she eyed me suspiciously from where she stood "oh your serious" she replied walking over to me "what happened?" she asked. I hesitated but told her what my mom had told me, she stayed quiet for a moment "wow...do you want a soulmate?" she asked I nodded "nothing has to come of it.... soulmates can be platonic" I spoke "no callum you have.... to at least try?" she spoke looking at me I could see a light blush on her face "are you ok?" I asked she didn't respond "rayla" I spoke again "i- I like you callum a lot I just never said anything because im your guard" she looked down "look rayla I like you too a lot but let's....my parents" I spoke she nodded.

Callum's pov
It had been a long few month...actually almost a year now rayla wasn't my guard well she was but she was my girlfriend now, only we kept it a secret from basically everyone. Rayla was currently asleep wrapped in my arms. I smiled letting her sleep but my smile quickly faded when I heard soft sobs coming from the moonshadow elf next to me "rayla?" I whispered no response 'ah so she was crying in her sleep...' I felt bad for her but the only thing I could think to do was pull her closer to me "it's ok rayla" I muttered kissing the back of her head as she sobbed in her sleep. "im here" I whispered running a hand through her hair to calm her down not that it helped but I held her close me "its ok" I whispered after a few minuets she quickly sat up breathing heavily as tears fell down her face "oh rayla" i whispered wiping her tears away with my thumb "callum..." she spoke quietly "it's ok you don't have to talk about it." I spoke. She leaned against me "im sorry" she whispered "for what?" I asked "that you had to see me like this" was her response "rayla you have emotions just like the rest of us do and those feelings are valid" I replied pulling her into a hug and running a hand through her hair. "my father says im not supposed to cry" she muttered looking at me "well your father is incapable of feeling emotions"I spoke kissing her forehead.
