Pulling my shoes on I grabbed my jacket and put it on. I don't know why but I felt the need to go over to her house. I couldn't settle until I went through with it.
Being as quiet as I could I closed the front door behind me. I pulled my jacket tight across my body and hurried off down the street.
Reaching her house I don't know how long I stood there staring at it. What would happen to it now she wasn't here? Or did she have a plan for that? Sighing I jumped when I heard his voice.
"Bear?".
Carter and Rocco approached me.
"Night tpatrol?". I asked.

I shrugged because I wasn't sure why I was here. I didn't want to go inside. "I take it you heard the news?". I asked.
"I'm sorry Leah. I know how close you and gran were".
That's it, that's all he had to say? "We were more than close". I whispered.
"Does Jake know you're out?". Rocco asked.
"Yes Rocco, Jake knows I'm out here alone at". I glanced at my phone. "2 o'clock in the morning". I rolled my eyes.
"Sarcasm". He bumped my shoulder with his.
"Stupid question if you ask me".
"Let us walk you hbefore we get back to our patrol". Carter placed his hand on my shoulder. "You know he'll think the worst if he wakes up and you're not there".
He was right and dealing with a pissed off Alpha is something I'd rather avoid. "I can't wrap my head around this Carter. I don't understand it".
"I know Bear. Let's get you hbefore the weather turns".
We walked in silence but I could tell both of them were still very much alert. Every little noise had them looking around us. Reaching my house I smiled at them both. "Thanks".
"Try and get ssleep". He kissed the top of my head. "I'll cby and see you later on today".

Feeling him get back into bed I turned so I was facing him. "I'm exhausted". I whispered.
"Chere".
Laying my head against his chest I listened to the steady pace of his heartbeat. This was my comfort zonę, my comfort blanket.
Regardless of how I was feeling he always made it better. "Rough few days for you baby". He wasn't wrong there. My dad showing up and now having to process that my gran had left town. I tried my hardest not to think about the reasons as to why she left.
"I think I'm the reason she left".
"We don't know that Leah and until we find out if she's left for good try not jump to conclusions".
"She's left for good. She wouldn't have left the note if she wasn't". I lifted my head from his chest. "I'm going to get up. I can't sleep".
"Babe it's 4am. If you can't sleep at least stay in bed".
