Werefate

Chapter 5

I wake up with the feeling of sunshine kissing my skin. I was hesitant to open my eyes. It takes some time to remember that I was in my room. Yesterday seems like a nightmare. I look at my wrist, it was filled with bruises and abrasions. My body feels sore. The thought itself that something really bad could have happened to me makes me want to cry.

I hear a soft knock. I didn't want to speak with anyone. So I just don't reply. I hear the door open really quietly.

I see my dad comes through the door. He looks at me. It was all that takes for me to dissolve in tears.

I feel his arm encircle me. I put my head in his chest. He kisses my forehead.

" Stop. I don't want you crying honey. We took care of those bastard. They will never hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt you and take you away from us. You are my strong girl now stop with these tears." The steel in his voice just makes me warm.

I live in world full of supernatural. Killing and getting killed for survival was considered normal here. So when dad says he took care of them, it usually means that both of them are dead. And I really don't want to think about that in the state of mind that I am.

" Did you know why they kidn*pped me? " I mumble into his shirt.

Him having this strong supernatural hearing of a wolf gets each word I say without any trouble.

" We will get to the truth honey. You don't worry about these things. Ok? " He soothes my hair.

" Ok. "

" Now honey. Ashley out these is really guilty for making you take a cab. We have always given you an earful about how it's not safe to use a cab to travel. And now you know why we were always hard on you about this topic. She got earful from everyone. And-"

" I know dad. She didn't mean for that to happen to me. Can you send her in. " Gosh parents never stop giving you lecture. Like a typical dad he would have gone on and gone about how unsafe it was it would probably take a whole day. That thought makes me smile.

" That smile butterfly. Never let that smile leave your face. Ok? " He place a kiss on my forehead once again before he leaves the room slowly closing the door as he goes.

I lay on my bed. Feeling tired all of a sudden. I close my eyes. I feel Ashley and lucus on my either side. Ashley hugs me to her chest. I feel Lucus hand on my stomach pulling me to his chest.

And then I feel calm that washes me. It overwhelms me. I feel blessed. As they say every dark day has a shining morning I embrace their love that is slowly draining the darkness that kidnaping left behind. I could finally breathe.

I feel Ashley's tear dripping down my cheeks. And her constant apology. I just hug her tight unable to speak. Unable to break the moment.

But I couldn't leave her to this unnecessary guilty. But it wasn't her fault. It was me that booked a cab.

" Stop crying. And stop with these apologies. I know you never wanted that to happen to me. But it happened. And I don't want to remember it so stop apologizing when there is nothing to apologize for. " I kiss her forehead.

" I shouldn't have left you all behind. And I really can't tell you how sacred I was when I reached home and you weren't around. I told mom and dad about me going to Anna. They thought you were with me when we both weren't home on time. I could have gotten you kill-"

" Stop Ash. Let the bygones be bygones. " I sooth her hair. I mean the turn of event. It was me that was strong. Daddy was right. His girl is strong.

" I know but-"

" No buts. You want me angry? " I sass.

" When my sass queen is back I couldn't ask for more. " She gives me her teary heartfelt smile.

Lucus gives me his silent support. Just hugs me. It's all I need. He knows how grateful I am that he came for my rescue. I knew he felt guilty. Guilty he wasn't the one that drove me home yesterday. I didn't blame him one bit but I knew he wouldn't feel the same. So we just remain there untill mom calls Ashley out and she leaves the room leaving me and luke behind.

" I will kill anyone who tries to take you from us. " The voice that held apology. He was an alpha. Saying sorry was never in his gene. But his voice says a lot.

" I know. " My voice gives him the apology that he needs.

" Butterfly you don't get to scare m.. us like that ." He pulls me close. I put my hands in his hands rested on my stomach.

" I am sorry. I shouldn't have booked a cab. I should have waited for you. " These never ending damn tears.

" Don't you dare say sorry. It happened as you said bygones remains bygones. I agree. Now we move forward. I promise to never leave you." He kisses my hair.

I loved his hair kisses. I feel warm till my toes.

" Luke I need to go buy these things. Mom has given me a list. Help me. " Unconsciously I knew Ashley's voice sounded weird. But I don't give it much thought.

" Can you take Ted with you ? He is just outside your house." He seems reluctant to leave me . I didn't want him to go.

He is hers.

" I am tired. I want to sleep. Luke please go with Ash. " I bury my head with my blanket. And push Luke's hand away from my stomach.

Luke doesn't say anything. Just kisses my head.

" Doze off to the wonderland, butterfly." His voice also sounded weird.

Maybe it's all in my head. It must be.

They both leave the room. But I couldn't help watching from my windows. I see them. Ash was clutching on Luke's hand.

The tightness in my tummy returns. It must be gas. I just close the window, pull the sheets up and sleep.

But the sleep never comes. I start praying Goddess Moon. I pray and pray and just like that I went into a slumber of sleep.
