You are safe now

Chapter 19

My head was spinning, but  in a spin of joy.

Last night Daniel loved me like never before. His every kiss, every touch, it was all so different. He told me he loves me once more and I can't bring myself to get tired hearing those lovely words.

The morning he brought me breakfast in bed. He said he did it all on his own and I believed him when I saw the burnt toast. He pouted when I started laughing, but I kissed his beautiful, sculpture lips and a grin took the pouts place. I tried to make him talk about yesterday's events, but his mouth stayed shut. He told me not to worry about those problems and that everything was taken care of, but I just couldn't let it go, they kidnapped me, I want to know what happened to Stephanie and the King.

But Daniel wouldn't tell me. Later that morning I got down to the pack kitchen. "Good Morning Cathy, how are you feeling?" Daniel's mom asked me. I smiled kindly at her and replied, "I am feeling good thank you".

"Come join me, my dear" she says and I follow her out of the house.

The garden is full of flowers and green lilies everywhere. We begin talking about the pack, how I am dealing after my kidnapping, Daniel, everything... After an hour of pointless talking she asked me the question I believe she always wanted to ask. "What are you thinking to do with the King?" she asks. "I don't know" I reply, "Daniel still hasn't told me anything. Do you know anything?" I ask her.
"Just that there is a reason behind his motivation to help Stephanie and that the girl is well taken care of" she replies shortly.

"What are you two doing here?" Daniel asks us while coming closer to me and gives me a peck on the lips.

 "Just chatting" his mother replies.
"Why aren't you resting?" he asks me and I shrug .He shakes his head and sighs.
 "Let's get you back to bed." he says and pulls me in his arms, he nods at his mother and he carries me into the house and upstairs to our room.

"I want to talk to you" I say when he has laid me on the soft bed. "Talk me baby" he says with a smile.  He sits next to me and waits for me to begin. "Where is the King?" I ask,  he sighs, "Waiting for Jenni to get ready and follow him to the palace" he replies, "Is she going to go?" I ask, "Yes, she told you so yesterday while you were talking" he informs me and I nod remembering that Jenni indeed told me of her plans going to live with her mate. "And Stephanie?" I ask, "The King has arranged a wolf doctor to mend her mental illness, I know nothing more" he concludes. 

I sit there processing everything, "Why did he help her, besides the fact they are distant family?" I ask him, but he shrugs "Nobody know, maybe Jenni does, but she is not ready to tell us. She only told me that he has regretted it and he is happy to have a strong wolf pair leading one of the strongest packs in his kingdom" he says. 

"What's going to happen now?" I ask him, he sits closer to me and takes me into his arms. "Life will go on, finish school, college and then we'll see. We have a bright future ahead of us I believe" he says and kisses my head. 

"Yes, we do. Thank you, for everything, my life is better because of you" I whisper.

"You are safe now" he whispers back.

Later at night Daniel had organised another barbecue to celebrate our pack thriving, our mating and basically me being alive. People were dancing and singing, I was currently sitting between Jenni and Clair talking about Jenni's departure. She was ready to begin a  life with her mate and me and Clair couldn't be any happier for her.

"I am going to miss you" Jenni said and hugged us both, "We are too" Clair and I said at the same time. 

"We are going to call each other every day" I promise. 

We spend the rest of the hour talking about random stuff, until Cathy freezes a bit. She glances over at Daniel and nods her head. Then she whispers something to Jenni and they both look at me while smiling. "What?" I ask them, they shake their heads. "You are freaking me out" I say.

Jenni and Clair turn me around only to see Daniel kneeling in front of me and the pack house standing around us. God tell me he is not proposing. "What are you doing" I whisper-yell at him, "Its not what you think, relax" he chuckles.

"Cathy, I have loved you for what seems like a very long time. I want to rule with you, grow old with you, go on adventures with you.  But for now, I just wanted to ask you, will you be my Alpha Female?" he concludes. 

I laugh at him , relieved he is not proposing me and say a loud Yes on being his Apha Female, an equal ruler.

He laughs back at me and gathers me into his arms.

 My favourite place to be.
