felt myself becoming sad again,but I stopped myself.We don't talk until we get to the restaurant.
It was a cute quiet dinner and I was glad it was only old people."What are you gonna get princess"He asks."I don't know probably some toast and an egg"I shrug."That's it?Yeah no I'm not gonna have my perfect little mate starving"He says.
"It's fine I'm really not hungry"I respond back.I'm not little,or perfect how am I supposed to protect a whole entire pack when I couldn't even protect my own child.
My insecurities quickly creeped in.
"Cam,you are perfect and an angel and I love you with all of my heart and every single bone in my body loves you okay?Do you understand,us losing our baby wasn't your fault,it wasn't our fault.Nobody knew she was coming back and I'm so sorry,I'm sorry that I've caused so much unhappiness in your life but I'm trying to be a better guy,a better man for you and for...Camilla look at me"I had my head down with my eyes watering."You need to eat and be Luna and we need to find some way to get over this"
"Ok"Is the only thing I could mutter up."I love you too"
"Come here"I quickly move over to his side of the booth and snuggle into his side letting my tears fall.I buried my head in his shoulder.
"Umm,do you guys know what you want to order?"The waitress asks."Yes can one coffee black,one apple juice and one strawberry milkshake.And I'll have the number seven"Zander orders.
"How did you want your eggs"
"Scrambled,and wheat toast"
"And for you ma'am?"The waitress sounded unsure as to talk to the crying girl or just ignore her.
"She will have number 12 with hot sauce,hash browns and fruit,thank you"he hands her the menus without effort and holds me to him even tighter.
"Strawberry?"I croak not realizing how dry my voice was."I thought you liked chocolate"
"That's for you"
"Why did you order me so much food?"I wanted to thank him and say that I'm sorry,or that I don't mean to be such a burden,or that I'm sorry he got me as a mate,but I didn't.
"Here's your drinks,the milkshake will be right out"she sets the apple juice down and the coffee.I was glad she didn't try flirting with Zander or I would have most likely killed her.
"Nash?"I sat up quickly and stared him in the eyes which we're probably puffy and red.He looked concerned,and then scowled at the sight of Zander.
I quickly stood up and hugged him quick."Whats wrong"is the first thing he says."What,uh nothing just you know girl problems"I smile sheepishly,while sniffling my nose.
"Cami,stop just tell me"this was kind of the most awkward thing ever,Zander sitting at a booth just watching us talk and us talking about my feelings,it was just uncomfortable.He didn't seem genuinely concerned,just more of a prying knowledge.But he never was really good at showing emotion."Stay out of it"he Zander growls.
"My ex and my mate,could this be anymore weird"I mumble.
"Camilla come sit down"Zander all but commands me."Nash do you want to eat with us"I look back at Zander to see him fluming."Sure"he looks around and sits down.
I sat down next to Zander and he tried to pull me closer to him but I gave him a stern look which he didn't like.Nash sat across from us just staring,kind of like he was admiring a masterpiece.
"Do you want me to go get the waiter"I say trying to start up any kind of conversation."No I'll just wait till she gets back"
"So Nash how's the old pack been doing"
"Uhh good mostly,we did have a child go missing it was from a rogue asking for ransom but we found him.And your parents talk about you all the time,they really do miss you.I think everyone at the pack misses you....I know I sure do."
"I'm sorry,it sucks having to be away from you guys but I have a mate now,and I can't just choose to leave him"I felt Zander tense up at that,apparently finally listening to the conversation."You did say that you we're going to reject him"Nash slips out,it's not like it's some huge secret but Zander never knew that I was going to reject him,of course that was before we had gone through all this stuff,now I can't imagine my life without him.Melanie whimpers.
Zander growls before smashing my lips against his for a brief second."No.I won't accept it,I don't care"he growls loudly."W-what I-is it because of the baby o-or what"His voice falters.
