Broken & Rejected (Werewolf Romance)

7.

Kieran stood there, in front of me. The shock of what I had previously said was written all over his face. The only comforting thing was that he still had his arms wrapped around me. 

"Felicity, you need time to consider my offer, don't just rush to answer me or feel pressured" Kieran said looking deeply into my eyes. 

"I'm not rushing my decision or feeling pressured. I'm sick and tired of feeling broken, upset, hurt plus other horrible emotions when I think of Jamie. When I'm with you I feel.... I don't know" I paused for a moment to think.

"Different" I finally said

"A good different or a bad different?" Kieran asked curiously

"Good, I mean I don't feel like I'm in any kind of danger here. Technically I was a rogue when you found me, yet you still brought me here knowing I wasn't a threat to you or your pack" I explained. 

I looked at Kieran and saw a faint smile appear on his soft pink lips. 

"What? Did I say something funny?" I asked him confused

"Well, you are correct, about being a rogue I mean, you did secretly leave your pack, which was understandable given the circumstances, but you were also right about what you said about not being a threat" Kieran said.

"Look, it's late just now let's get some sleep and we will talk about this properly tomorrow" Kieran added.

Normally I would protest and put up a fight, but I was tired, and Kieran was right, it was getting late. I nodded and got into Kieran's bed. It was so much more comfortable than the bed down in the infirmary. I got comfy and lay on my side facing towards Kieran. 

"Comfy and cosy enough there?" Kieran asked with a smile

"Hmm this definitely does beat the infirmary bed" I joked

"You can move in closer you know" Kieran said. 

I stayed where I was wondering if I should move closer to Kieran, however, the option was taken from me when I felt Kieran's strong arms wrap around me and pull me closer to him. Kieran began to rub circles on my back which did help me to relax and drift off to sleep. 

I woke up next morning, but Kieran was gone, I could hear the water running in the shower coming from the ensuite in Kieran's room. I looked at the clock but saw that it was still early. I saw Kieran's t shirt on the bed, I quickly grabbed it and held it close to me for comfort. I closed my eyes wanting to fall asleep. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't seem to fall back asleep, so I just stayed where I was under the covers. The water switched off about fifteen or twenty minutes later and Kieran walked out the ensuite and back into his room. I opened my eyes to look over but was shocked. Kieran only had a bath towel wrapped around his waist. The water was still dripped down his body. 

"Enjoying the view there?" Kieran asked without looking at me, but I could tell he had his trademark smirk on as he asked that.

"There isn't really much to look at out there it's all trees" I said tearing my gaze off Kieran.

"Funny. We both know I wasn't talking about outside; I was talking about the view inside" Kieran said looking at me.

I went all quiet suddenly feeling extremely embarrassed and shy. 

"Did you sleep well?" Kieran asked as he walked over towards me.

"I did, your bed is much more comfortable to sleep in compared to the bed downstairs in the infirmary. Not that I want to sound ungrateful to you or Dr Wilson" I said.

Kieran laughed before he went off to get dressed. I still didn't have any clothes of my own here and I didn't want to keep borrowing clothes from the other girls or females here. Nothing against them it's just I preferred having my own clothes.
