Anaiah's POV
I raised my hands to touch him but he revolted me, the room stayed silent and tears welled in my eyes, I inhaled and realized, I was still wearing Erickson's coat. I removed it and threw it at a distance from me and my mate glared at it. Tears ran down my face and his features soften, probably from seeing me cry.
"Don't growl at her like that, Leon, she's your mate!" Scolded Arya coming to me. My hands were shaking and I felt emotional, after what happened with the witch all I wanted to do was come back and let my mate hold me, and comfort me. I wiped my tears and speak with difficulty;
"Alpha Erickson came to the new white moon pack to bring some supplies and we saw each other, it was raining heavily and that's how he gave me his coat,"
"Anaiah, I didn't mean to -" I only raised my hand to stop him.
"Excuse me, I have a headache, I'll go to rest,"
I turned on my heel and went upstairs. I went to the shower and opened the hot water, forgetting to remove my clothes, I stood there for a long time until I felt huge arms wrapped around me. My mate's scent filled my nostrils and tears poured out of my eyes. He came in front of me to hug me and I wrapped my arms around me
"Baby, are you alright?" He asked, I didn't answer and he didn't ask again, just holding me as long as I want. He wraps a huge white towel around me and guides me to the walk-in closet, I sit on my vanity table as he searches for clothes for me. He removes my clothes and gives me warm pajamas. His kindness made me smile.
After changing, we go to the bedroom, lying on the bed and he is holding me close to him
"I'm sorry for reacting the way I did. I should tame my anger,"
"It's alright Leondre, don't just respond without understanding the reason," I sigh. He holds me tighter and kisses my hair,
"Hypothetically speaking, If I got pregnant is that how you'll react?"
His body goes rigid.
"You are not pregnant, and besides, you are on a pill, right?" I don't answer, just close my eyes and lean closer to his warmness.
The next day, Leon took me to the countryside 2 hours from home for a picnic. He planned everything well. On the soft green grass was a mat with a basket of food and champagne. I sat down and sighed, and he gave me a sandwich and after we ate, he poured the champagne into two glasses, I was questioning drinking in my condition but did, just one glass I told myself, I laid my head on his lap and he stroked my hair as we talked about life. Everything that happened when we met and to the future. Leondre wants to show me the world, he has all these huge plans for us and none of which involves kids, my heart spewed badly at that. I felt like I'd be disappointing him for having this baby. I absentmindedly touch my belly, looking in the distance.
"What about you, which places do you want to see?" He asks. I've never left the supernatural realm.
"Greece, I heard it's nice," I tell him and he nods.
"We shall go there when all this chaos is over. What else,"
"Everywhere," I shrugged. He bends down and kisses my lips, I raise my arm to caress his stubble beard with my fingers.
"I'd go anywhere as long as you're there with me, Leon," He kisses the hand that was caressing him and I smile. We discussed a while longer until I changed the topic.
