"Kim? Kim?" he yelled again, but I didn't respond...

If I talked, I would tell him everything and I wasn't allowed to do that. I felt so bad ignoring him. So lifeless and treacherous. Even if I just wanted and had to protect him.

"Kim. Please say something." came derek's voice again. My wolf cried out for him, his touch, his strong arms, his one lip, his words. After everything about him. But I had to fight it. Everything was like it was at the beginning. I had to. But I was too weak. Too weak something from me to against. Too weak to push him off me. Too weak to face Ryder alone. Too weak for anything.

"Kim." he breathed. I strained to look at him. His worried eyes scanned every inch of my face. His hand gently cupped my cheek and his thumb wiped away my tears. I leaned against her. Everything in me rested. I felt like I wasn't so weak anymore, but like my strength and my life coming back into my body. My heart calmed down. My tears stopped. My eyes were already burning like hell. I must have looked like a zombie.

"Who did this to you? What happened? Please talk to me." he looked at me pleadingly.

"He found me." came out of my mouth softly. Oh no. I had already said too much. Shit. Now he wouldn't give up anyway.

"Who?" he growled. His chocolate brown eyes are turning black and looked dangerous. He looked ready to kill. What have I done? He shouldn't have known. Actually I wanted to confess my love to him today, but now. Now I was sitting on the floor like a wrag and had cried my heart out.

"Who?" he growled. He tensed. His jaw squirted forward. I still didn't answer. He wasn't allowed to know. He wasn't allowed to know. He shouldn't have known that himself.

He continued to look at me for a while before finally picking me up bridal style. I buried my face in his chest. His scent filled my nostrils and slightly bedazzled me. He smelled divine.

"Please. Kim. Talk to me." came his voice. I pulled my face from his chest and looked up at him. His masculine face was focused on me with concern. I will miss him so much. I reached out my shaky hand and traced his prominent cheekbones. He leaned against my hand and briefly closed his eyes.

"Please. Don't leave me alone now." I whispered to him.

"I would never leave you alone." he breathed back and kissed my forehead. Again everything blurred before new eyes. I started crying again and buried my face into his shirt again on his chest. I will miss him so much. I need him so much. I love him so much. I couldn't do without him. I would break it.

"You stay with me for now." he said firmly. I nodded as best I could and continued to cry against his chest. It was so good. I felt protected and didn't care that I showed weakness. I felt so comfortable being able to show my feelings to him. I just knew that he would never despise me just because I showed weakness. He would also never use it against me if I showed him weakness.

The way she leaned against the window and looked out broke my heart. Every tear that rolled down her cheek made me angry. What happened? who was he? Who found her? All of these questions. Argg. I finally wanted to know everything. It was something she didn't tell me. All this secrecy was killing me. She should finally say what was going on.

I stopped at the house and got out. She got out too. You could see her weakness. She could barely walk, but she didn't want to be helped. Why did she always have to be so damn stubborn? Couldn't she even get help?

She looked like she was about to collapse. That's enough. I just picked her up bridal style. I hated seeing her suffer like that. She should finally tell the truth.

"Thanks." she whispered.

"For what?" I asked in surprise. But she didn't ignore me. I hate being ignored, especially when she did. She leaned against me and ran a hand across my chest. It was so good. Every time everything relaxed in me. I always felt so vulnerable and vulnerable without her. She was such a weakness of mine. I was always afraid that something could happen to her. She made me vulnerable and weak. I was even more paranoid without her than with her. But still I couldn't do without her. I didn't want to be without her either. I just brought them to life. No one but her could calm me down that quickly. But no one was able to quickly show my weaknesses to SK. I would do anything for her smile or well-being.

Everyone in the house looked at me questioningly, but I just waved them off. The only ones I would tell this to would be Cole, Hunter, maddy, Sina and Chloé.

I gently laid her on my bed and covered her up. She was already asleep. I was about to leave to let her sleep in peace.

"Stay with me." she whispered in a no and breaking voice. I nodded and lay down next to her. She snuggled up to me and hugged me like a little monkey. She was so cute and beautiful. Her little delicate head was on my chest. A strand fell in her face. I gently brushed it off her face. My fingers stroked her tender cheek. She felt so cold. I automatically pulled her even closer to me. I had never worried about anything as much as I did about her. Without her I would go insane. I couldn't imagine a future without her.

I closed my eyes happily. Everything was perfect at that moment. I lay in bed next to the woman of my dreams and was able to protect her. Nobody would be able to hurt her. I swore to myself. And so I slowly fell asleep...
