Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 36

"We need to go," I hiss under my breath.

"Huh? Why? Kaden-" She makes to stand up and grab her bags, but I stop her before she can move an inch.

In one small second, Allie and all the bags are cradled in my arms as I speed through the store and to the closest exit.

I bolt out the doors and to my car, throwing the bags in the bag, and placing Allie in the front before speeding off.

Allie is shaking heavily now in the seat beside me, but I don't have time to stop and check her out, because through the back of my windshield, I can still see the same fuzzy figure following behind me.

I swerve into my driveway, parking the car faster than the fastest man can blink.

I throw open my door, before running over and grabbing Allie, slamming the door and locking my car in the process.

"Kaden, my stuff," Allie murmurs, glancing over my shoulder at the car. She wouldn't be worried about them if she knew someone was following us in a human mall. Of all places!

"The car's locked," I hiss lowly. "Its fine,"

Allie flinches back from my hard voice and I immediately calm down as I step into my house. I lock the door swiftly behind me, triple checking to make sure it's secure.

"I'm sorry, baby," I croon, kissing her forehead. "I'm just worried and on edge,"

"Why?" she whispers, looking up. "What happened?"

I sigh, rubbing my temple. "Are you tired? Do you want to sleep?"

She eyes me carefully. "Don't try and change the subject," she commands. "Tell me,"

Groaning loudly, I give in. "Fine. But I'm not talking about this here," I start walking towards the staircase.

"Where are we going?" Allie asks.

For some reason, my brain catches up with my feet, and I stop, changing courses all together. "My office," I mumble.

She sighs. "I'm not a weak little baby anymore. I know since I've grown so fast you might still want to treat me like I am, but I'm not, Kaden. I can watch out for myself,"

"I'm not trying to treat you like a a baby, Allie," I breathe. "I just want you safe: however it has to be done,"

She glances up at me from where she's burrowed in my chest again. "Nothing bad has ever happened to me, Kaden. I'll be fine without you constantly micromanaging me,"

With her words, something in my mind snaps. She just doesn't understand.

I pull away from her, partially pushing her in the process. She stares at me, wide eyed. I'm never done something like that before. Not to her.

"You just don't get it, Allie," Her eyes grow even bigger at me using her real name. "You think nothing really bad has happened to you, but you're wrong. You were in a coma for almost two weeks, Allie, and I had to sit there with you, wondering if my mate would ever wake up again.

"I had to watch you be in a catatonic state again, after I marked you. And then, you were just gone. You were taken away from me. And I know that for some reason you can't remember that, and your think that I left you, but that isn't what happened at all. You were taken, and I had no idea what to do to get you back.

"You don't understand how horrible that was for me. To not know when I'd see my mate again, or if she was okay, or where she was. It was terrifying to think that I'd never see you again, and even when I did, I still felt like I lost you. You didn't remember me for what felt like forever. You were just, gone,"
