It has now been four days that Blake has been gone and this distance is actually killing me, I have a flu that doesn't want to subside. I did consult with the pack doctor about this flu and he says it is caused because of the time Blake and I have been apart.
He also mentioned the it won't get better or subside unless we are together within close range of the other. I take out my phone to give Blake a call because I can't believe that I'm the only one sitting with this and has the symptoms.
*Ring*
*Ring*
*Ring*
"Hello?" I hear his groggy voice coming through the phone. "Blake, are you okay? You don't sound like yourself." I ask knowing damn well that he has the flu as well, which makes me feel relieved because I'm not the only one that has the flu, but I feel bad because I don't want to hear him like this.
"Oh, hey Soph. Yeah I'm-" he clears his throat to attempt to get his voice to sound normal " Sorry, I'm fine yes why baby? Are you okay?" he asks trying to divert the attention back to me.
"No, don't even try to tell me you are fine, I know you have the flu that doesn't want to subside." I scold him " How did you know? It can't be because of the way my voice sounds, I could just have woken up." He asks very shocked .
"Baby, please I know you. You don't wake up later than seven AM and it is already nine so that isn't an option. I know you have the flu because I have it, and dr. Smith told me that it won't get better until we are in close range of each other." I told him, waiting for his reply but he just keeps quiet.
I continue " So guess where Joe and I are headed right now?"
"You are not on your way here Sophia, what about the twins? It's too dangerous for you three to come here. I won't allow it. " he says sternly. Who does he think he is? This is not going to work.
"What the actual hell? Blake do you really think that you can command me to stay put? I am doing this for the both of us. I am leaving the twins with your parents, so they will be safe. Shyla will also assist with them. As for me, we are already on the road. We have been on the road for the past hour or so, and we are not turning back now. You just need to accept that and get over it." I said with a small giggle at the end.
I know he is fuming right now, but he has no choice. I am doing this because as an alpha he needs to be at pristine health. Everything has a play in life, with his health not being well he can't protect this pack and the warriors he is trying to train.
He sighs with a low growl " Fine, but you and I will have a talk when you get here. Be safe and I love you so much. Call me if anything looks suspicious or wrong."
"Ok, I will. I love you so much Blake. I'll see you soon" I say as I end the call. I am very happy that he is not fighting this any more than he already has.
I turned to Joe, "He doesn't really sound happy about this, but he doesn't really have a say in this."
"Luna, you know he will probably lock me up in the pack prison as soon as we get back for not informing him about our departure. He gave me strict orders to keep you safe and in the pack." He says stress laced in his tone.
"Oh, don't you worry about this. You will return to this pack and your mate in one piece. I will tell Blake that I ordered you to take me to him and if you refused to do so then I would've found a way to sneak out and go to him myself. Please just call me Sophia, I am not your Luna yet. I haven't been reintroduced to the pack yet. To the rest of the pack I am still a rogue trespassing on their territory. The only reason that they haven't attacked me yet is because I have Blake's scent all over me." I say my mood slumping a bit.
"Your are my Luna, Acceptance trials or not and Luna Ceremony or not, you are the true fated Luna of this pack. Therefore you are my Luna and I will address you as such." He reassures me.
"You are really a good friend Joe, thank you." I say.
We rode in silence for a while, the soft humming of the truck on the road lulled me to sleep. When I opened my eyes again the first sight I see made my heart skip a beat. I jumped out of the truck and ran into the open arms of my mate.
"Blake! I missed you so much!" I said excitedly while wrapping my arms and legs around his body and he spins us around.
I pull away a bit and look into his eyes. He looks so tired and weak. "I missed you to my Soph, soo much." he says and dips his head down to give me a passionate kiss.
He puts me back down on the ground and leads me into the cabin that he has been staying in. He leads me straight to the bedroom and closes the door behind me.
"I linked Joe to just bring your luggage and put them in the lounge. I just want to be alone with you for a few hours. I have canceled training for today because of the flu, it has drained all my energy." he says laying us down on the bed and pulling my body flush against his.
He pressed his nose into the crook of my neck and breathed in my scent. I could feel is body relax against mine.
"I am glad you are here Soph, but we still need to have that talk." he says in a low voice.
I nod, knowing exactly what this talk is about but I respond with " I know, but later. Let's just enjoy this moment for now please, we both need this. This flu has been killing me, but being close to you makes it better."
I turn around in his arms and look deep into his beautiful eyes. I study every detail of his face and run my fingers through his hair. He leans in and his lips lightly meet mine. This kiss is different, it's nothing like the previous ones we've had before. It has a lot more hidden feeling in it, he is showing me his vulnerability through this kiss.
We spent the rest of the in the room, holding each other, making small talk and sharing thoughts about our past few days and what the future holds for us. We share short intimate moments kissing and helping the other heal from this weakness.
We know there is still a lot of rough days and a lot of danger out there still trying to hurt us, but for now we just enjoy the alone time with each other and just relaxing before we have to go back to reality the next day.
We aren't the perfect couple and we fight a lot, but we can work through anything. Our bond is stronger than we realize. The world can try to tear us apart, but we are destined for each other. We are soulmates and we won't choose anyone other then the each other.
