Life After the Storm novel Chapter 20

As I am walking into the door I'm freaking out scared of what I am going to see hoping that he is ok. Knowing that if he's not, I might hit my breaking point not wanting to but not being able to help it. I am so pissed at myself I was so caught up with Sam when Jayden was being attacked. Wondering if there was any way of me preventing what happened to him. If I wouldn't have ran off and just been able to face what was happening. It is possible that Jayden would have never been attacked because he would have been with me. He wanted to show me his room, but I didn't even give him the time to show me.

I look over to Jayden lying in the bed sleeping, hoping when he wakes up that he's not scared. He shouldn't have to fear for his life the way that he did. When I see Landon he looks furious, I am not really sure why. Does he blame me for what has happened because that's what it looks like? I am afraid to even open my mouth, afraid of what he is about to say to me.

He sees me walking in the room. He turns around and looks at me. “He was coming to find you because you took off. This is your fault this is why I don't welcome people into my pack.”

I don't respond to him as tears fill my eyes. I'm disappointed in myself for allowing this to happen. I stand in silence thinking to myself how the hell did a rouge even get into his territory doesn't he have guards to protect his people. I want to yell at him because I'm so angry that they did not protect Jayden. He should have already been protected.

I forget about everything once I look over and see Jayden with his eyes open trying to sit up. I am so relieved that he's awake. I wasn't sure what was going to happen; his cuts were so bad. Then again, no one saw his cuts but me because I healed them before I would allow anyone to touch him. I tried to allow Landon to respond to Jayden first, but I can't help myself as I run up to him and grab a hold of his small hand. I am so happy that he is awake. 

“Hey buddy, you're ok I'm so happy that your awake you scared us.”

“Lilly, what happened?”

“You had a little accident, but everything is ok now that you're awake.”

“Buddy, remember what happened?”

“I was on my way to your cabin. I heard someone calling for me, so I went to see who it was, but then everything just disappeared.”

“Someone was calling your name, do you know who it was?”

“No I don't know I never saw him silly he disappeared then I don't know what happened.”

“Okay well that's ok that you don't remember it must not have been that important then. “I smile at him. 

I am even more angry to know that this was planned. Someone was calling him over to get attacked, but why. Then I wondered if Dean was testing his theory to see if Jayden was a Healer. I'm furious he better not have been because I will have his head.

I get up to walk out to go ask Dean, but Landon stops me.” Where are you going?”

“I need to talk to Dean he said about thinking Jayden was a Healer I'm hoping he wasn't as dumb enough to try to almost kill him to find out.”

“Dean wouldn't have done this to Jayden.”

“I'm hoping you're right because if he did, I'm going to kill him.”

Before I even get to leave the room, Dean is walking in to check on Jayden. He better not have done this to him. It just wouldn't be right. Dean then walks up to Jayden “Hey how is my favorite patient doing?”

“I'm doing great. I am just a little sleepy.”

“Well, I'm just going to have you stay the night just so I can watch over you tonight to make sure everything is okay.”

“Can Lilly stay with me please?”

“Yes, if it's ok with your dad and Lilly, I don't mind.”

I look at Landon, uncertain what he wants me to say. I'm not sure if he wants me to stay since he blames me for what has happened to Jayden. I don't want to just do as I please since he is his father if he doesn't want me to stay it's fine. I can still protect him from outside. I can also sense if something is wrong.
