“I fucked up and I’m sorry. I haven’t been the best boyfriend recently. In fact, I haven’t been the best at anything”.
“I don’t want it to be like this anymore Jake”.
“I promise it’ll be different. When you get back from your dads we’ll start over. I’ll teach you everything you need to know. We’ll go through the shift together. I’ll help you keep control”.
“Okay”. I wanted to say more but I didn’t want to keep going round in circles. He worries about me, and I understand that but I’m stronger than he thinks.
“Are we okay?”. He asked.
“Always”. I turned my head to the side so I could kiss his cheek. “Should we watch a movie?”.
“Sure, babe you pick something I’m just going to get washed up”. He kissed the top of my head. “I love you Leah and I hope you know how much”.
“I do”. I smiled. “And I love you too”.
He disappeared upstairs and I settled on the couch with a bag of chips and a mug of tea. I couldn’t decide what film to pick so I put on friends until he was finished.
I was scrolling through Facebook when there was a knock on the front door. I wasn’t expecting anyone but no doubt it was someone for Jake. Putting my tea down I went to answer it.
“Rocco?”. I frowned.
“He in sweetheart?”.
“Yeah, what’s going on?”.
“I just need to speak to him”.
“Okay”. I moved to the side so he could come inside. “Do you want something to drink?”.
“I’m good”. He smiled. “I haven’t seen you much. How you doing?”.
“I’m okay. How’s Reign?”. I hadn’t seen much of Rocco’s sister. I wasn’t sure if she still worked at the diner.
“She’s good. She’s got her first night patrol soon. That’s why I’m here”.
Reign was going to be patrolling?
“Isn’t she a little young?”.
A laugh fell from his lips. “Don’t let her hear you say that. She’s been dying to get out there and Jake has finally agreed to let her”.
“She’s been to a few training sessions. I think she’ll be good for the pack. Strong little wolf”. He chuckled.
“When do I get to come to the training sessions?”. I asked. “When will I get to patrol the territory?”.
“You’re pregnant Leah”.
“I don’t need to shift Jake. I can come and watch”.
“We’ll sort it once your back. Now what movie do you want to watch?”.
“None”. I grinned. “I’m ready for bed”.
“Then head up babe I won’t be long”.
“I was really hoping you’d be ready for bed too”.
It didn’t take long for him to take the hint. He lifted me into his arms and carried me upstairs to our bed.
We may have some issues to sort through and somethings to sort out but one things for sure. I loved him with everything I had.
