Chapter 18: Sneaking out

I went towards the bathroom with a smile on my face but it soon faded when I heard her saying," Willa you are very wild in bed."

"Willa, you know you are very wild in bed. Kicking and punching me."

I turned to her with tears threatening to fall. When she saw my years she came to me and hugged my legs.

"I am sorry. I didn't know that you will cry," she said in her innocent voice. I kneel to her height and said," I'm not crying. Something went in my eyes." She kissed my cheeks and rubbed the tears that had fallen. "You are very cute and beautiful," she said. I kissed the inside of her palms.

"Thanks," I said.

"Laura, are you awake?" Siza asked with a knock.

"Yes," she shouted and went to the door and tried to reach the lock. I watched her trying her hard to reach the lock but couldn't due to her height. I went and opened the door for her.

"I hope she didn't trouble you," Siza said after taking Laura in her arms.

"No, she didn't," I said.

It has been three days since Aanav went to the war and these three days has been hell as well as heaven. He'll because I miss Aanav terribly. I miss the way he cooks. I miss the way we watch movies. I miss the way we cuddle. I miss the way he looks at me.

In these three days, I hardly see Zara. She is always busy in Aakav's office. Ivy and I help in the packhouse.

These three days have been heaven because of Laura. I have learned that Siza is not her real mother nor her stepmother. She is Laura's aunt. Laura's real parents died when she was one year old. Siza and her make, Max, took the responsibility of her. And she calls Siza her mother and Max her father and their son, her brother. His name is not Jerk, it's Zack.

Today I stepped in our room and the memories of us together made me cry. I cried for at least one hour. After crying, I   had made up my mind to go to the battleground to see Aanav. I took the wolfsbane for safety. I went down and sneaked out of the house. Then I started running towards the border where the fight is going on and it was one of the worst decision of my life. Because wherever you look there were blood and wolves who's fur is also covered in blood.

I felt the need to go back but my body was not responding. Then out of nowhere, I saw a wolf coming towards me. I stood still in my place like a statue. It came and pushed my leg with a force which resulted in me falling on the ground on my back. It upheld his law and was about to do God knows what when another wolf pushed it off me. But it's paw scratched the skin on my neck. I saw Aakav coming towards me. He lifted me and took me to a safe place.

"What are you doing here?" He asked with anger blazing in his eyes.

"I came to..." I started but Aanav cut me off.

"Willa are you okay? Shit! Your neck," he said, eyes breaking with tears.

"I am fine," I tried to assure him. Then I noticed that his face and chest was filled with marks. Some marks were old and were healing while others were fresh.

"How dare you step out of the house?" Aakav asked in an angry tone. I went behind Aanav.

"Aakav let it go," Aanav said sending my fear.

"What do you mean by let it go? What would happen if the wolf would have killed her? Thank God we have smelt her or else..." He looked at me with anger, concern and tears.

"I'm sorry," I said looking at the ground.

"Willa why can't you understand your safety is important?" He asked.
