We all nod in agreement.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Apollo
Seraphina tossed and turned more than usual last night. I did my best to soothe her, but I know the stress of today is a lot for her. She even shifted sometime during the night. Luckily her snake didn’t bite me…I mean nibble.
“I feel like I didn’t sleep.” She sighs as we lay in bed.
“After today you’ll feel better. The stress of everything will hopefully start to get better for you. I hate that I can’t fix this for you.”
“You’ve done so much for me already. Because of you, I’m going to be able to avenge my family. You don’t know how much that means to me. And now my brothers and I have a home. That’s something none of us thought would happen.”
“You know that even if you weren’t my mate, you’d all have in Lake Renegade. And I would’ve chosen you. I know that with every beat of my heart.”
“I would’ve chosen you too. And I’m sorry I got jealous the other night at the restaurant.”
“Don’t ever be sorry. If it was me? I wouldn’t have been so quiet, I probably would’ve punched the guy out.”
Seraphina laughs. “I wanted to punch her, my snake suggested we bite her. Non-lethal of course…”
I laugh. “I love you and your snake.”
“I wonder if we can find out what they did with my parents and the twins bodies. Do you think they’d keep records for all of that?”
“They might. Whichever group gets the office area knows to grab everything they can. We will see what we can find out about your family.”
“Thank you.” She says softly.
We get up and start getting ready, I can hear everyone moving around in their rooms.
“We’re having breakfast first, right?” Adonis asks as he barges through our room.
“Did you forget how to knock? What if we were naked?” I punch my brother in the arm.
“Ow. That’s my pastry eating arm.” He frowns as he punches me back.
“Did someone say pastry?” Ares asks as he and Sakura come in.
“Why is everyone in our room?” I squint at my brothers.
“Because your room in between us and the rest of the family you dumbass.” Ares laughs.
“There’s front doors, asshole.”
“Really? First thing in the morning? I never really realized how quiet it’s gotten at home with only two of you living there.” Baba sighs at us as he’s coming through the shared door.
My brothers and I stare at each other and start laughing.
“Come on, baba. You know you miss us.” Ares says as baba is shaking his head no.
“We have time to grab a fast breakfast and then head over to relieve the guys. We need to be ready when Matilda and Paul leave.” Baba says to all of us.
We head down to the restaurant to grab a fast breakfast. I make sure to grab a few extra sandwiches for the guys that have been on watch and one for me later. You never know when you’ll need a pick me up.
“Did I see you put those sandwiches in your pocket again?” Eros asks me.
“Yep. It’s not like I have other options to hold them.”
