Her Secret

Chapter 24

Jayden's Pov

I woke up to the sun flickering through the trees as they swayed in the wind. I slowly breathed in the scent of morning dew as I listened to the creatures of the morning sing their song. I recalled the memories of last night; I remembered how Nala and I freed ourselves in the woods and let our instincts take over. Nala. I looked down to see her curled up into my side. Her hair was splayed across the soft grass and her skin glowed brighter than ever before. I knew it was because she had finally reconnected with nature. I could see it in her eyes, the way she let nature recharge her and take over. I saw her eyes flutter open, her first view being me.

"Good Morning wild child," She murmured. She rose up and stretched, yawning as she stretched the sleepiness out of her system.

"Morning Nala," I responded as I softly nudged her stomach which peeked out from under her shirt. She giggled as she softly pushed my snout away. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel euphoric," She exasperated. "So much tension is gone from my body, I feel like the little girl who ran around the yard in Houston," She reminisced.

"That's what embracing your wolf can do for you," I replied. "We gotta do this again,"

"I'm down," Nala sighed as she laid back on the ground. She stared up at the gold and lavender sky, what a beautiful sunrise. Birds glided across the sky, singing their morning songs. Crickets hopped and chirped and the critters crawled. Water trickled it's downward path in the distance. The orchestra of nature played it's morning song, adding to our euphoric feelings.

"I don't wanna go back inside," Bey pouted, "Like ever again,"

"If you never go back inside, the outside won't seem as beautiful. You'll become used to it's beauty and soon it will no longer feel special," I sighed. "You have to have a balance,"

"Like Yin and Yang," She whispered.

"Like Yin and Yang," I though back.

Jay's Pov

I paced back and forth in the room, the grip I had on my glass making the contents inside shake. The clink on the ice against the glass were faint background music to the racing thoughts in my mind.

"Jay I'm so confused as to what the actual fuck you talkin bout," Kanye groaned. "What's wrong with the kid,"

"She's a goddamn monster Ye," I shouted. "Do you not see the issue?"

"Maybe puberty just hit a little too hard and she's just real hairy? Ain't no way a little girl can be a threat to you my nigga."

I met Ye at the studio to get this shit off my chest. I wasn't right after I left the bar. I've been camping out at one of our Condo's in New York. I found out Ye was on a trip to New York I called him over. After a few drinks, I started thinking about how much I missed my wife. I can't let her stay with that monster; I can't let my children stay with that monster. When I first explained it to him he thought I was just saying she's a evil fucking child, a human. She's nowhere close to being a human. She's tainting my family. I don't like that shit.

"Nah Ye, her eyes turned yellow and the bitch had fangs," I sighed. "You can't fake that shit. And she's trying to tell my family that they're monsters like her," They can't be monsters. I can't love a monster.

"Well Shawn, if you think yo family is in danger, you got two options. You can either run like a pussy ass nigga, or you can fight. You already ran like a pu-"
