“Word of how he died does not leave here.”
They all nod. “He needed to die, he could have gone after any of our women,” Randall says.
Lucas and Silas stay behind to get rid of the body. I want to go home to my family. I put my clothes back on and run home.
I stand on the porch, looking through the window. She is asleep on the couch, holding our son and daughter. She is beautiful, on the outside and all the way to her soul. She is an angel here on Earth.
She is loving and fearless, and she is all mine.
I push open the door, and Brantley gets up off the other end of the couch. He picks up Aiden. “Do you need my help?”
I shake my head. “Go on home. Jackson should be getting back.”
Brantley walks out the door, shutting it quietly behind him. I pick up Hope and place her in her new bed, which arrived earlier today. I tuck her in for her nap. Then I walk back down and bring Axel upstairs to his bed.
She is still asleep when I get back downstairs. I push her hair out of her face. Her eyes open. “Hey, baby,” she says. Myfucking heart skips a beat at those words. She turns me into a pussy in a split second.
“Come on, Moon, let me get you bathed.” I pick her up, and her legs go around my waist. I carry her into the bathroom and set her on the counter while I get her clothes and turn on the water.
“How did everything go?”
“He is dead and will never bother you again.”
Her whole body relaxes. “Thank you, Pha.”
I kiss her forehead, breathing in her scent. She brings comfort to me too. She gives me the strength to be the alpha I need to be, and she is my home. My life truly did not begin until she came into it.
I lift her off the counter, and I step into the shower with her. The water hits the top of her hair, and she throws her head back and lets it wash over her face.
She is too fucking sexy.

His fingers move through my folds and I hiss, my body turning to fire in a split second. “You need me?” he asks, and I bite my lip and nod. He finishes rinsing me off; then he steps out of the shower and sets me down on the counter. He winks as he hits his knees in front of me.
There is nothing hotter than seeing him on his knees, grabbing my thighs. He slides me to the edge of the counter,and I close my eyes at the first lick. “How I have missed this,” I say out loud without an ounce of shame.
He chuckles and pulls me harder against him. I throw my head back, letting my back rest against the mirror, and just hang on for the ride.
“Come for me, Moon,” he growls, nipping my clit gently.
I come apart, my whole body shaking. My arms give out and I lean back even further. I’m in the most uncomfortable position, but I can’t bring myself to care. He laughs at the sight of me, picks me up, and pulls a shirt over my head. He grabs a pair of sweats and helps me put them on.
“Thank you for taking care of me.”
“I will always take care of you.”
My stomach flips, and I face plant onto his chest. He carries me into our room and lays me gently in bed, paying special attention to my foot. He climbs in the other side, wraps his arm around me, and places his head at the crook of my neck, breathing in my scent.
“Seeing you hurt, lying there. That shit will forever be branded in my mind.” I can hear the pain in his voice.
“I am sorry I scared you. Hopefully, nothing like this happens again.”
“It won’t.”
I laugh at his tone, kiss his cheek, and bury my hand in his hair. It still amazes me that I get to see this side of him. He portrays himself a certain way in front of the others, but not me. I get the softness and tenderness; he is so gentle with me. I hope that one day my kids get to experience the same thing.I want them to have the best, and I want them to have the kind of love that I have.
“How will you handle Hope finding a mate someday?” I tease.
