Crossing the Forbidden Border ✔

15| They like you

I'm woken up by a soft knock on my door, I stir in my bed until a second knock comes from the door. I wrap my arms around myself as I open the door to see William leaning against the door frame. 

"Good Morning" he moves aside to give me space to walk out. 

"Morning" I walk over to the kitchen and go straight to the coffee machine. I ask him if he wants one without turning around which he agrees to one. I finally turn around and he looks restless, to say the least, he has bags under his eyes. 

"Hey did you sleep okay?" It looked like he was zoning out until I spoke and his attention was now on me. 

"Huh... oh yeah... um, I did" I stare at him for a  moment unconvinced by his response but I let it go. I go over to him already feeling sparks from the close proximity. I move my head to the side motioning to the couch. 

"When did Melissa say we should go over there?" he looks down at his phone I see the screen and says 10:30. 

"She said at noon or earlier"

"Tell me about her" a smile comes upon his face. 

"Well she's my older sister not that there are more siblings it's just me and her, she's 27 and she lives here with her mate Rafael and their twins, Jacob and Toby. They've been visiting her mates family for a few months until yesterday when she came back" 

"How old are Jacob and Toby?" 

"They are 4 years old" the coffee machine beeps, I stand up going to the kitchen grabbing two mugs preparing them the way we both like them going back to the couch. 

"Can I ask you something?" William asks as soon as I sit down.

"Sure"

"Do you remember when you woke up in the infirmary and you said you were being chased, I never again who or what was chasing you that day could you tell me now?" I give him his mug, I had forgotten about that part. 

"Oh um sure but to be honest with you I don't know who was chasing me. One second I'm walking through the woods and then the next a man is running towards me so I ran without thinking and that's when I accidentally crossed the border and well you know the rest" I sigh and his eyes turn golden for a few seconds then they turn back to normal. I scoot closer to him taking his hand. 

"Hey don't worry I was okay he didn't get to me, nothing happened"

"Yeah maybe nothing happened with that man but you almost dying as soon as you got here... I can't get the image of you almost dying out of my head" his wolf surfaces once again and I frown.  

"you never told me that it bothered you" he sighs and smiles.

'Well I was being a jerk then so I couldn't really talk about what I felt with you and by the time we were at a point where I could tell you I messed up that time too" his eyes turn normal and frowns. 

"Okay then talk to me about it now, you never did tell me about that day from your eyes"

"I was at another pack at the time, my dad would never let me be the Alpha of the pack but he would let me do some of the duties for practice and experience. So the pack leaders and I had a meeting about our alliance, as I was heading back my wolf told me to hurry back, to the pack. I was confused as to why and he said 'hurry up she's in danger' I thought that the 'she' he was referring to was either my mom or my sister came home early and she was the one in danger but as I got closer to the pack I started smelling a cinnamon-like smell somehow I knew it was you, well you as my mate. 

Then I heard you scream and I felt my wolf surface and once again my wolf spoke and said 'hurry up they are going to kill her' so I hurried and screamed from across the field loud enough for them to hear me when I saw you looking down at the silver knife that was going into your chest above your heart. After you passed out I took you to the infirmary and I stayed as you were unconscious. I feared that the knife had gotten to your heart and you wouldn't wake up, I was so worried but I didn't know how to take care of you so I acted like a jerk also because I was afraid of putting myself out there for you to see, it was easiest for me that you hate me then love me"I stop moving in shock and his eyes widen as he realized what he just said and scratched the back of his neck. "Not that you love me now but I was just scared" I smile if only he knew.
