Nala POV
After we finished crying, my heart broke for Christian. Always strong and proud begging me to stay, I can't break him. His voice was shaking his eyes full of pain. He was broken before and I won't let it happen again. I said yes, I’ll stay and hugged him close, I couldn’t take any more of his pain.
He said he’ll never let me leave that I’m his now, I know I should be scared of how possessive he’s acting but for some stupid reason, I loved it. I loved being wanted and needed, I loved his attention and care.
"Okay baby I'm going to change to my wolf form and you can hope on my back so we can go home," Christian said and I nodded.
When I found out they are werewolves after the initial shock, I won’t lie for a minute I thought about riding his on bi back like a horse. My wish just got granted but it was nothing like I imagined, sitting on a wolf back while he's running is awkward, to say the least.
I was starting to have fun when we reached the house. I could see angry faces, matt was crying on Zach's shoulder, I didn’t even know I meant this much to him or any of them. I didn't know that running will hurt them so much. Never again, I'll never hurt them again.
"How could you do that!! You know how worried we were" Zach yelled at me with tears, "I thought you got hurt, I thought someone fucking kidnapped you"
I'm crying again I jump and hug Zach "I'll never do it again I'm sorry I'm sorry"
I cry and hug everyone apologizing when I get to Kyle I say an extra sorry for this morning and he hugs me closer "you look beautiful sugar even in hoodie and legging" ~Kyle. I cry and hug him closer, he’s so nice to me even after I went all bitch mode on him this morning.
After all the hugging and kissing are over I'm back in Christian arms.
"Now baby girl let's get to your punishment" ~Christian
"My punishment?" I say gulping.
"Yes, your punishment didn't I say don't go into the forest, and to always tell me where you are? And still, you ran away and made everyone worries about where you were."
I didn't want a punishment but I can't think of anything to get me out of it. Think nala think.
"Dadddyyyyy please don't punish me, I promise not to do it again," I say pouting and trying to look cute. He won't punish me if I'm cute.
He chuckles and just shakes his head. Ughh just feeds me to the wolves and be over with it.
Christian carried me back to my room sat down on my bed and pull me over his lap with me facing down.
"Stay with me "~nala
“I’m sorry I had to do that baby girl,” he says playing with my hair.
“I don’t like punishment” I reply honestly.
“You shouldn’t like it, baby girl it’s called a punishment for a reason,” he says with a chuckle making me pout.
“Don’t pout Nala” he says still playing with my hair “try and sleep”
“Will you be here when I wake up?” I ask not liking the idea of staying alone.
“I’ll always be here” he whispers to me.
I fall asleep with him playing with my hair.
