Heart of the Forest

Chapter 32 Millie's POV

Angrily I shoved clothing item after clothing item into our suitcase. I was packing up so that Connor and I could move down to the bunker.

We had no idea how long we would be down there so I packed like everything.

The only person who was going to have a key to the bunker was Sam, who I was still not happy with.

I couldn't believe he even suggested letting Connor try to mind connect with his grandfather. Even if it was to help protect him he could literally over hear anything.

What if he overheard his grabdfather think about how he wanted to kill him? I wanted to cry at the thought.

My poor baby how could anyone want to hurt him he's  the sweetest kid.

Douchebag father in law I wish I could kill him myself.

There was a small knock on the door which caused me to look up for a second only to see Sam standing in the doorway.

Damn him and his good looks.

I immediately looked back down at my suitcase.

"Are y'all all packed up?" He asked quietly while moving towards the bed.
   
"Almost." I curtly said without even looking up. I was completely done packing up and literally just avoiding eye contact.

It really wasn't fair, the cold shoulder I was giving Sam, but I was mad at the situation and taking it out on him.

Wrong I know.
 
"Millie," he said, covering my hand that was playing with the suitcase zipper. I couldn't help but look up at him and immediately got lost in his brown eyes.
 
"You can't stay mad at me forever baby." He was right and I didn't want to but he didn't need to know that.
 
"I just want you and Connor to be safe. I would never put him in harms way. I'm just trying to find out the best course of action to protect him and you. You are the two most important people in my life. I love you Millie." He always spoke with such sincerity.

Damn him.

"I know I'm just, I'm just scared." I didn't realize how true that was until I said those words.

Fuck I was so scared.

The realization caused a sob to escape my lips. Sam pulled me into his arms in response and lightly kissed the top of my forehead.

Why did he always have to smell so good?

"Look at me," he said lifting my chin. "I am going to protect the both of you, I promise," he affirmed before placing a soft kiss on my lips.

His lips on mine sent sparks through my body and I quickly deepened the kiss. We both kissed each other as if we needed one another to breathe.

Breathlessly he broke the kiss and said, "we should get you two down to the bunker," in a husky voice with his forehead resting on mine.
  "Okay," came my helpless reply.
.....................................................................

It had been two weeks and a day since Connor and I had been stuck in this go forsaken bunker.

Sam spent the mornings training his men, the after noons working, and the evenings training again.

Each night he would come visit us for at least an hour or two. Each time he would come with a new toy for Connor, who was getting more restless by the minute.

Connor and I had watched 7 movies, done 3 puzzles, and played every board game down here.

Connors exact words 2 days ago were "this was fun but I'm ready to break outta here and go outside."
Poor guy loves to be outside.

Just as I was thinking of what activity we could do next I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. This literally made my heart race with fear every time but every time it was just Sam with a new toy.
 
"Who wants a present?" Sam called.

"I do I do," Connor rang out knowing it was for him.

At that moment Sam came down with a mini trampoline.
Seriously?

"Yay!" Connor squealed running to his new toy, which Sam immediately placed on the ground for him and Connor started jumping.

"You are going to spoil him with all of this toys," I scolded while shaking my head.

"What? I feel bad no kid wants to be trapped down here especially not a wolf. He's probably so stir crazy," Sam refuted while shrugging his shoulders before placing a small peck on my lips.

"Yeah about that how long are we supposed to stay down here? I mean we can't go on like this." It was true even I wanted to see the sunshine but Connor, Connor needed to see the moon he asked me every night.

"Millie, I told you yesterday I don't know. It could be another day, another week, another month. I have no idea if the your father in law knows anything or what his plan is."

Ex father in law. I corrected in my own head.

"Ugh," I breathed out thinking. I didn't want to let Connor try to mind link his grandfather but I also knew Connor could not live like this for long. I was basically torturing him.
 
"Okay," I said taking a deep breath.

"Okay what?" Sam questioned, confused.
 
"Okay Connor can try to mind link the alpha of the Red Moon pack." Sam went from smiling at Connor and home he jumped on the minie trampoline to staring at me wide eyes.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yes, um I guess yes," I confirmed reluctantly.

"Okay I'll get it set up then." Sam nodded before turning back to Connor clapping while Connor did a trick.
