I WANT TO GO HOME!!

"Okay. Now that you're back can you please tell me that everything that happened in the forest was just my...imagination". Eclipse refused to believe that whatever happened in the forest was true. It was just so surreal. People live their lives not knowing that otherworldly creatures exist. She was one of those people although deep in her heart she knew that some unimaginable beings exist.

Jesse sighed and looked at his Mate. "I know that everything happened so quickly and that you find all this hard to believe, but whatever happened is very real. That was just a taste of the supernatural world. Now that you've entered this forest and my life, there's no going back sweetheart, but I promise to protect and shield you from those Supernatural beings."

"I'm so so so confused right now. Can you please explain everything from the beginning." Eclipse was so eager to know everything; why she was involved in this, why this happened to her, and so many other things. Jesse didn't want to bombard her with everything. He wanted her to relax and calm down so that she could digest this news.

"Another thing, I can't stay here." Eclipse suddenly remembered that she can't stay with these strange creatures and her urge to know the answers pertaining to these supernaturals flew out the window. Jesse was amazed at how quick her decisions changed. First she wanted to know about the supernaturals and now she wants to go home. A subtle smile played on his lips.

"Why can't you stay here?". Jesse didn't like the fact that she wanted to go away from him. He was trying his best to be nice to her and not scare her but all she could think about was leaving him. That didn't sit well with him.

"I have two reasons for that. The first being that I don't know you or anyone here. I don't know if you'd eat me or hurt me. And I also have a family back home. A grandmother and a woman who is like my mother. I can't just forget them and move in here." After explaining these things to him, Eclipse lowered her eyes as she couldn't stand the intensity of his gaze. Jesse thought about what she said and agreed that she would have to go home, but he couldn't just leave her like that knowing that the other supernaturals would be out for her. He decided that he would let her go...for now. He didn't want to be selfish.

"Okay. I'll drop you and your friend at home." Hearing what Jesse said, Eclipse was happy for three reasons; First, she would see her granny and Maui again. Second she would get out of this unholy forest and third, she would never see these creatures again because she would never come back to this forest." In her excitement, a crazed smile appeared on her lips and her eyes had a faraway look of happiness as if seeing her dream come true in the future. Jesse noticed that and immediately knew what she was thinking. He knew that if she left the forest she wouldn't return on her own accord again. He smiled and decided to burst her little fantasy bubble.

He cleared his throat and snapped his fingers in front of her, pulling her out of her reverie. She shook her head and looked at him. "Sorry to burst your bubble little miss, but I will be watching you immediately you step out of this forest. Of course it's for your protection. There will be a rotation among the people that will protect you, your friend, her mother and your grandmother. I must say that the four of you are no longer safe outside this territory and especially outside the forest. At least 5 of the Aquilla troop members will keep watch on your house and your activities and report back to me on the days that I won't be keeping watch"

After hearing what Jesse had to say, she was actually happy because what he said was true. She and her family won't be safe because of this mess that Raine had gotten them into, so a little bit of protection was okay, but she decided within herself that she won't ever come back to this forest again. Jesse could see different emotions playing on her face, Happiness, Anger, Acceptance, and determination. Again, he proceeded to burst her bubble without mercy.

"Also, whenever I need you back in this forest, you will come. If I miss you and I feel like talking to you, I will send someone to get you, and if you don't come...", he leaned closer to her and snaked his hand round her waist. Eclipse could feel her heart jack hammering in her chest and thought that she would surely die of heart failure if this continued. She looked into his eyes that fluctuated between red and black and used her tongue to wet her red lips.

Jesse continued his sentence, "I will personally come to your house and carry you back with me princess style and then I'd fucking punish you." He leaned into her and used his lips to brush her earlobe and said, "Trust me, if I start that punishment, I wouldn't want to stop". He kissed her neck and inhaled her orange blossom scent due to the bath oil she used. He stopped what he was doing when he heard a moan escape Eclipse's mouth. Eclipse slapped a hand on her mouth in shock. She felt embarrassed that she made such a sound.

Jesse looked at her intensely and felt his body turning hot. He found it hard to control his lust around her. He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. Then he stood up and effortlessly pulled her up with him. "Let's go then and don't forget to heed to my instructions." Eclipse nodded her head and left the room with her hand in Jesse's.
