Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 15

But right now, she does. And I'll just have to hope that she'll stay that way even when she's older and not a baby that needs me.

But Allie's next words melt away all of my doubts and I realize Once again how much I love this little girl.

"He can't take me from you. No one can. I love you, Kaden," Her words are strong, and I have no doubt that She means them whole heartedly.

I crush her gently to me. "I love you too, baby girl. I always will,"

She smiles against my chest. "Kaden?"

"Yes, baby?"

"How come every time you touch me, I get shocked?"

"Kaden?"

"Yes, baby?"

"How come every time you touch me, I get shocked?"

I stare back at my little mate, a little shocked. I didn't know she could even feel the mate bond yet. I mean, I can, but she's so small, I'm surprised she can. How do I answer that question?

"Ummm..." I stammer over my words. I don't know how to explain this without sounding like some creepy guy who's mated to a baby.

Allie looks interested, curious, and confused. I know that I can't get out of this; I'll have to answer her.

"Do you know?" Allie asks, an underlying tone of shock in her voice. To her, I must seem like a know everything.

I nod my head, still faintly dazed. "Yes, baby girl, I do. I just don't know how to explain it,"

Allie looks thoughtful. "Okay, well... Just don't then," she suggests.

This snaps me out of my daze. Is she telling me not to explain anymore? Allie still practically has the mind of a small one-year-old and all toddlers do is ask questions. I should know, I used to spend all of my time helping my mother in the pack nursery. So if Allie is supposed to have the mind of a baby and should be curious, why is she taking back her question?

"What?" I ask.

Allie shrugs and presses herself to me, forcing me to hold her tighter. Not that I would ever object.

"If you don't know how to explain, its okay if you don't answer," She buries her head in my neck. "Just tell me when you know,"

Allie says all of this so calmly and its hard for me to believe that technically Allie is only a few months old. But you would never know it if you looked at her, or if you just heard her voice.

"When I was dropping Allie off my dad called. He said Micah got out of the cells you guys put him in,"

They both looked shocked and move to say something, but I stop them with a glare and a raise of my hand.

"I'm not mad at you guys, it's not exactly your fault,"

My wolf scoffs inside my head. I ignore him.

"But dad called my and said that Micah got away. I sent out search groups, but no one has found any sight of him yet. But they did find something else that I'm pretty sure he left for me..."

They both lean forward expectedly, waiting for my answer.

I reach into my pocket and pull out a small rip of paper that has been folded and refolded over and over again. Its covered in dirt and reeks of Micah's revolting scent.

"Its a note, and he didn't sign it or address it, but it smells like him, and it seems to be meant for me," I explain.

"What does it say?" Jack asks.

I hold out of my hand with the paper in it and Jack takes it from me. I watch as he unfolds and reads the small piece of paper, a growl forming low in his throat.
