smell him, his scent traveled all around leading me to the place he was currently standing at.

'Who doesn't like a man who cooks?' I say to myself

His back tensed up as I stepped into the kitchen and noticed him making something to eat. Their was an eerie silence between the two of us.

"I-..I.. Sebastian..I..-I didn't know how to explain that I had a child and just leave with you..I'm not sorry for giving birth to a little girl who has bro-" I say with a shaky breath and looking at his still body structure, "She brought me peace of mind. Yeah she keeps me up late at night but those are the things I love. It was just me and her and you can't just barge in and take us. There are things we have to talk about, situations in which I choose to keep to myself. You need to understand that. I still need to understand all of this." I say frustrated

Sebastian sets down the spatula and puts his hands on the side of the stove. His hands flex and the veins on his forearms pop out of his skin like they were about to explode.

"Why didn't you tell me Isabella?" He whispers while turning around towards me

I looked at him confused. Did he not just hear what I said. I couldn't, I was scared for my life. My daughters life was at stake anywhere I went and I couldn't come to the conclusion wheather I wanted to stay with my mate or not.

"We've been through so much even when she wasn't born yet and I just didn't know how to tell you that I bore a child into this world." I say brushing a strand of hair out of my face.

"H..how can you, you knew you had a mate out there somewhere Isabella." he says waving his arm towards himself

"It doesn't matter I didn't have a choice okay! It wasn't by choice and I waited but there was nothing. Her fa-... I was there for her father at a bad time and it all went so wrong after we graduated and moved in together. I turned sixteen and while everyone had someone to love and to hold I was alone and I thought I'd never find you!" I yell My eyes getting glossy from the memory all those years ago. No one came to check on me when I was beaten, I never had the strength to pick myself up after being thrown around. I was treated like a complete animal that had nothing left to live for. Until I found out I was pregnant with her.

"You think I wasn't either! I searched and searched but there was nowhere else for me to look for. I gave up after my father died!" His beautiful green eyes now almost a black color

At all the yelling I hear Thalia stirring in her sleep from upstairs and making whimpering sounds. With one last look at Sebastian I turn to head out of the kitchen.

At the last moment a rough hand grips my small wrist and pulls on it softly to get my attention.

"The pack wants to meet you. I am sorry for putting this on you but my pack needs a luna. I set up a gathering for this weekend but I want you and Thalia to meet someone tomorrow." he says his black eyes now a soft shade of green

I nod my head and leave towards Sebastian's room. My heart pounding in my chest at the thought of meeting strangers.
