But I'm not that person anymore and that's because I found you. I found the one person that saved me". "You'd have really mated with her for the sake of the pack? To be unhappy for the rest of your life?".
"The packs my family Leah".
"I'm your family".
"Before you baby. I had nothing to lose. I'd have mated with Jessica for the pack, but we'd have never been mates".

"She's only a problem if we make her a problem. Her and her family aren't welchere Leah and they are aware of that". "And that'll stop her?".
"If she knows what's good for her, she'll never cback here again".
I hoped her was right. I wasn't afraid of Jessica but right now I was vulnerable. There was more thanto think about and I'll be damned if I let her hurt my child.
"I think I'm going to go to bed". I'd heard enough about Jessica for one night.
"Are we okay?". He asked.
"Always". I smiled.
He toldthe truth I couldn't be angry with him for that. I now knew the situation he was put in back then. But that was his past andand our baby were his future. "I love you Leah".
"I love you too. Are you coming to bed?".
"Yeah, babe I'm just going to lock up first".

I woke up in the sposition I fell asleep in. It was still dark outside, so I knew it was early. Slipping out of Jake's embrace I grabbed my dressing gown and as quietly as I could I headed downstairs.
Making myself stea I went about cleaning the kitchen and putting away the dishes I wanted to go for a run today or at least a light jog. I wanted to feel the wind on my face and the adrenaline pumping through my veins.
I used to use running as a coping mechanism. A way to release my stress or anxiety but now, today!! just wanted to know, run for the sake of it. I took my mug of tea and a blanket from the back of the couch and went outside to watch the sunrise.
I swear there was nothing better although watching it by the beach will always be my favourite wrapped the blanket around my shoulders and took a seat. I loved early mornings, I loved how peaceful it was before the el chaos of another day started.
