114. Kaya
Kaya
We sat down with our food at a picnic table. The weather was great as it was spring and had not gotten too hot yet. It was warmer than anything I had ever been in, but it was not bad. We ate without talking, and I sipped on my smoothie. Once we finished, Cade looked at me. He seemed nervous all of a sudden. "What is it?" I signed. "Kaya, I don't know how to say this, but you must leave Shadow Pack." I nearly spit my drink out. "What do you mean?" I signed. "Kaya, I can't have you around the fighting, and if we have to flee to the north, you can't make the trip." I sat there at him dumbstruck. I then threw my head back and laughed.
He must be out of his mind if he thought I would do any of that. I would remain by his side. It was my job as his mate. I would not be parted from him. I never knew how my brother did it when he came down south. It was always for a few days, but even then, I knew he missed his mate. When my dad did it before him my mother would be so sad and I would not be in that position. I would not be parted from Cade even for a few days. "Kaya, I am serious." He mind linked.
"Cade, you know I will never agree to that. I am your mate and Luna of Shadow Pack, and I will not leave you, nor will I leave our pack. If we flee, I can just go on a plane or something." "Kaya, you can't fly. It is not safe with you being so far along. I talked to the doctor. Not to mention, you shouldn't sit that long being pregnant. You will get blood clots. You can't be in the car for hours either, and you can't run as your wolf all the way there. Not to mention, let's say we do somehow get you to the north, and then you have to have a c-section that can't be done up there. There is no medical equipment. So yes, Kaya, you have to go someplace else." I looked at him, realizing he was serious.
"Cade, I won't go." "Kaya, you have to." "Where am I supposed to go then, huh? Where and when am I supposed to go?" "I was thinking you can either stay with another pack or go live amongst the humans." I looked at him, shocked. "Cade, you don't know when and if Howi will come. It could be after I give birth, then it would be no problem. I think you are overthinking." "Kaya, I am not overthinking. I am being protective and don't know what else to be. You are my whole world, and now you are carrying our child, and I can't protect you if we are outnumbered. I can't have you fighting in your condition." "Cade, I fight just fine, and you know it." "You do, but look at your dam legs. Sitting in the car for an hour and walking around, the swelling is out of control. Who knows how high your blood pressure is right now."
"You cannot fight like that. You can't travel far like that either. I need you safe and sound somewhere I knew won't be discovered until I can figure out a way to kill Howi." "So now you have jumped to offense. I guess that is good. Can't you just figure that out and then kill him so I don't have to go away." "Kaya, I am working on it, but it is not easy." I looked at him. I could see he was struggling. I hated this, but I could see he hated it just as much as I did. "When would I have to go?" I signed. "I was thinking sooner rather than later. With you safe and sound, I can think clearly. I won't worry about you and can focus on killing Howi."
"Just so you know, you are not making me. But I guess I could do that. But, Cade, I think being with the humans will be the best bet. If Howi wants me, he will go after another pack to get to me. It would be best if I was not hidden in a pack." He nodded, and I could see all his frustration. He was just as I was with everything. He pulled me to him. "We will mind link every day." I nodded, and I felt the tears fall down my face. "When do I have to leave?" "Once we find you a place to go and get it set up." "Am I going alone?" "What? No, I would never do that to you." "You will have Robert with you, and I was thinking Kimi if she is okay with that. We need to limit the number of people that leave with you so you guys don't draw too much attention."
"What if the baby comes and you are not there." "Kaya, that is three months away; I plan on being there." "What am I supposed to do if you are not there, though, and I have to have a c-section? The doctor is not coming, is he?" "No, you will go to the hospital. Our births are like humans; only the pregnancy itself is shorter. They will take care of you. But it shouldn't come to that. I will do my best to get to Howi before he comes after us." "Have you talked to Nieva about this?"
He nodded. I mind-linked him again. "What did she say?" "She agreed you staying away would be best. She wanted you to return there, but I told her why you couldn't. She was concerned, to say the least. But she knew it was the right thing. She is sending twenty people to help with everything. All unmated and hoping to find their mate here. She said the coming people are excited, so there is that." I began to cry harder. Everything was ruined. I just felt horrible. Cade held me as I sobbed into his chest. I would have to leave him soon, but I didn't know how long.
