“Sort of how she lights up generally when speaking about me and me about her,” he stated softly.

Silence dominated the little home.

“Do you’re keen on him, expensive?” my mom requested, finally breaking the quiet. “If you happen to do, then as a lot as he wronged you previously, you’ll be able to work via it.”

“I can’t consider this,” I stated softly. “He had me despatched to jail, the place I may have rotted away for the remainder of my life. And also you’re saying I ought to take him again.”

My mom smiled, tilting her head. “I’m solely saying what I can inform you need us to say, expensive.”

Inhaling via my nostril in shock, I sat again into the sofa, considerate.

Did I wish to take him again?

And did I … may I presumably be in love with Damon?

The reply scared absolutely the shit out of me.

Chapter Thirty-Seven

Damon

“Damon.”

I stared straight forward on the empty crib sitting in the midst of the room.

A crib that may by no means be used. At the very least not by me. Not for my youngster. It was the one factor I’d really put collectively for them earlier than Elanya had left.

Now it was all I may take a look at. A reminder of the longer term that had as soon as appeared so vivid and cheery and filled with hope. Till my very own actions had introduced it crumbling down round me.

Hearth curled in my stomach. I strongly thought-about burning the reminder of my failure to a crisp. It and every little thing else within the room.

However I couldn’t. I didn’t. So, for an additional day, I sat there, staring, questioning if I may have saved issues. Questioning if I’d been sincere from the beginning and advised her what I knew that may have modified something.

“Damon.”

She was gone. My mate and unborn youngster. Gone from my life, and it was my very own rattling fault.

A growl broke freed from my throat, filling the room, rising in anger with every passing second as my self-loathing constructed.

“Damon!”

My head got here round because the voice lastly penetrated the darkish cloud hovering over my head.

Somebody was in my home. Not solely that, however they had been additionally standing within the room. In my youngster’s room.

“Get out!” I bellowed, on my ft immediately and charging at them. “Get out of right here!”

My dragon was in full safety mode, guarding the unused and completely empty room in opposition to anybody. It was my reminiscence field. It wasn’t for anybody else.

“Relax,” the opposite dragon stated, holding up each arms, attempting to placate me. “I’m not right here to trigger hassle.”

I closed the door behind me, my tooth bared in a snarl. “What the hell would you like?”

“Sufficient. You’ll accord me the respect due my place. Is that understood?”

The thunderous tone introduced me to a screeching halt, piercing the shroud of sleep-deprivation and anger that had wrapped me up tight, and for the primary time, I processed simply who was in my home.

“Vicek,” I stated sharply, bringing myself to consideration, my proper arm out and bent throughout my chest in salute. “My apologies, Inheritor.”
