Silent wolf

Chapter 11

"Layla" she whispered.

Cam and I have been trying to get the little girl to talk for over an hour. We were sitting on the floor of the living room. Between her still being scared the rouge would get her and being snuggled deep into my fur, that's the first word we've heard her say.

"Hey Layla, can you tell us how old you are?" Cameron said softly. Layla held up 4 fingers and then yawned. She put her arms around my neck and dug her face further into my fur. I craned my neck and licked her cheek, making her giggle.

"Do you wanna take a nap, Layla?" Cam asked. She nodded her head and yawned again. He picked her up off of me and began to walk upstairs when I suddenly got an idea.

I stood up and trotted over to the bathroom. I whined at Cam to get his attention. He turned around to look at me with a questioning look. I scratched on the door but he still didn't understand. This time I walked to him and grabbed his pants leg and dragged him to the bathroom door. He stared at me for a moment but opened the door. I walked inside and sat near the bathtub.

A look of realization crossed his face and he turned on the tub water. "Layla, we are going to give you a bath okay?" She nodded a bit hesitantly but did not put up a fight. Cameron  put Layla down and began to run warm water into the tub. I pawed open a low cabinet and found exactly what I was looking for.

Bubble bath soap.

Taking it in my mouth, I brought it over to where Cam was. He took it from me and smiled as he poured some of the soap into the water. Layla giggled as she watched the bubbles begin to form and grow throughout the tub. Some even began to float through the air.

As a few bubbles floated towards my head, my wolffish instincts kicked in and I began jumping and snapping at the bubbles playfully. Cameron began to laugh as he helped a smiling Layla pop floating bubbles too.

Cameron's POV

After bathing Layla and my mate jumping in the bath with her, I dried them off and put Layla to bed in a spare room next door to mine. I walked back into my room to find my little wolf already curled up under the covers.

I pulled off my shirt and jeans, leaving me just in my boxers. I pulled up the covers to climb in and cuddled up next to my mate. She stirred and looked at me with her big brown eyes before closing them again.

"You smell like wet dog." I muttered as I put my face to her fur. She huffed in annoyance but curled up closer to me before falling asleep again. Not long after, I was asleep too.

Sarah's POV

I was running. I wasn't sure from who or what but I knew I was in danger. I ran and ran faster while my pursuers followed swiftly. Weaving through trees and over fallen branches and logs, I thought I had lost them.

I shifted back into my human form and looked around. It was nighttime and I was surrounded by woods and more woods. I suddenly heard a branch snap behind me and started to run but it was too late. My pursuers had caught me. Lurking in the shadows in their dark wolves they tackled me and started to tear me limb from limb as I screamed for help. But it was no use. I felt my body rise up and into a peaceful light. I was almost there when I fell. No longer was it light but I fell into an endless pitch black void, never to come out again.

I shot up from the bed with a loud scream that startled even myself. I was drenched in sweat and I was shaking horribly. I realized I was in my human form and no longer in my wolf anymore.

I felt movement beside me and jumped, forgetting I wasn't alone. I quickly jumped up out of the bed and backed away, falling in the process.
"Hey, hey I promise I won't hurt you just please, please come back over here." My mate pleaded as I looked at him in panic. I hesitantly tried to get up and take one step forward but my legs felt like jelly. I fell to the ground once more and this time Cam came and swooped me up into his embrace and carried me back to the bed.

He set me down and went to his drawer of clothes, taking out a large t-shirt. I debated about shifting back into my wolf before deciding against it, seeing how it had affected my leg movement. Cameron handed me the large t-shirt but I just stared at him confused at what I had to do with it.

"Love," he said huskily as I watched his eyes darken as they skimmed my body. "I suggest you put that shirt on before I mate with you right here and now and I know you're not ready for that."

I blushed furiously, now realizing I was actually naked and pulled the t-shirt over my head. It landed almost at my knees due to my petite frame. Cameron's eyes returned to normal and he stared at me intently. I tried to focus on him but my eyes were becoming droopy. I tried to stifle a yawn but failed miserably.

Cameron sighed and moved to the other side of the bed. He got under the covers as I did the same. He slung his arm around my waste and pulled me closer to him. I initially stiffened but then relaxed into his comforting touch. "We will talk in the morning, my love, so that you aren't as tired and can concentrate. But please, no shifting back into your wolf. I've waiting too long to see your beautiful face." He kissed my head and on that note, we both dozed off into a dreamless slumber with no thoughts but each other and what the morning would bring.
