Hold heart, don't beat so loud, Hold heart, don't beat so loud,
For me keep your calm, as he walks out on you.
No, tears, don't you come out,
If you blind me now, I'm defeated.
No lips, don't make a sound,
Don't let him hear the break in your voice.
Hand, let go of his with ease and grace,
Don't let him bleed under your nails.
Oh lord, take off thy crown,
You're my king no more with that merciless heart.
For me keep your calm, lest he walks out on you.
No, tears, don't you come out,
If you blind me now, I am defeated.

Alayla's POV
"Wake up", a small kiss was placed gently on my lips and I smiled wrapping my arms around her waist to continue kissing her. My eyes fluttered open to meet the beautiful brown eyes of my wife.
"Good morning beautiful", I whispered lovingly and she smiled wildly.
"Good morning", she nuzzled her nose against mine. I sat up assuring the blanket covered my naked body. I looked around the room smiling again as she brushed her hand along my back the blanket laying low barely covering her bare chest.
"So what are we doing this morning", she asked me after a moment. I glazed at her for a moment and I smiled. I flipped over straddling her waist under the blanket.
"Well my wife, since we spent the last two days just in bed", I wiggled my eyebrows and she giggled. "I thought to show you around town", she smiled nodding her eyes slowly moving down my body.
"It's still tempting to just stay in bed", she murmured and I smiled kissing her chastely on the lips before hopping out the bed.
"I know but we have a shower to take", I winked at her slipping into the bathroom.
Leah's POV
I sighed happily lying in the soft bed as I heard my wife, I smiled at those words, began the shower for us to take. I sat up finally looking around the room. It had just been two days ago Alayla and I had been married in La Push. But now we were in Greece; not just anywhere in Greece but in Alayla's old town.
Alayla had been right…the Cardea had been rebuilding once again their species. Her people had rejoiced when she had returned with me that night here. They were happy to see their born leader and I had been a proud mate as everyone bowed to her.
But Alayla told them immediately she had not come to lead them; but to visit. She said she had found her place in the States and that's where she would stay. Many were sad but soon everyone rejoiced again showing us to the home Alayla had grown up in. The mansion was huge and it was ours; it had been rebuilt by the people in memory to their born leaders.
Alayla said we would keep the home here in Greece. I smiled at the thought; I had two homes, how very fancy of me to have two homes. In reality, where Alayla was would always be home; no matter what.
"Leah! Come join me", I grinned again and slipped out the bed not trying to shield my naked body as I stepped into the bathroom. Every part of me was Alayla's as she was mine.
Alayla's POV
"It's so beautiful here", Leah sighed happily as we lay in the grass. I smiled rolling on top of her.
"Just like you are my wife", I whispered kissing her gently. I felt her lips smile as we kissed one another. I felt so much joy to know my people were alive. The guilt slipped away when I came and found them here. I still mourned the lives lost but Leah had brought a new joy to my life. A joy no one could take from me, that could only be described with one word…love.
I loved Leah with all my heart for she was my heart. She was my soul and she was the reason I breathed. I would enjoy our years together because someday we will both die; I know the moment Leah dies I will pass with her. She is my spirit and I could never go on without her.
"I love you", she murmured against my lips. I replied to her words with a kiss to seal our love, lives, and fates together forever. I would forever be with Leah Clearwater and my love for her would continue on until this universe is gone.
The world changed the day I walked into La Push but it was a good change. A change…that would always be with me; Leah was my change. I would never let my Leah go…ever.
The End
