Chapter 16 - Chapter 13. The Walls I Built

"She built walls around her heart because she was protecting the most tender part of herself" Janani 

(Aislinn's Wilds Point of View) 

I slowly pulled my eyes apart as I whimpered in pain as I moved. The last thing I remember was falling asleep under the tree now I wake up in the same bed that I was in when that dickhead caused me to hit my head. I blinked my eyes as the sun shined down over my body. I was wearing a white silk gown and my skin was cleaned. Something felt heavy in my hand and I looked down at it. His hand held mine protectively and in a weird sense it felt right.

What the Hell Aislinn he hurt you and you think him holding your hand feels nice? I mentally smacked myself as I go to pull away from his hand but his grip only got tighter. I traveled my eyes up his arm to his shoulder and than to his sleeping face. When he isn't being a complete dickhead he is rather cute and all mine... Why the hell was I thinking about this man in that way. He has done nothing but hurt me and rip me away from my family. But here we are liking the big bad alpha himself. 

I shook away my thoughts and pushed myself up into a sitting position feeling the need to go pee. I swing my legs over the edge and went to push myself up to stand when Mr. Overprotective was up and sitting me right back down again.

I groaned and said "Look you might have control over where i go and who I can and cannot see but you don't have control over my bladder. So if you can back your wolf ass down and let me go pee that would be amazing." He gently let go of my hand and helped me stand up. I slowly made my way over to the bathroom and opened the door and closed it when I walked in. I did my business and washed my hands before walking back out. Cain stood right there looking out the window. I looked down and said softly "I'm sorry for what I said about you..."

He turned and looked over at me and shakes his head waving off my apologize. I groaned and sat back down on the bed looking at him. It was awkward silence for a while until he broke it by saying "I'm the one needing to be sorry, I broke the one thing that I wasn't suppose to. I hurt you and I don't blame you for being mad at me or even hating me." 

I looked at him, he was sincere with his apologize but why? I'm suppose to just be the woman that lays down and takes his dick whenever he decides that he needs laid. I'm just the woman that suppose to be the barer of his offspring. I don't mean anything to him and I never will.

As my thoughts ran on Cain stopped them by saying " don't you dare think like that. None of that is true, You mean the entire world to me. If I lost you I wouldn't know what to do. Your not any of those things and don't ever think that you are." How did he know what I was thinking? I looked at him and rolled my eyes and said "its kinda hard not to think those things, you really haven't shown me that you care about me or even have the slightest bit of love for me. You treat me like I'm just another member of your pack or that I'm just another side piece you can get." I looked down sadly at the floor and Cain squatted down in front of me and said "I'm sorry that I haven't been the best mate, or even been a mate at all. I'm new to this having a mate and I am so sorry that I treated you so poorly. I will try my best to be the best mate you deserve if you choose to stay." I looked at him and saw a flash of pure sadness in his eyes as he finished his sentence.

Was he actually going to give me the choice to leave or stay? I could go back and see my family and live a normal life. But I remembered being told a little bit about what happens if a wolf is away from their mates for too long. I don't wanna be the one that puts the great Alpha Cain Luciano Pierce in that position. I looked down softly and than at him and said "What would happen if I leave?" 

Sadness was writing all over his face and it filled his voice as he said "When you leave and your away for a while my wolf and I would be in sever pain. Eventually we will grow numb to that pain but slip into a deep depression letting all of our responsibilities go before finally losing in touch with our humanity. Our mates are special and keep us tied to our humanity side. Our mate keeps us sane and they are the only person that can calm us down when we are beyond pissed off." 

I looked down and sighed softly, If i were to leave he would suffer and the pack will fall apart. I couldn't be the one that causes that to happen, the pack would never forgive me, his parents would never forgive me, i would never forgive myself. I looked at him and took a shaky breath before grabbing his hand lightly into mine and looked down into his beautiful eyes. He looked into mine and than away almost as if he had came up with an answer before hearing me out. He got up and walked over to the door facing away from me. He nods his head and says " okay okay, I wouldn't want to stay with me eit-" I cut him off by saying "I'm not going anywhere."
