Chapter 71

I storm up the stairs and into my bedroom, deciding to shower in order to get all the blood of me, but I couldn't help but growl under my voice, furious at what Dean had said to me. How could he be like that? I saved the lives of pack members and yet he tried to label me as weak.
I step under the streaming water, trying to calm my racing heart as I looked down at the growing bump on my stomach, rubbing it softly. It wasn't like I was purposely trying to harm my babies, I didn't want anything happening to them, just like my mates didn't.
but that didn't mean he could talk to me like that, I had done nothing but try and help, not anger anyone.
"Nyx what are we going to do? I feel like everyone tries to control us." I complain, though most of my anger has gone now, replaced with sadness.
Didnt Dean trust us?
"I think he was just worried about the babies, we are chatting the next alphas, you can't blame him for being protective." She says, catching me off guard, especially as I could feel her own anger at what had happened. "But that doesn't mean he can talk to us like that, theirs concern, then theirs being an asshole."
I nod as I wash my hair, "I agree, and I couldn't just stand by and watch that little girl get hurt."
I know that Dean had trouble controlling his temper, god knows I do as well, but he could have raised his concerns better. Shouting at me and implying I'm weak isn't what I needed to hear, especially when I just saved lives.
Hiw could he even think of mentioning Drax when he knows I'm still upset about it all, saying that I got kidnapped as if I didn't know that. But if he had better security it would have never happened in the first place.
couodnt he see how he had hurt me? Didn't he know the damage he had just caused to our bond?
we were lucky that Drax wasn't with the rogues... I was lucky that he hasn't come back for me. I could survive another week with him, I wouldn't be able to handle it, i would rather go back with Balthazar.
I was really starting to believe that all the men around me were assholes, they just wanted to control me and I wasn't about to let that happen.
I would never be controlled again.
I dried myself and changed into some blue pjs with clouds on, the buttons barley fastening over my stomach, reminding me that I would have to send Eve to get me some more, I was only going to get bigger and my clothes were getting rather tight.
"What do you want." I snapped as I walked into the bedroom only to see Dean sat on the bed.
he looks away in guilt. "I came to apologise, I shouldn't have said what I did."
"No you shouldn't have, you really pissed me of and hurt me at the same time. I thought you trusted me." I scolded, shaking my head in frustration. "I saved a little girls life today, no one else could have done it. Could you imagine me just leaving her to die? I couldn't do that Dean!"
"I shouldn't have said what I said, and I'm sorry. I was worried for the little loved growing inside of you. What if something would have happened to you Annalise?" He takes a deep breath. "I don't know what I would do if I lost you or our children."
"I was intentionally putting my self of them in danger, I was trying to help! What you said to me really hurt, it's like we are not partners at all. Like you don't see me as your equal."
"that's not at all the case, I just want to keep you safe." he rises to his feet and walks toward me, pulling me into his embrace, "please believe that I would never intentionally hurt you, I love you."
"I love you too, but you have to treat me as an equal." I say, clinging to him. "I never expected you to say what you did."
"neither did I." He admits. "I lost my temper and didn't think."
"I forgive you and I promise I won't put myself or our children in danger. Not ever."
"come on, Zane has cooked and you need to eat." He says, ushering me towards the door.
"okay." I whisper, glad that we had fixed things.
I hated being angry and I did love him, just like I did all my mates."
