I woke up to hearing soft crying of a little kid. I opened my eyes ad groaned at the bright light. My eyes slowly adjusted to the light and I turned to see Luna curled up in a ball next to me softly crying. I sighed and pulled her to me in a hug and brushed my hand in her hair repeatedly. " Shhh it's okay baby girl. Momma's here. Calm down." I kissed her head and just held her to me.
Someone cleared their throat in the room. I looked up from my angel in my arms. "Hey Axel." He just smiled at us and walked over and hugged both Luna and I softly. "How do you feel baby girl?" I sighed "Well for just saving my daughters life and getting shot in the thigh pretty good hahaha" In all truth I was feeling pretty good. I guess I was out for awhile because my thigh is almost fully healed.
I looked to Luna and noticed she had fallen asleep already. While still looking at her I asked Axel a question. "Hey Axel? How long have I been out? And how long has Luna been here with me?" I looked up to see his nervous expression. "Axel.... Just tell me before I get annoyed with you." I growled out at him. He just sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "You've been out for five days. And Luna." He looked her way with sad eyes. "Luna has been here for four days. We made sure she ate and all but she refused to leave your side till you woke up."
I felt tears in my eyes. I made my baby worry so much she wouldn't leave my side. I ran a hand over my face and groaned. "Axel can you pick Luna up so I can get changed and we can go home?" He just nodded and walked over to her and picked her up. Cradling her to his chest while she clung to his neck. I pulled my legs over the hospital bed and slowly stood up. I wobbled a bit and put my hand on the wall to steady myself.
I walked to the bathroom in the room grabbing my blue duffel bag on the way. I changed into my clothes and walked out into the room. (Outfit on the side.) I walked over to Axel and reached my arms out indicating him to hand Luna to me. He handed her over to me and I carried her wither her arms around my neck and legs around my waist. Axel signed all the release papers for me to be able to leave the hospital. After everything was signed we walked to Axels truck.
I got in passenger seat with Luna still in my arms and put the buckle on around us. Axel got into the drivers side and started the truck and off we go to the pack house. The whole ride home was quiet and no one spoke a single word. When he parked the truck I slowly unbuckled the seat belt and got out carefully trying not to wake Luna in the process. Axel grabbed my bag for me out of the back and walked up to the front door and held it open for us. I smiled at him and whispered thanks. He smiled and said no problem. We all walked in to see a massive amount of people from both packs standing in front of us.
I felt the need to protect my baby girl for some reason. Stormy felt really on edge making me feel the same way. Every time someone stepped closer to us I'd growl loudly and take a step back. Everyone looked at me with shock. I even growled at my own dad and family. Axel was no threat to me because I have been near him since I woke up. But I couldn't help but feel threatened for some reason. I heard my name in a low whisper and snapped my head to that person. Now this chick has some guts to come anywhere near me at all. "Casandra, Calm down." Kara spoke slowly walking towards me. I let out a menacing growl towards her, warning her not to come any closer. She looked hurt, oh well I really don't care right now.
Carson walked forward from the crowd and both Stormy and I stopped growling. Every one looked between us with confused looks. So someone decided to step forward and I instantly snapped my head towards them and growled. Knowing my eyes turned black from the gasps around me I took Luna and ran upstairs. I walked down and up halls till I finally got to my room. Luna surprisingly was still sleeping soundly and I just smiled down at her.
I laid her down on my bed and pulled the covers over her tiny body and kissed her forehead before standing up. I walked over to my closet and turned the light on inside. I walked in and shut the door behind me sliding down it. I pulled my knees to my chest and out me head in my hands and let all of my held up emotions out. I heard a knock on the closet door."Ugh, Go away." The knocking just continued. I moved away from the door and curled up in a ball in the middle of the floor. Yes I have a big closet. I heard the door open and listened to the footsteps come closer to me. Next thing I know I was being picked up and cradled to a hard chest.
I felt tingles run all through my body and relaxed a little. "Carson what do you want." "Shhhh just let it all out baby girl. Let it out don't hold back anymore." And that I did. I let out all my emotions I bottled up over the past few years out. I really didn't won't to move from our position because I knew when we left this room it would go back to the way it used to. Pretending not to be mates and that hurts to even think about it. But there is nothing I can do about it though. So I got up wiped off my face and walked out of the closet heading towards the bed.
I was about to laid down next to my sleeping baby Luna when two muscular arms wrap themselves around my waist. Sighing I turned around in the arms to face Carson. "What Carson." I had a blank look on my face because I had no clue what emotions to feel or express at the moment. "Cassandra please just listen to me." I chuckled at his choice of words. "I have no choice to listen because you wont let go of my waist." He just laughed at that comment. "Look Cassandra. I get it you are pissed at me for not fully excepting you and choosing Kara over you." I cringed at that and he sent me an apoligetic look. " But please can we start over? Even if it's just as friends. Please?"
I just sighed and groaned in frustration running my hand through my hair. "Whatever. Sure I guess." He pressed me tighter to his body hugging me. I heard a shuffling on the bed and froze.
"Mommy?" I turned my head slightly and saw a sleepy Luna rubbing her eyes and stretching. I broke out of Carson's grasp and walked over to her sleepy figure. I crawled in bed cradling her close to me singing her to sleep with the song Long Way Home. Carson crawled in next to her and stared at her adoringly. She soon fell asleep in our arms and Carson and I did the same. Damn what a day.
