is so cute. Can I hold him? Please.” Crystal looks at Caleb. When he nodded his head yes, Crystal gingerly took Louis out the baby carrier and carefully put him in my arms. Louis has his father’s hair, but Crystal’s hazel eyes. Louis mostly looks like Caleb. “He look so human and cute.”

“Well, that’s how it goes. We are born human until we decide when to stop aging.” Crystal said as she smooth Louis hair back.

“How do you stop aging?”

“By drinking blood.”

“Oh. Can you’ll start aging again?” Everyone suddenly look at Mrs. Knight.

She sighed. “Everyone says we can’t, but I found out that you can. You just need a witch to do it.” Mrs. Knight said.

“Have you done it?” I asked.

“Yea, but as soon as I turned 40, I decided to stop aging again.” Mrs. Knight said. I laugh.

“I guess you’re right.” I look back down at Louis. “He is so calm.”

“That mean he likes you.” Caleb said.

“Hey! How come when I hold him, he whine? I’m his aunt!” Gabriella said

“That’s because you almost drop him.” Crystal said. I gasp

“Really?” I asked

“I had a phone call. Geez.” Gabriella said

“Well, Louis is a sweetheart.” I said as I kiss him on the forehead as he yawn.

“We are glad you said that because we got some good news.” Crystal said

“What is it?” I asked

“Well… Caleb and I was discussing about who going to be Louis godmother and godfather.”

“Cool, who did you pick?” Crystal look at Caleb then look back at me and smile.

“We decided to pick Peter to be the godfather.”

“Oh. That’s cool. Who is Louis godmother?”

“We was wondering if you can be Louis godmother.” I look at Crystal in surprise.

“Me?”

“Yeah. Drake already told us that you are great with kids.”

“Drake?”

“Yea. Lea, you have did a lot for us. Your one of us now.” Tears fill my eyes.

“Are you sure? I will be going back home soon.”

“Then, we will come and visit or we will give you your own jet so you can fly for free anytime.”

I laugh. “Okay. I will love to be Louis godmother.

“Good, because we already put it on his birth certificate.” I smile and gave Louis back to Crystal.

“I think he poop his pants.”

“Aw. Not again. Caleb, change his diapers.”

“Why me?”

“Because I asked you last time, but you made me do it. Now it is your turn.” Crystal said

“I don’t know how to change diapers.”

“Well, learn now.” Crystal put Louis in Caleb’s arms.

“Crystal…”

“Honey. I’m doing this because I love you.” Crystal gave Caleb a kiss. “Now change Louis diaper. He stinking up this room.” Ana got up and grab Louis diaper bag.

“Come on, Caleb. I’ll help you.” Ana said

“Thanks Ana.” Caleb said. I watch as they left room. I look around the room again.

“Where is Drake?” I ask. Mrs. Knight stood up quickly and came to me.

“He is on a date!” Mrs. Knight said excitedly.

“Oh. He is.” I said. I felt a little hurt.

“Yea. With Tiffany. She was one of the girls at the masquerade. Don’t worry. Drake wanted to come to see you. He was so worried about you, but I had to convince him to go on the date. I told him that you would have wanted that.”

“You told him that?”

“Yea. I thought you wanted that. Did you?”

I bit my lower lip and look away. “Yea. That is what I wanted…um…I’m getting tired.”

“Sure sweetheart. Get a lot of rest. Okay?”

“Yes.” When everyone gave me a hug, they left.

 

I lean back on the bed and took a deep breath to keep myself from crying. What is wrong with me? This is what I wanted. Drake to find the girl who he going to spend eternity with, but I can’t help the way I feel. A tear ran down my cheek as I close my eyes to fall asleep.

Chapter 15

 

 I woke up to someone touching me. At first, it was a blur, but as soon as I could see clearly, I see Dylan. I was about to scream, but Dylan cover my mouth with his hand. I was about to grab the remote with the nurse button, but Dylan took it away from me. I whimper.

 

“I’m not going to hurt you. Just let me talk to you. Please.” Dylan pleaded. I look into his eyes and all I see is pain. I relaxed a little and nodded. “If I remove my hand from your mouth, would you promise not to scream?” When I nod my head yes, he remove his hand from my mouth. I sat up on the bed and look at Dylan with suspicion. Dylan groan in pain as he sat up.

“What happened to you?”

“My wolf pack jumped me from behind, then they kicked me out the pack. Then, Drake and Christopher beat the crap out of me. They broke 4 of my ribs.”

“Well… you deserved it.”

“I know… and I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to act like that. I was so nervous.”

“What you mean?”

“When I’m around pretty girls like you, I get so nervous. I tried to make this date perfect, but look what happened. I tried to calm myself by drinking some beer, but I couldn’t even hold my liquor. So I got crazy. I didn’t even remember what happened that night. I had to hear it by Sabrina and Nicholas.”

“What about the movie theatre?”

“I do remember that. Sorry. It’s a bad habit.”

“What about the restaurant. Do you remember at least a little?”

“Yea. A little. I tried to act cool, but that’s how I eat.”

“Well, it didn’t work.”

“I know. The last thing I remember is leaving from the restaurant. The rest is a blur. Lea…when Sabrina told me what happened that night, I never felt so disappointed in myself. I have no pack, my own family won’t even look at me anymore. I am so sorry. I wish I could take back what happened.”

“But… you can’t.”

“I know.” He wipe his tears from his eyes. All that anger I felt for him was now gone. Now I felt sorry for him.

“Why did you come to me?” Dylan look at me, then look away.

“I wanted to tell you I was sorry, but you ran off. When I found you again, you was unconscious and you was badly hurt, so I took you to the hospital and contact Drake from your phone. I wanted to stay longer to see if you were alright, but I knew if I stayed, it would only going to make matters worse.” Dylan finally look at me. “I’m sorry.” I couldn’t help it, so I carefully sat up and hug him. Dylan hug me back. Next thing I know, Drake come in and pull Dylan away from me. He threw Dylan against the wall.

 

“Drake!” I yell. I flinch as Drake turns around. His fangs were out and his eyes were now coal black. I slowly took the IV out my hand and went to Dylan.

“Lea…” Drake said. I turn around and see that his eyes were back to normal and his fangs were gone. He looked worried.

“Drake. Wait outside.”

“Lea. I’m not leaving you alone with him.”

“Drake, I’m alright. Can you please wait outside?”

“Lea…”

“Just go. Please.” Drake was about to say something, but he stopped himself and left out the room. I look back at Dylan. “Are you okay?” Dylan put his shoulder back in place.

“Yea. I should heal.”

“I should get a nurse.”

“No.” Dylan groan in pain as I help him up. “I deserved it.”

“Stop saying that.”

“Well, it’s true. I did a horrible thing to you. I have to live with it for the rest of my life. Now here we are. You could have let Drake beat the hell out of me, but you didn’t. You could have let him stay in here, but we still here. Alone. Why you being so nice to me?”

“I don’t know. I’m confused as much as you are.” Dylan nodded.

“Okay… Well, I should be leaving.” Dylan start walking away, but I stop him. He turned back to me.

“Why did you call Drake first? Why didn’t you call no one else?’

“Well… You were conscious for a few seconds and you said his name a few times when I was running you to the hospital. So I text him. Was it wrong for me to do it?”

“No…it wasn’t.”

“Well, I need to go. I don’t want Drake to come back in and beat me.”

“Okay.”

“Bye Lea. I hope you find true happiness.” Dylan went to the door.

“I don’t think I will find true happiness.”

“I think you already have. You just don’t know it yet.” Before I could ask him what he mean, Dylan already left. I groan and sat down on the bed. I laid back on the pillow. Drake came in and sat down on the chair beside the bed.

 

“Did he hurt you?” Drake ask.

“No. You had no right to hurt him like that.” I said

“Lea, you must have forgotten that he tried to rape you and turn you to a wolf.”

“He was drunk.”

“That is still no excuse.”

“Drake, he lost everything. His pack. His family.”

“Okay.”

“Drake, what if this happen to you? Would you still think it was no excuse?”

“Yes. I would face the consequences.”

“Drake!”

“What? Lea, what’s wrong with you? Just a few days ago, you were crying in my arms talking about how scared you were. Now you are hugging him.”

“You must have forgotten when I said he lost everything. I just wanted to be nice.”

“Well, you are too nice.”

“Drake, why are you getting on me so much?”

“Because I care about you. I don’t want you to get hurt. It was already hard for me to leave you with him.”

“Drake…”

“All I’m asking you is to be careful. Please.”

“I am. Dylan saved my life. If it wasn’t for him, I would be dead in the woods.”

“Lea…”

“Drake…let me finish.” ‘Sigh’ “Dylan was the one who contact you on my phone. He was the one who took me to the hospital.”

“Why was here today?”

“He just came by to apologize. That’s all.”

“I can still worry.”

“Drake, it’s sweet to hear that you care about me, but I do know how to protect myself. You must have forgotten that I work with many supernatural creatures every day.” Drake chuckle.

“You right about that, but…you should let other people to protect you. You not alone, Lea.”

“I know Drake… so…How was your date with Tiffany?” I said changing the subject.

“It was great… I guess.” I sigh in relief.

“What happened? You’ll had sex… didn’t you?”

“Lea, calm down. We didn’t have sex. The only thing we did is go to the movies and get something to eat. That’s all. I just drop her off at home and came straight here.”

“Do you like her?”

“She’s alright.”

“What you mean?”

“She’s not you.” I groan

“Drake…”

“What? It’s true.” Drake came toward me and took my hands in his. “Lea, the things I told you was true. All those feelings I have are true. The night after the masquerade was amazing. I think I have grown feelings for you.” I blush.

“Drake… that night was amazing, but…”

“I hate but’s.”

“I was still a little drunk. This shouldn’t have happened. I’m still in shock.”

“Lea, you weren’t that drunk. I know what drunk is.”

“Drake…I was emotional. I needed comfort and you gave me that.” Drake sigh in frustration and let’s go of my hand.

“Lea… I just want you to be honest with me… Okay?”

“Okay.”

“Do you feel the
