Its been a few days since we have properly spoken to each other, the odd head nod or yes/no really and I hate it so much. He has been planning and securing the pack lands making sure everything is safe and that no harm will come to me (and also Alexa I suppose). Speak of Alexa I've heard that she has been moved up into one of the spare rooms now.

Rafael has supposingly messed around with the room so that even if she wanted to communicate back to Aiden she wouldn't be able to but wouldn't that just prove how much all of this was a load of crock?

I'm going to have to make right with Rafael aren't I? After getting myself wash and dressed, ready for the day I go to his office which has now been turned back to normal everything that was flipped and destroyed has been righted and replaced. Wouldn't like to know how much that has cost. Thinking about it makes me shiver.

Finding Rafael sat at the deck typing away on the computer completely oblivious to me standing here. I can get a proper look at him and not in that kind of way, he looks tired. Shattered would be more the word for it, his hair is unkempt. I don't think he has slept the past couple of days, I know I struggled to.

Clearing my throat he turns to look at me gives me a quick glance over and then goes back to typing on his computer.

"Rafael we need to talk, get everything out in the open." I take a couple of steps towards his desk. Again he looks up at me and then back to the computer again.

"Not right now Liliana, I am making sure everything is in place in regards to some whackjob ex alpha possibly attacking. Oh and making sure 'your' baby has everything it needs" Ok that was uncalled for. That hurt quite a bit actually. How is this my fault?

"Rafael please." He looks up at me what I hope he will keep eye contact and not go back to the computer I really want to apologise for how I have been and how I acted.

"You've got 5 minutes." Taking a quick look at his watch and then looking back to me. Hey its better than ignoring me and going back to the computer. Right?

"I am so sorry Rafael, you need to believe that. This has all been too much and I never thought about how you felt in this situation. All I thought about was myself and that wasn't fair to you." I look him in the eyes making sure he can feel just how sorry I am about everything. He stands up and leads me to the sofa and we sit down together while he takes my hands in his.

"Your right you didn't think. Do you understand the sacrifices I have made for you, to help you? To be a father to another mans pup first than to my own? Do you understand how much that actually hurts me and my wolf. I am not blaming you before you get that thought into you head but I just think we have both taken each other for granted and not allowed ourselves the time to fully communicate about everything." Wow ok, I didn't know he was feeling like that. I might have reined it in a bit if I fully knew what was going on in his head.

"I truly mean it. I am sorry and I will be on my best behaviour as of now. From now on we talk to each other more and actually listen to each other." I squeeze his hands for reassurance. I hope we can move past this as I do have feelings for him. I never meant to be mean about the baby, pup whichever being all mine. It just scares me to think that something might happen.

"I know you are. If I say to you that you have nothing to worry about. I mean it. Noting will happen to you nor the pup. That is a promise. I will die before anything happens. Do you understand?" A few tears have formed in my eyes but I wont let them fall. I need to be strong so I nod my head and blink them back.

"It wont come to that, as soon as she is out and I have recovered I want you to mark me. Its time to see what these powers are all about and what it is that I can do to help you and this pack." I mean that too. I can't let anything happen to Rafael or our baby.

........
