On and Off

Chapter 20

Jeremy’s POV

When Leah was cleared for me to see her, I picked her up bridal style and carried her back to our territory.

When we got back to the pack house I brought her into my office and laid her on the couch.  I had to take care of pack business and didn’t want her out of my sight.

I sat in my chair behind the big desk and looked at the papers lying in front of me.  All in all we lost 57 men and 249 are wounded.  My wounds had quickly healed, except for the bite wound on my shoulder blade; I will always have that scar because it was too deep to just disappear.  However, other wolves in the pack obviously weren’t as lucky.

“…What- wait-  how- why?”  Leah slightly say up on the couch.

I walked over to her and grabbed her hand.  I felt her hesitate, but she didn’t pull her hand away.  “Lay down, Sweetheart.  It’s okay, you’re home now.”  I kissed the top of her hand, allowing his lips to linger a second longer than necessary. 

“I have to file away some papers, then we can talk.”  I got up and continued properly filing the papers of the dead and wounded away.

I finished about an hour later.

I walked over to the couch and lifted Leah’s head as I sat down, putting it back down onto my lap.  “Leah, can we talk?” 

“I think we have to.”  She responded.

“I didn’t kiss her.  I did everything I could to push her away.  I couldn’t move.”  I looked down to her eyes that were filled with pain.  “When you ran, my wolf took control and sent her hurling across the room.  We went to find you, but you were gone by the time we got outside.”

I could tell that my mistake hurt her.  All you needed to be able to tell was the look in her eyes.  The look of pure torment and pain.

“I have been thinking of exiling her from the pack.”  I said truthfully.  It has been on my mind for quire some time.

“You have to be Alpha to do that.”  She pointed out, I couldn’t help it, I laughed.

“Leah, I am Alpha.  My father stepped down so I could go to war to get you back.”  I looked down at her and then stood up, getting down on one knee, “I’m sorry, Leah.  I’m sorry I hurt you, but will you let me try again?  Will you be my Luna and rule by my side?  Will you take me as you mate?” 

Leah’s POV

“…will you take me as your mate?”  What do I say?  He hurt me!  He caused me more pain than anyone!

But he is my mate.  I do love him and I believe him, that he didn’t kiss her.

I guess there is only one thing I can really do, “I will.”  I said sitting up and smiling.  He jumped up and kissed me.

“Thank you, Leah!  Thank you so much!  I won’t hurt you ever again.  I will do right by you FOREVER, from this point on.”  His eyes showed pride and strength from getting me by his side as he ruled over the pack.
