I can’t even begin to imagine what would go through my mind if Adrastos was ever kidnapped or killed. I have to visit the mother’s of those children. To apologize for being so wrapped up in my life that I neglected my duty and because of that, they lost their children.
One day here is ten years in the heavenly realm. I could have prevented this, stopped it if it occurred before I could intervene.
I’m busy stressing about my true mate being on earth, trying to make Xander believe that we deserve this time together and getting to know my family. There are far worse things happening to my wolves than my love life.
“Oh no. What happened?” Xander walks in to find me holding Adrastos tightly.
I let him in my mind. Seeing those babies in that dirty dungeon, the place was cold and they had no blankets. Goddess knows if they’ve been fed.
I let him feel the guilt that is currently eating at me, gnawing at my insides. The fact that I was told to go to that heavenly school and I threw a bratty tantrum because my biological dad and mother lied to me.
“Hey. Hey. None of that. You didn’t know but now you do. Your job now is to never let that happen again.” Xander says to me.
“You are going to take this time to cry, let it all out and tomorrow, you go to that new school and give it your all. What’s three days without you? Adrastos will be fine with me and your mother will stay behind to watch him. Besides, Adrastos has two big ass wolves watching over him 24/7 so I don’t think you have anything to worry about.” Xander says to me and I smile with tears on my face.
How could I not be with this man?
He is perfect and not just in the looks department, this man just knows what to say to me and how to comfort me.
Xander gently takes a sleeping Adrastos from me and puts him in his cot. I’m glad Xander knows today I need my baby in my room, he can go back to the nursery tomorrow.
“Come. Let’s take a bath together and relax, you’ve had a draining day.” Xander tells me as he takes my hand and leads me to the bathroom taking the baby monitor with us.
I love this man. I love how he is so respectful, so patient and so kind. I love the way he loves me, the way he pays attention and even though he’s having his doubts about us right now with a mate somewhere, he never ceases to be the man he promised me he would be.
He is always the man I need and that is why I choose him. He gives me stability, love and security. I will never question his intentions because he makes them clear, his honesty is it for me.
