Chapter 58
Previously
An hour later, when I couldn't fall asleep, I decided to get up and go into Shawn's room. I crawled under the covers and closed my eyes. Two big arms grab my waist and press me against his chest.
~Good night my love.
-Good night Shawn.
I close my eyes and fall straight to sleep.
Present
When I wake up, I still have Shawn's arms around my hips.
-Good morning sweetheart.
I smile.
~Good morning, did you sleep well?
-How about you?
I've never slept so well as the last time we slept in the same bed, which was three years ago. He smiles and places a line of kisses on my neck.
I'd love to show everyone that you're mine,” he growls.
I stiffen.
-But I won't, I'll do this instead.
He sucks the skin off my neck and leaves a purple trail, looks at his handiwork and smiles, proud of himself. I press myself against his chest and inhale his scent.
-Do you want to go and eat?
I'nod and just as 'm about to stand up, Shawn grabs me and takes me like a princess. -Shawn!
He cuts me off and kisses me.
I love you, he says.
I kiss him on the cheek, on the forehead, on the nose and finally on the mouth.
-I love you too.
He smiles and we reach the bottom.
-What would you like to eat?
~Go and sit down, I'll make lunch.
-Butl...
-No buts! Go and sit down!
He grumbles, but complies. I make pancakes with a fruit salad and prepare the orange juice. I take them to my love and wait to see his reaction.
-It's delicious!
I laugh and we finish eating.
-Shawn?
-Yes, sweetheart?
-Can we go for a run?
-No, we can't.
-No, please! My beloved!
He grunts.
-He grunts.
I20 over to him and sit on his lap, put my head in his neck and kiss him.
-I said no, Ana.
I continue my kisses up to his ear and nibble a little.
-Please, Ana...
He turns his head and kisses me passionately.
~He turns his head and kisses me passionately.
Ijump off his lap and do a victory dance.
Yes!
-On one condition.
I gasp.
-And that is?
-We let our wolves take control.
That's fine with me, can we go? I say excitedly.
He blows.
-Come on.
We go outside and transform.
shall we go for a run?
-I'd love to.
We get into position and set off, Sulivan has won.
-lwant a kiss!
Analie comes over and licks his nose, we change back, both naked. Shawn approaches. “You're beautiful.
I blush when we hear a noise, I turn round and Shawn puts me behind him, he's showing his teeth. A little cub comes out of the bushes and shows Shawn his teeth, he growls and Shawn growls some more. I put my hand on Shawn's shoulder and approach the cub. When he meets my eyes, he stops growling at Shawn and I see the sadness in his eyes. Isee flames and hear several screams, I see a bloodbath, heads and bodies lying all over the ground. I look at the cub and he nods, comes over to me, I transform and he comes and hides in my fur. ~Could you change back?
“I can't”
I smile tenderly at him.
~'m sure you'll be able to, just concentrate on my voice and think of something nice...
He changes back into a little boy of about a year old.
-How is that possible?
The little boy clings to me and I take him in my arms, he's frozen like an icicle. I go into the house and run a nice hot bath. I put him in it and go in too.
-How can you talk?
“Only by telepathy, I had to take control to make him survive. I had no choice”
“I saw everything that happened...”
“I showed them to you so you could see what happened.”
“What's your name?”
“His name is Aurian”
“You should leave and wait before coming back, otherwise you know what can happen if you take possession of his body tog young.”
“Yes I know, you'll take good care of him won't you Anaéve?”
“How do you know my name?”
“I'm an old wolf, if you can call me that, I knew your grandmother.”
“All right, don't worry, I'l take good care of him."
Yes!
-On one condition.
I gasp.
“Thanks and by the way, I'm not his wolf, I was just sent to help him survive.
“Okay, thanks for saving him."
“Bye
I pull the little one out of the water and wrap him in a towel, pick him up and head for my room. -Shawn?
He doesn't answer, 50 I go into his office and find him staring at his papers.
-Shawn?
He raises his head and grunts.
-What's the matter? I asked.
“You've got his smell all over you.
~Shawn's a baby!
-I know, what do you want?
It's so cold.
-Don'tyou have nappies and baby clothes?
-Do I look like I have all that stuff at home? What did you think? That I was a father or that I had a daycare centre at home? Watch your voice, I'm not one of your sluts or submissives!
He bellows.
-I don't want to argue with you, I'm going to my parents’ with the little one.
-Ana...
I turn my head.
I want Valdir back.
-Are you going to kill his child or have you changed your mind?
He growls.
-Be careful Ana, you're playing with fire.
~'m going to ask him to come back with his wife, but you have to promise me you won't do anything to hurt him or his child. -Okay, and you promise to come back?
Yes, Shawn, I'm just going to my parents’ house to get some things for Aurian.
~I mean come back without the kid.
stiffen and pull him even closer to me.
-No, Aurian is my child.
~No, he's not your child, he's a cub from who knows who.
-I'm not coming back without Aurian.
-Ana...
-Stop it, Shawn, I want Aurian with us until we find her parents.
-What if they're dead?
-Please, Shawn, we can't just leave her! She's just a baby.
-Who's going to cause us trouble.
-And you're going to say the same thing when I'm pregnant?
He's stopping what he was doing.
-Do you want children? Do you want children with me?
That's not the question.
-Answer me Ana!
“Yes, yes I do, but if you reject Aurian, you'll never have children, at least not from me.
He murmurs.
-He murmurs.
