Blake:

Christian paces at the foot of our bed , I sit with my knees pulled to my chest. Jackson is asleep in the guest bedroom, his words haunt me. Christian sighs "I'm going to kill the rogues!" He snarls slamming his hands against the bed frame , I jump "Calm down." My voice is soothing, Christian shakes his head "Calm down? They want to kill you!" Christian yells. I swallow thickly "Christian please." I plead , he's making me even more nervous.

He stops pacing and watches me "If something would were to happen for you I wouldn't know how to move on, I would die with you." His voice cracks , my eyes well up. Oh Christian "Christian , you are going to protect me. Stop thinking the worst." Christian sits in front of me , he kisses my hand "I love you Blake." I smile with my other hand I caress his cheek "I love you more, don't get over worried. Let's hear the whole story from Jackson first." Jackson passed out right after the pack Doctor patched him up.

Christian kisses my lips "Once all this bullshit is over, I'm going to marry you." He states , I smile at him "Hm I can't wait." I whisper kissing him again , before patting the spot next to me "Come to bed." Christian nods "Im going to shower first." I sigh pouting "Okay hurry." He smirks "I will baby."

Christian leaves the bathroom door open while he showers, I find myself watching him through the reflection in the mirror. I bite my lower lip as he washes his hair , I want to see more. My wolf laughs at 'Oh no miss virgin!' I blush and look away facing the other way.
My mind races with what Jackson told us, I'm afraid he is right.
How can everything go to shit when everything was falling into place? I sigh rubbing my eyes , the clock reads 11 o'clock. I didn't realize it was so late.

My eyes grow heavy just as Christian exits from the bathroom, I peak an eye open. His waist is wrapped a white fluffy towel, he drop the towel suddenly grabbing a pair of boxers. I inhale sharply burying my face in the pillow, his butt is perfectly round. The thought makes me blush.
Christian crawls in bed behind me wrapping his strong arms around me "Are you asleep?" He kisses my shoulder, I moan "Falling asleep." I feel him nod "I love you." I smile "Hmm I love you too." Christian kisses my shoulder once more before pulling away briefly to turn off the lap on his side of the bed. I fall asleep immediately after that.

Hushed voices bring me from my sleep, I peak an eye open its only five o'clock in the morning. "Christian?" I call out sitting up in bed , he's not next to me. His voices carried through our open bedroom door "They won't get her." I stand up from the bed quietly walking to the door "The rogues are more powerful than ever, Christian it's a huge risk." Jackson whispers , he sounds scared. What is a huge risk? "I have to do it, my army is ready." Jackson sighs "What are you going to tell her?" Jackson questions , my stomach turns and my throat rises. Oh no, please Christian. "The truth, she deserves that." I bite my lower lip to keep from crying "Blake won't like it." Christian laughs "I know, but I have to protect her." "I'll stay and protect her Christian , I swear on my life." I hear Christian scowl then some movement "You better or I will kill you." Jackson is quiet.

Christian appears in front of me his eyes widen "Blake." I scowl flipping on the lap "Where are you going!" I yell , Christian sighs "Let me explain." I pout "Explain then!" He grabs my hands "The rogues are coming Blake, they want to to kill you then our pack. I won't let that happen, so I am going to kill them before they get the chance." I swallow thickly "Me and our army are going to attack and kill them, we leave tomorrow." My heart splits in half "Please don't , you will die!" I gasp out tears run down my race.

Christian kisses me tenderly "I have to , I won't risk your life." I sob, I can't imagine if Christian died. "Blake when I get back," he raises my face to look up into his eyes "Im going to marry you, so while I'm gone I want you to plan our wedding." I want to be happy but I can't. He's going to battle and might not come back. I shake my head "How can I do that when you are risking your life!" I exclaim pushing him away "Blake I'm coming back." He reaches from me but I shrug him off "How do you know that?" I question, my palms sweat and I can't catch my breath.

Christian wipes my tears "I promise , don't cry." I laugh bitterly "I love you." He smiles "I love you so much, I can't let anything happen to you." My wolf whimpers, she doesn't want him leaving. I sniffle wiping my nose "You leave tomorrow?" He nods "Yes , the sooner I leave the sooner I'll come back." I hug him tightly burying my face in his chest inhaling his scent. Christina's holds me tightly kissing my hair "I want you to begin planning our wedding, I'll leave cash. I want you to enjoy it." I scoff "I won't without you here." He chuckles "Try for me?" I look up into his crystal grey eyes, a tear runs down my face "I will." My voice cracks and I have to bury my face in his chest to calm my emotions. "I can't bare to see you cry Blake." His voice cracks, I shrug "I'm sorry." He loses my forehead "You'll be my wife soon." I can't help but smile "Mrs Armstrong!" Christian groans happily "That has a great ring to it." I nod "It does." 

That night we cuddle and kiss , until I can't keep my eyes open.
And when I wake he's gone.
