14 - Chapter Fourteen - Leno's Point Of View.
When the next week rolled around Diego was too busy with training
the warrior wolves all day. I really wasnt super surprised that he
couldn't come because he was too busy. It seemed he was going to be
busy for a while thanks to all the rogues that seemed to be trailing the
border lately. Dakota and Felix had Diego training wolves nearly all day
every day for an attack because they were afraid one was going to
happen with the way they were chasing all of our borders. Part of me
also thought he was doing this to avoid the question she had asked
him last time. It didn't seem that hard to figure that as well, I was sure if
I had asked Dakota he could have gotten out of the training. The whole
thing was kind of annoying but I couldn't blame him for not wanting to
go and get harassed about his feelings, shit I did that to him enough
that the lady shouldn't even have to ask how he is feeling.
Crawling out of my bed I felt like shit. I had gone to sleep in my own
bed after a restless night and not wanting to wake Diego up getting
back into the bed. I had briefly heard him open my bedroom door this
morning and sigh in relief that was still there. He seemed just as
worried about me leaving as I was about him leaving and that spoke
hundreds to me. There was a pain in my lower back that greeted me as
being a pain of my body adjusting with the addition inside. I knew food
was going to be another struggle but I needed to eat for the pup and
I's health. I didn't expect for Diego to even be home, so I was pretty
shocked when he came out of his bedroom the same time I came out
of mine. He was only in boxers and he was dripping wet so that told me
had just come out of the shower.
âOh you're finally awake, I was going to wake you in a bit so you
wouldn't be late for the appointment,â
âI'm surprised you even home, you've been working so much over the
last week."
âI came to shower and get lunch before i met up with Dakota to talk
about all the rogues.â
"Oh, Yeah, that makes sense, there have been a lot of them really
recently.â
âYeah, Dakota says Felix is really on edge about all the rogues suddenly.
His father still lives and looks after the other city and he says there's
been alot of rogues coming in looking for places for the winter. He says
there's also been a lot of rogues just passing through.â
âYeah, i'm sure after his attack he's still on edge even more so know,
and with all the rogues iot probably makes him uneasy.â
âYeah. I'm pretty sure it does. Dakota says he still wakes up in a panic
about that attack and with all the reports of more vampires going
missing everywhere it's hard for him to get a good night's sleep
without wanting to do more looking to any vampires missing and
anyone by the name of Marcus.â
âI really feel for him. He has a lot on his plate and he is always so busy. I
really hope they get a chance to relax and so do you. Your working so
much more this last week and i'm worried about getting up in the night
and waking you up, you need your sleep. Which is why i slept over here
in my own bed after i got up last night.â
âYeah. I was worried when I didn't feel or see you in my bed this
morning. But when i stepped out into the hall i heard your soft snores
and i double checked your room and saw you. I would feel better if you
had more blankets though, you have only one chavey comforter and
that's not enough for the winter, even with the heat and shit.â
"Speaking of blankets, there's a clean set of sheets in the dryer for your
bed and along with a new blanket. If you have any laundry leave it by
the washer and i will wash it when i come home. Take something out
for dinner to defrost and i will cook that as well so when you come
home you have a clean bed and a good dinner.â
âYou don't have to do any of that. Also i wish you would stop doing
things when i'm not home, you could get hurt and i would be here to
help you.â
âIs fine, I'm pregnant not dying relax Diego, i have to keep myself busy.â
âWatch a movie, read, anything else that's not housework or
dangerous.â
âYou are not leaving me with a ton of thing to do that aren't sitting
down and relaxing.â
âThat's the point Leno, I want you to sit down and relax.â
âDiego, I'm not even that far into the pregnancy yet you can't expect
me to have the same concerns, I won't hurt myself and if i do you will
be the first i call. So don't worry.â
âI swear i'm going to have to take leave so i can keep an eye on you
and not have to worry you're doing something i asked you not to.â
"Diego, no. I won't allow that. One of us has to have a job. Hopefully
after out pup is born and a little older i can look at getting back to
practicing with the warrior wolves and look at getting my senior rank
and maybe even my advanced if i can cut it that is, I hear the teacher is
a hardass and pushes people to there max.â
âI don't like that idea at all.â
"And why is that?â
âI don't want you anywhere close to the warriors let alone training with
them. I get that was what you wanted before you met me and i know
you lost that rank, but you traded it in for the Beta rank when we found
out about being mates. Even when we weren't made you couldn't have
gone back into the warriors rank even if I allowed it. You're of a higher
rank than even that of the best trained wolves, But if you want to train
with me, i will allow that but privately. I don't want any of their other
wolves to even have a chance to put their hands on you. I would lose it,
sorry.â
âYeah, you have a good point i am a the betas mate. Also i would have
no doubts you would end up ripping someone apart if they touched
me well training. So that definitely is not the best idea.â
âYeah. My thoughts exactly.â
My back hurt from all the standing in the hall and having a full
conversation. Diego helped me down the stairs and to the kitchen
where he made me sit down well he cooked only in his boxers. He
brought me a plate of eggs and veggies, there was no meat on the
plate because i hadnt been eating it lately because it didn't sit well in
my belly.
âI'll try to be home earlier tonight but don't count on it, I have a lot of
paperwork still yet to do and calls and such.â
âIf you need help i am able to help you with that. I do know how.â
âIf i find i have too much to do and need the help i will come get you
okay?"
âSounds good to me. I wonder what the therapist will want to talk
about today, there still so much she hasn't touched on that i'm not sure
i really want to talk about. I still feel so forced in this whole thing, but i
know i have to do what's right for our pup which is why i'm going and
not canceling the appointment.â
âLeno, don't even get me started on the therapy, I hate that they order
this from you and it's none of their business about what goes on in our
family life, but they are worried about your mental health and i cant say
im not worried about it either, because i am.â
âI assure you i'm fine,â
âYou might be now but you weren't and i'm not talking about when you
got me drunk, i'm talking about how you were after. I saw how bad you
wanted to stay away from me and run away when i came into the room.
I know about how bad you just wanted to disappear from here.â
âI dont know what to say Diego, I still feel guilty about hiow this all
happened and in the most uneasy of terms i did rape you. I got you
drunk so you would fight your wolves pull on me. That was so fucking
wrong and it still makes me so fucking sick with myself.â
âIt's in the past forget it. Besides, I was the one who also partook in that
event, I touched you and mated you. You also were in pain that night. I
remember all my actions Leno. I know I hurt you too.â
âIt was my own fault Diego.â
âWe are both at fault.â
âNot in the eyes of your parents or Dakota. Shit even Felix treated me
like I was the bad guy.â
âMy mother's words don't matter and Dakota and Felix know only what
they were told, they don't know everything and if i have to i will make
sure they both know you're not the only party at fault. And i know your
mental health took a shit kicking.â
âI know it did, I tried to hide it.â
After my breakfast I headed to the appointment with a warrior wolf
behind me. Diego had appointed him my guard for the visit because he
was unable to go. The appointment itself went by so quickly. We talked
about so many things, Included the talk Diego. She was pretty
impressed that Diego and i were talking about all the things that he
wouldn't talk about in her office and she was pleased with how i was
doing. She asked about the pup and how it was going in our house
with the news of a pup joining the ranks. I told her about my bad
relationship with Diego's parents and she wrote down on her board
about what I said. She said I couldn't change their minds. I could only
show them something better of myself and hope they saw the good in
me. She was also very proud of Diego for taking some of the blame
from that night even though I was convinced it was still all my fault and
he was innocent. She scheduled another appointment a few months in
the future, she was sure that Diego and I were going to be fine. SHe
only scheduled the future appointment for after the baby was born so
that if I had any baby blues, they could be handled right away.
Leaving the office of hers, I felt in a better place with my mental health
but also so drained. She had given me her personal cell phone to call
her anytime i felt like i needed someone to take to and that was
comforting. The warrior wolf dropped me off at the door and I went
inside. I could hear the sounds of an angry phone call from the office
upstairs. When he said he had paperwork and calls i had figured he was
going to do them all at the offices, but nope he brought everything
home.
