You're my mate... I will never let anything happen to you

Chapter 7

December 12

(8:00 p.m) 

I combed through Sean's wet hair. Pulling out knots that have somehow managed to build up in his short, brown hair.

I have on my night clothing, a pair of grey sweatpants and a pink tank top. I have my hair loose for once. No make-up on my face, thankfully. 

Those little girls from this afternoon made me stay there until 4 p.m. I really hope I never have to do that again, yet I will have to go to her birthday party this Saturday the 15th. 

William at the moment is just sitting on the bed with Sean and I, just relaxing on his back reading The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. William has not allowed me out of his sight since I told him about Evan's flirting. 

"Ow," Sean complained after I pulled a knot out of his hair. 

"Sorry," I whispered and then kissed Sean's cheek. 

I have my legs spread apart so that Sean can sit directly below me, this way I can see the top of his scalp. 

"Momma!" Sean said suddenly. He pointed to my feet. "Your toe is bleeding!" 

I looked down at my right foot, my big toe is bleeding. "I'll live." I muttered in annoyance. 

I flexed my feet and relaxed them again. 

I got to leave from my filming at 7:30 tonight since my part in this episode isn't very large in the beginning of the episode. Tomorrow I will not get off work until around 10 or 11. 

I pulled out the last knot from Sean's wet hair, and put the comb down on the bed. 

I wrapped my arms around Sean and pulled my legs in. I can usually hold Sean like this for an hour before he goes to bed. He never complains because I typically start fake crying if he leaves me. Sean is convinced that I am a very delicate woman that is hurt easily, so Sean will do whatever I saw because he gets concerned that I will start crying. 

*knock knock* 

I heard someone knock at our door, William got up faster than a bolt of lightening. 

I held Sean closer to my body. Sean didn't do anything but somewhat reposition his head closer to my chest. 

William opened the door quickly. Kate, an elder of our clan looked at William and then towards Sean and I. 

"Kirk is calling a clan meeting, everyone is too attend including children." Kate said in her usual numb voice. 

Rarely does Kirk allow children to attend clan meetings. When they do it typically ends with them saying they are bored. 

"Be their down in ten minutes." Kate said. 

William closed the door as soon as Kate began to turn away. He walked into the bathroom after that and grabbed his shoes. 

William sat on the bed with Sean and I again. 

"I have a bad feeling about this." I muttered. 

"Don't worry," William said in a slight comforting tone. "Nothing is going to happen to you. I told Kirk all about the information you collected and more." 

"God!" William muttered. "I know alphas flirt with women, but they typically flirt with unmated women!" 

William looked pissed as he put his shoes back on. I looked sympathetic towards him, I even tried to reach into his mind. 

I got nothing from him at all, not even his thoughts. Nothing, he has completely closed me out! 

I kissed Sean cheek, signaling him to get off of the bed. Sean did as ordered and ran off into the bathroom. I crawled over to William gently. I wrapped my arms around his neck, I kissed his cheek delicately, more of a motherly kiss. 

"Don't close me out." I whispered into his neck. 

William didn't reply. "Don't close me out, if there is something you need to tell me about I need to know. I hate to see you like this." 

"I haven't closed you out." William lied. 

"Then why can't I read your mind?" 

"I haven't closed you out of my mind at all." William turned to me. "You should still be able to read my thoughts." 

William stared at me intensely. "Can't you hear me?" 

William got watery eyed. I shook my head worriedly, and slightly innocently. There's something wrong here. I should be able to hear him! I have a gift to hear everyone's thoughts. I should here him! He's my mate for God's sake! I should be able to hear him! There's something wrong. 

"No, I can't hear anything." I whispered as I started to cry. 

Why can't I hear him? Is there something wrong with our bond? No, no, no! I am supposed to be able to hear him, I am supposed to know what is on his mind at all times. Even though I already know that I am the one on his mind almost all the time so reading his mind sometimes is a waste of time! There is something wrong here, perhaps I have lost my connection with everything? 

William stood up suddenly and began pacing around the room. William oddly started to cry over this, it really isn't that bad. No! It is bad, look at us! We have lost our bond within 24 hours! 

"Can you still hear my thoughts?" I half begged. 

"No, and that has me even more concerned." William muttered while hastily pacing. 

Sean walked back into the room. In desperation I thought, Sean can you hear me? 

Sean turned to me in an odd way. "Yes, momma." Sean replied. 

"Sean can still hear me." I noted softly. 

"You're his mother, you have always had a natural bond with him." William whined. "Let me try." 

Sean just stared at both of us as if we had lost our minds, and if William and I are lucky that is what has happened. 

"Can't you hear me?" William asked Sean. 

"What?" Sean asked as if he hasn't been paying attention to us. "I can only hear momma. I can't hear you at all." 

Why are you crying mother? Sean thought. 

I wiped away some of my tears. William just got himself, somewhat together and walked out the door. More than likely to talk to the elders about this. 

"Why are you and father crying?" Sean asked. 

"Come here," I hiccuped. I out stretched my arms to Sean, who just followed my instructions. 

I explained to Sean delicately the problem William and I are currently having. Sean just sat there and didn't ask any questions, probably worried about me crying all over him.
