Chapter 12 (Plans and Intruder.)

***Laura’s POV***

I pulled into my drive it has been a long day, Robin was really sick after this last treatment. I wish I could take his pain away. It isn’t fair he is only seven years old, what has he done to the world?
The world isn’t fair though and that is the way of it, I could understand that kind of thinking if it were for adults only but for a child it just isn’t right. With a tired sigh I turn off my car; instantly I feel it, I have always had the ability since I was little, I always know when someone has been in my space when I am not around.
I look over my house not wanting to get out of my car, I didn’t feel that there was a presence there now it all looked in order anyway. I grab my purse and reach for my tazer, I have always carried it with me since college. It was the only gift from Devin that I kept, perhaps someday I can use it on him.
I let out a laugh as I am coming up to my back door that led into the kitchen, as I pulled out the key to unlock it; that was when I saw an envelope taped to it. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of my name written in a penmanship that I knew all to well. Devin.
Staring at it without moving, I couldn’t decide if I should take it or leave it taped to the door. Just seeing his handwriting again made me so angry; that I walked into my house leaving the note right where he left it. Maybe I am being childish, I don’t think so. The time for Devin to tell the truth and tell me everything has long past.
What is his goal? Does he think he can win be back somehow? Not going to happen, Never Ever going to happen. He needs to just walk away and stop bothering me.
I angrily toss my purse and keys onto the counter, making my way to the bathroom to take an extra long hot shower, I have been told by my supervisor, that for tonight I am to go home and stay there, she will let me know if anything happens with Robin.
Looking at myself in the mirror I give a little cringe, yikes, I look like I could pass for a zombie. She was right I need to get some food and rest. I am no good to Robin or any of my other patients in this condition.
The hot shower did wonder for my aching body, I changed into my old jeans and a T-shirt debating on whether I want to go out or just fix myself a sandwich. I decided that I was not going to go anywhere, fixing my self a cup of hot tea and a PB&J.
Before I knew it I found myself dozing on the couch, the room was dark the sun must have set while I was out. I turn on my lamp and the clock said eight thirty, guess I really did need sleep. I stopped instantly, remembering that I didn’t lock the back door; someone is in my house.
I reached around the side of my couch and got out the baseball bat I have hidden there for such occurrences, though I never expected it to be in this neighborhood. I made my way slowly into the kitchen area; I can sense that whoever it was had left, when I made it to my bedroom. I stood in shock at what I found on my bed.
It was a dozen long stemmed pink roses. There was a note card beside them on the bed. With shaking hands I opened it all it said was, read my letter. Letting out a hiss of rage I tore the note into pieces and then grabbed all the roses, stomping my way out to my back door.
Walked right over to the garbage can and shoved then all inside, I then took my garbage can to the curb remembering that tomorrow is garbage day. What awesome timing. I am not sure why but I took the note off of the door and brought it inside.
I sat back down on my couch and just stared at the letter in my hand, I tossed it to the opposite corner and went to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of wine. Sat back down and just sipped my wine while staring at the walls feeling numb.
The letter was left in the corner when I finally got up to go to bed, I will deal with this shit storm in the morning, it was my first day off since I started working and I decided that I needed to get some things done before going to the hospital.
I knew that Robin wasn’t going to be doing much of anything other than sleeping, my present to him yesterday was the visit from a local woman who raises dogs, she brought over a chocolate lab named Toby, it was the first time in days since Robin had smiled that big.

***Aiden’s POV***

***“You are going to have to calm down Ares, what is wrong with you?”***

***“Mate, something is wrong with our mate, I can feel her fear.”***

I didn’t wait for Ares to explain more, I rushed out onto my bike and sped off to her house. I knew she was off because I told her supervisor to make sure she went home to get some rest, I admired her for her devotion to her patients, especially little Robin, but she was killing herself doing it.
It wasn’t long and I pulled up in front of her house, the house was dark except for a small light in her living room, I went up to the window to look inside. Laura was sitting on the couch sipping on a glass of wine, something was off though, she looked like a rabbit in the midst of a predator.
That was when I caught the scent of another male, it was fading as if he had been here only recently; but it was definitely fading so I knew that who ever the guy was he was gone now. Ares was growling in my head so loud I had to stop and calm him down.
I have no intention on going into her house right now, Mate or not I am still a stranger to her so if I can observe her from outside then that is what I will do, I will only intervene if I feel she is in danger. I have to admit though this is the hardest thing I have ever done, I had to fight every instinct I had and Ares too.
I watched her for a little while longer uncertain on what I should do next, I can’t go in there to comfort her which was killing me. I can’t just watch from the shadows taking my time anymore, it was time that my Mate knew of my existence.
The dreams have been awesome and the chemistry between us was off the charts, they were still only dreams though, not nearly enough to satisfy me for long. I needed her just as much as I needed to breathe. It was time that Laura Roberts met with her boss, I am waiting no longer.
She is mine.

***Devin’s POV***

I had to admit it was a rush to sneak around inside Laura’s house, there she was sound asleep on the couch while I had a look around. I was pissed when I came up to the door and saw that my letter was still taped to it; unopened and untouched.
I brought along my set of lock picking tools that I had from my younger days, I like breaking into other houses just to see how other people lived, it always gave me a rush to touch their things then leave. Knowing that there were there and had no idea that they had been violated.
When I went to pick the lock on her back door I discovered that it was not locked, Laura was always a kind of stupid idiot when it came to these things. That is why she needs me back in her life, women need to be shown and taught by their men. Women, weak and stupid no wonder I was never attracted to them.
I had the roses already to go and I pulled out the card that I was just going to say my name, but I was still pissed off about what she did with my letter; so I wrote telling her to read it. God, sometimes you have just be frank with what you want them to do.
Suddenly I could hear faint moaning coming from the living room and decided it was best to just let myself back out, this time I locked her door for her. It was time I got back home to Adam, he has been kind of suspicious of me lately, I am going to have to do some smooth talking and take him out to dinner.
One thing I have always loved about Adam is that he was so intelligent but easily manipulated, I was his first and I intend to be his last. His sister is just going to have to learn to tow the line and do what I want her to do.
It was time that I upped my game a little, if the roses don’t win her back at least enough that she is willing to talk; then I am going to have to see about ruining her current life, so she has no choice but to come running back home.
