I didn't believe it but said nothing. I went to take the seat next to him but ofcourse he had other ideas. He pulledonto his lap his arms circling my waist.
"Don't think for a second that I don't think you can handle yourself".
"Then why didn't you lethandle Jessica?".
"Because your wolf would have killed her".
I made a face. "I doubt that". I was barely a wolf. I couldn't do anything wolf related. I couldn't even shift when I wanted to.

There it was the question I always dread. Of course, I had I think about it all the time. I wanted to meet him, but it had to be on my terms, and I had to do it on my own. Wait, what did my dad have to do with this? "He can fill in the gaps Leah. He'll be able to tell you about your family and where you cfrom. All the questions can finally be answered".
"Oh yeah because I'm royalty". I rolled my eyes. "I'm tired can we go to bed?".
"You head up. I have somethings to do first". He placed a kiss on my forehead. "I love you".
"I love you too".
I was up at the crack of dawn. I felt good, energetic and ready for whatever the day was going to bring. For the first tin days, I felt like my old self. My heat finally over, I couldn't wait to go for a run.
I showered and changed into my shorts and a crop top. It was hot out today, even at this tI could feel how stuffy the air was. Jake was still sleeping, and I did my best not to wake him. I don't know what the cto bed last night.
With once last glance at him I closed the bedroom door and made my way downstairs. I don't know what it was, but I couldn't shake this happy feeling. For once I had no dread, no weight on my shoulders. I felt like I could breathe again. Not a care in the world and nothing to worry about.
It had been a long tsince I felt like this.
It was like a new beginning. The next chapter of my life about to start and I was excited for it. I went about making myself scoffee, I would wait until the sunrise before I went for my run.
I sat at the table thinking about last night. She got what she deserved. Jessica had been nothing but a pain in my ass since I got here. Finally, she was getting the punishment she deserved. I thought I would have felt sorry for her, but I didn't I was glad, happy that she was no longer part of our pack.
Karma had well and truly cback around and took a swipe at her. But until it was official, I still had doubt. Jessica was sneaky, fly even. She had an excuse for everything so I wouldn't put it past her to try and worm her way out of being thrown out. What about her parents? Would they be made to leave as well? Would they even want to stay after their daughter is banished? It was a question I would have to ask.

"You're up early". He walked the stairs his arms circling my waist when he reached me. "Going for a run?".
He looked exhausted which toldhe didn't get to bed till late. Probably dealing with the Jessica problem. "You look exhausted. Were you up all night?". He pulled back and rested his forehead against mine. "Go for your run and once you cback, I want to talk to you".
How could I go for a run after he says something like that? I wouldn't be congenitrate able to concentrate on anything else.
I had to know.
"About what?". My stomach churned. He better not have changed his mind. I want Jessica gone once and for all. I gave her plenty of chances, but she didn't stop. She wanted what I had, and she wasn't going to stop until she succeeded. It was only going to end one way and I for one wasn't going anywhere. "Go for your run and then we'll talk".
"No". I pulled back. "Tellwhat's going on and then I'll go for my run".
