A rogue's cry

Chapter 12

I pulled my hands away from his and looked up at him. Not wanting to believe what I hear. Damian looked at my hands and tried to grab them again. I pulled my hands farther away from his.

"Why?" I asked. "Why are you leaving me? Am I not good enough? Am I to much for you to handle or something? Cause I can change. I will change to be with you. Damian, You are my world and I can't live without you. Please tell me why" I pleaded looking at him threw my watery eyes.

He grabbed my hands and would let them go. He pulled me into his lap. I laid my head on his chest.

"I'm not leaving you. I'm leaving for an Alpha meeting" He said. I looked up at him and smiled. He kissed my nose and I giggled and layed my head back on his chest. I listened to the steady beat of his heart.

"When are you leaving?" I asked.

"Tomorrow morning"

"How long will you be gone?" I asked again.

"Only 3 days" He said holding me tighter.

"Only" I whispered.

"I know, I'll have Eric or someone watch over you and can I ask you a favor?" He asked. I nodded and played with his fingers.

"Can you watch Rose for me?" I smiled and kissed him.

"Of course" He smiled and layed me down on the rock hovering over me. He kept his weight off me by his arms on the sides of me. I branch snapped in the distance. I shot up and stood in front of Damian.

"Laila" He laughed standing next to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. "It's my pack making their runs" I sighed in relief.

"I'm sorry" I apologized.

"It's ok, What will it take for you to believe me that nothing will happen when I'm with you?" He asked. I shurgged my shoulders and leaned back on him. Damian and I started falling backwards. A scream escaped my lips. We splashed into the water. I came up and looked for Damian.

"Damian?" I asked. I looked around for him. I felt his hands slowly slid up my legs and end at my waist. His head popped up in front of mine. He smiled. "You did that on purpose" he smiled and kissed me. Water from his lips fell into my mouth. I smiled and he pulled away. The water was warm and comfortable. I slipped under the water. It was the first time I actually got to enjoy being in the water. I usually just have to bathe in it and get out.

"Ready?" He asked. I nodded and we both swam to the rock. He lifted himself up first. He grabbed my awaiting hands and pulled me up with ease. The wind has picked up and it made me shiver in my wet clothes. "Let's head back" he said kissing my head. I nodded and he wrapped his arms around me, keeping me warm.

By the time we made it back to the house it was already dinner time. I changed my clothes into pj shorts and a t-shirt. I walked downstairs and started making pasta for everyone. I made Damian go to the store and buy some garlic bread to go with the pasta. I stirred the pasta when I heard the front door shut. I looked over when Damian walked into the room. He threw the garlic bread on the island and came over and sat on the counter next to me. I looked up at him and turned the heat on low.

I grabbed a pan and opened the garlic bread and put it on the pan. I threw the wrapper at Damian, which he caught and put the pan in the oven. I sighed and leaned against the counter near his legs.

"Tired?" he asked. I nodded. He hopped down front the counter and wrapped his arms around me. I laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes. He set his head on top of mine. He rocked us. I wanted to just sleep in his arms all night. Damian let go of me and I opened my eyes. He started stirring the pasta.

"Thanks" I mumbled. He smiled and kissed my head. I grabbed out a drainer and put it in the sink. I bumped Damian out of the way and smiled at him. I turned the stove off and took it and dumped it into the sink. I made the pasta and put in on plates. I grabbed a towel and opened the oven. I grabbed out the garlic bread. The pan was touching my hand.

"Owch!" I dropped the garlic bread. Thought Damian caught it and threw the hot pan on the stove. My hand was red and swollen. "Damian" I whispered. I took his hands in mine and looked at the blistering reddness. I grabbed an ice pack and held it in his hands.

"I'm fine Laila" He said putting the ice pack in my hands.

"I'm fine Damian" I winked and put the ice pack in his hands and grabbed pieces of the bread and put it on the plates. Everyone came in and grabbed their plates. I grabbed mine and sat at the island and ate. I was quick at eat because I wanted to sleep. When I was done Damian took my spot and started eating. "I'm going up to bed" I kissed Damian and walked upstairs.

'I'll be there in a minute' He said threw our mind link. I smiled and walked up the stairs. I walked down the hallway and to our bedroom. I opened it and closed it behind me. I turned on our lights. I stepped into the bathroom and pulled my hair up into a messy bun. I washed off my make up. I walked over to the bed and laid down in the darkness. I wanted to fall asleep but I wanted to say goodnight to Damian first.

Our door opened and the light poured into the room.

"Laila?" Damian asked.

"Hmm?" I asked. He didn't respond but I heard him taking off his clothes in the closet. He shut the door and climbed into bed next to me. I rolled over and laid on his chest. His hand stroked my back.

"I thought you would be sleeping" He whispered

"I wanted to say goodnight before I did" I answered. He kissed my head.

"Goodnight Laila"

"Goodnight Damian. Wake me up before you leave?" I asked

"It's going to be very early..." He started, I cut him off

"Please? I don't care how early"

"Ok Angel" He kissed me sweetly and I closed my eyes. Drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
