The Day I Started Living

Chapter 24

POV Kiera

Lana and I spoke till the late hours of the night, just us lying there in the bed. It felt so comfortable it was like we've been best friends for years, I stared at the ceiling just listening to Lana's slow breathing.

"Are you ever going forgive him?" whispered Lana, her eyes were wide open looking at me with sadness and misery

I sigh, "I don't know" I say turning my head away from her "I-I just want him to be happy and if she makes him happy then I guess I should let him go" I chock out, the very thought of him with someone else is just so heart shattering.

"NO!! Don't you dare" I heard a voice boom from behind the door, my heart bounced at the sound of his sadness and anger "Do-Don't leave me" his heart broke from behind the door as he spoke the words from his heart "I will fight for you when you are wounded, make no assumptions" was all he could say as his guardian took him away from his life and his loves room.

"Don't give up on him, not yet" I heard Lana say into the intense stillness of the room

I turned away from my friend and let the silent tears roll down my face as the emptiness consumed my heart, I didn't realize what he was too me until he wasn't there anymore.

Not being allowed to touch him is complete torture. I'd rather just kiss him than have to pretend I don't want him I've been fidgeting, crying and sighing all day I can't stop tapping my fingers. It feels like I want to scratch at my skin when his is not around. I'm coming down from a high that's exactly what it feels like. He is a drug I've become addicted to and it hurts that I can't be with him, the only thing that satiates the craving is his laugh, his smile the warmth he gives off as he lays next to me and whispers good night. God, it's so hard not to be with him.

***Next Day***

I got up at 6.45 AM to shower and get ready for the day ahead , when I walked back into the room Lana was gone all that was left was a note saying she left to get ready and to meet her down stairs for breakfast, I smiled at her decorations around the note. I walked into the walk in closet and as I put on my outfit I notice I had bags under my eyes due to the fact that I couldn't sleep without Kieran being near me, it was utter torture knowing he was there but not here with me.

I wanted to add make-up but I'm not the type for make-up, I took a deep breath in as I put my iPhone in the pocket of my black galaxy hoodie and pulled on my black vans, I also decided on a 'Queen' iPhone cover with a cute silver necklace to complete the outfit.

I walked out of the room and followed the heavenly smell of bacon and pancakes to the kitchen where Lana and Troy sat laughing and sharing a plate of food, my heart sank at their happiness not that I wish they weren't happy but that they wouldn't do it in front of me.

Cora looked up from the pan as I approached her, she smiled at me but I could tell that the separation between Kieran and I affected them all.

"Morning Cora, what's cooking?" I asked smiling at the pan of food.

"MH, let's see we have pancakes drizzled in the syrup of your choice" she said wiggling her eyebrows, I nod my head "And Tomatoes and Bacon egg muffins"

"mmhhh, sounds so good" I moan, as I start to dish up. Lana giggles as I obsess over my plate of food

"Wow!" Troy said after a low whistle in my direction "never met a girl so in love with food" Troy mused, watching me shovel the food down-

"Kiyawa" said a soft voice from behind me, I visible stilled long enough for me to recollect my thoughts as questions and memories jumped at me and face Liam, who was still in his adorable Spiderman pajamas.

"Hay, kiddo! How you feeling?" I said once I was off my seat and kneeling before him as he stared and me with is huge eyes that still hold the remnants of sleep.

"I's stiwl tired, I – I couldn't sleep" he said looking at the fall, brows furrowed as he thought of his reasons for why he was so tired "I hear mi Boba cry an- and den I hear you cry and I don't like when you all cry" he said, still watching the fall.

I look at him in confusion then beheld those who stood or sat watching the two of us, a question on my face until-

"He was born with a gift to attach himself to others, emotionally but only to those he cares about" Cora whispered as he came up to us and lifting Liam off the ground and onto her him.

"It's both a curse and a blessing" said Robert as he entered the kitchen giving both his mate and son a kiss, he wore a black and gold tunic and pants with a small gold crown upon his head " A curse because he will someday feel the death of all those his attached himself too and a blessing because with this gift will come the gift of health-giving" he said with both pride and sadness .

I nod my head and all returns to its normal light and happy morning breakfast, well for everyone else I still sat in my chair one eye one the delightful food in front of me but another on the door. Lana soon claimed that the time had come for us to start making our way to the front of the house where we will be taken to school.

The school was massive, the main lawn had scattered groups all around Lana laugh quietly as I gawked out the window drooling at how big and beautiful the school was.

John the driver had stopped just outside the school doors so we wouldn't have to walk across the parking lot whilst stared at the new comers, most already knew Troy because he had been going to training with Lana ever since he found out he was Kieran's guardian. No one knew about it they all thought he was a new recruit and Lana's mate.

"Keira, hay" I felt him before he spoke but, damn, his voice.

I swirled around to see that coincidentally we matched up and , damn did he not look fine but I couldn't look at him too long before I felt the mate bond begging for his affection so I averted my eyes to stare at his. I heard his whimper at my distance but didn't object to my distance only lowered and walked away.

I looked up to see Lana staring at me with hurt in her eyes  but her lips pursed as if she had a plan already forming in the bright head of hers.

"Come on!" I said a excitedly as I could " I really want to check out the school before  school starts" I turned around and walked straight through the massive wooden doors.
