A wave of anxiety ran through me and I realized I wasnt going to get far when I landed I must've dislocated my right ankle, which would heal in an hour or so but it was too late, I groaned when his scent filled my nose as the wind blew softly, waving my hair.
I turned around and he was standing there with his arms across his chest, his lips pressed in a thin line. "Look. I know what your thinking. This "plan" you have will not work unless you get help. I can help you, people from my pack can help.
I won't allow you to leave my side. We've found each other and I'm not letting you go." His words touched different parts of me.
I took a deep breathe "I don't want innocent lives wasted on mine." My ankle started throbbing so I leaned on my left leg for support. "Raven, one day, I will be Alpha of the Half Moon pack. And you will be their Luna. These wolves will protect you, not because they have to, because they want to. And I'm coming with you."
He took a few short steps towards me and placed his hands on my shoulders "I am coming with you to fight for what you love, because I'm always going to fight for something I love and that's you." He touched my heart. I never really realized how much he cared about me until he said those words. He pulled me into a hug and mumbled "let's go home." I nodded my head against his chest and we walked back home.
He had propped my ankle up on a pillow wrapped in an ice filled bag. He was overdoing it for just a sprang but I know he just wants to help. I ran a hand through my hair and closed my eyes trying to shake the anxiety away.
I didn't even know if he was telling the truth. What if my mom died long ago and he's just trying to lure me away? But on the other hand I can't risk not being able to save her. Seth must have noticed my aura, because I felt his hand brush up against my cheek and I opened my eyes to meet with his deep ocean blue ones that I could swim in forever if I could.
He must've been reading my thoughts because he started smiling and he leaned his head against mine, gently rubbing his thumb across my cheek bone before the anticipation became too much and I gently grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him in. The feeling of his lips against mine was earth shattering.
All of my worries and anxiousness went away in no time at all. How did I get so lucky? A smile tugged at my lips as I pulled away and buried my face in his neck to hide the blush that spread across my cheeks. He must've just realized why I did because he started chuckling at me "Well it's true, I feel like the luckiest guy having you all to myself."
In all nervousness I moved my leg a bit to see how it was and I felt nothing so I moved it off of the table and he pulled my onto him so he was laying down and I was laying on top of him. I could he was tired as his breathes slowed down to a steady pattern and I traced circles on his chest with my finger. I was fading out myself and I closed my eyes.
"I love you."
