Scarlett:

I smiled down at my daughter who was asleep in my arms.

Having breastfed her, she was holding my hand in hers, sleeping peacefully right over my beating heart. I got up from the edge of the bed and gently put her in her crib, wanting her to sleep.

Thankfully, she has been having more nights where she would sleep for a full night, and now, we didn’t even need to worry about her waking up every hour or so to either want to be fed or changed Yes, sure she needed changing. but she mostly didn’t wake up through it much.

“If she needs anything…”

“Scarlett, the nurses know what to do, neonata” Alexander said, stopping me, shaking his head at me. He knew that I was more worried about this than I could let out; however, I couldn’t help it. This would be the first night that I would be away from her side in months, mostly because I could barely leave the house after being injured, and also because I wanted to make it up to her for not spending as much time with her when she really needed me.

Me being pregnant and carrying her inside me was not the best experience, and I didn’t think that I did the best job at that. The number of things that I have missed, and I had to admit, had it been for Alexander finding me on the night that I was giving birth to her, I believe that I would have lost her that night, and that was not something that I wanted to think of anymore. Thankfully, my relationship with Alexander was also growing stronger, to some extent. The two of us have agreed to at least try and throw our past behind us. We knew that we both couldn’t delete or erase it, it wasn’t that simple. However, we both knew that eating one another alive for it wouldn’t change anything at this point. We had a daughter to take care of, and we had a life to live, and we both knew that we only lived once, therefore, choosing to live our life while fighting, arguing, or constantly being upset was not something that we wanted to do, especially not at this point.

“I know that, but you know that this would be the first time she’s left alone throughout a whole night” I said, pouting my lips. Alexander smiled and nodded at the nurses to leave us alone. He stayed quiet for a few seconds, motioning for me to sit on the bed. The bed the two of us started sharing a lot more lately. I knew that it was only a matter of time before we left this room; however, I couldn’t help but dread the idea of not waking up in his arms anymore. I blamed it on the fact that I got too used to being in his arms, and that was not something that I did not want to think of right now.

“Scarlett, this would be the first time you shift in months. You owe it to yourself to at least have fun” he said, and I sighed. I knew that he was right. My wolf hasn’t allowed me to shift since we were rejected. Mostly because I was pregnant at first and a pregnant wolf didn’t shift, then she was just as broken and depressed as I was. Therefore, to know that she was willing to have me shifting tonight, I knew that I didn’t want tolniss it.

“I know, Alexander, believe me, I want more than anything to be able to shift. Hell, I missed it so much, but this would be the first time away from her, and I am just worried…”

“The nurses would be by her side throughout the whole night, and not one, or two, all four will be beside her, ensuring that she wouldn’t need anything. Plus, the two of us would be able to feel her if she grew irritated, and we are not going to be far. One different feeling and we will be back by her side, ensuring that she is fine” Alexander said, assuring me. I nodded, and he extended his arm, hesitating for a second, before wrapping it around me, pulling me to his chest. I smiled and laid my head on it, allowing myself to listen to his calm heartbeat. I had to admit, this was something that I was more than happy about, and it was something that I wouldn’t change for the world. And despite the anger that I still felt toward Luna Katlyn for threatening me the way that she has, I was sure to stay quiet about it, not wanting to stir the man against his mother.

“You know, I wish the two of us were always like this” Alexander said, making me frown in confusion. I pulled away from his arms to look him in the eye and he sighed before pinching the bridge of his nose I don’t mean to compare you right now therefore, please don’t get me wrong here”

“Get you wrong, in what exactly?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Well, I know that the two of us were always close, very close, but I was stupid enough to listen to someone who separated the two of us, and that is something that was very stupid of me I know that I lost a lot, but I also know that despite choosing her because of her rank, I lost someone who brought me peace” Alexander said, making my heart skip a heat. I knew that he was never comfortable with Delilah. The man was in constant fight with his parents who didn’t want her as his mate It wa something that everyone knew, hell, even Delilah knew it; however, the woman was strong and determined enough to fight for what she wanted regardless of what everyone said.

“Alexander, you were happy with Delilah, regardless of how the two of you ended, the woman tried her best to satisfy you…”

“Sexually, Scarlett” Alexander said, stopping me “but I don’t remember when was the last time the two of us had a proper conversation. Yes, I do know that she was there for me through a lot, and I know that our relationship started out being beautiful. Hell, I don’t even know how we ended up being the way that we were. But I know that in the end, it was her trying to get in my bed, and when she was denied that, the two of us were just off”

“Maybe because you no longer wanted her around?” I asked, and he sighed but nodded.

“I realized a little too late that losing you was the worst mistake that I have done, and I know that you might think that I am being cliché right now, and I wouldn’t blame you for wanting to slap me in the face for being too ‘sweet’ or ‘affectionate’, but it is the reality of things. I lost a part of myself when I lost you, and I broke you for it. I know that I have apologized, but I also know that you haven’t forgiven me for it” Alexander said, making me frown “yes, you have the heart of a fucking angel who is still sitting in front of me without bothering to spit on my face, and you’re giving me the time to listen when I know that any other female might have ended up breaking my nose after everything that we’ve been through”

“Alexander, where are we going with this conversation? You know for fact that the two of us are no longer the ‘enemies’ that we grew to be for a long while, and you know that I stayed to be your mate not to judge you. Yes, the two of us are going to be taking a longer route to that, but 1 believe that at least we are making progress. The two of us have started sharing meals, we’ve even opened up to one another. You go to work, come back, and the two of us talk, like adults, rather than fight and argue every other word, and that is something that is very important” I said, taking his hand in mine. Alexander looked down at my hand for a second, then at me, giving me a gentle smile that reached his eyes, and returning the smile, then I ran my finger over his hand “yes, we had one of the roughest paths that could be taken. Yes, the two of us can end up never forgetting about it. But that rough path gave us our beautiful daughter. Yes, she didn’t come in the way that you would have hoped for her to come, and yes, the two of us fought a lot after she was born; however, I know that it is also my fault that you haven’t accepted her”

It was something that I came to conclusion with when I was once in bed and saw him waking up to her cries as he let me sleep. The man was genuinely sweet with his daughter, caring even. The main issue that was there was the fact that the man was in pain that he missed her wowing inside me. I came back one day, carrying and giving birth to a child, HIS child, a child that I would have hidden and probably lost, if he hadn’t found me the other night, and as much as I teaied losing her, forcing myself to hide her existence from him, I knew that I could have lost her either way if not for him.

“I am guessing that the two of us have wronged one another more than we could simply just choose to…

“Why does it matter now?” I asked, stopping him “we have been living together for two months…” “Because I heard mom speaking to you, and though you have no idea how much I respect and appreciate you not coming to talk to me about it, I hate the fact that you took that pain on your own” Alexander said, making my heart drop to my stomach. My heart raced against my chest and sighing, Alexander pinched the bridge of his nose for a second “I know that it is not something that you should have been through, and her threatening you with our baby is not her right; but I am still thankful that you respected the fact that she is the pack’s ex Luna, my mother, and your daughter’s grandmother enough not to respond”

“Alexander, your mum raised me up as a kid, and yes, despite her taking advantage of me for years, I knew that she was doing it because she took it upon herself to take care of a daughter that was not hers” I said, looking him in the eye “I did not appreciate her threat, I will admit that much; but that did not mean that I was going to cross my limits with her or that I was going to set the two of you against one another”

I know, it was something that I realized when I saw you walking out of the house with Nasia in your arms earlier…”

“Good” I said, stopping him. I took his hand in mine, gently squeezing it “now, can we please go out and check on the pack members? The two of us still need to get ready for our shift, and us talking about this could end up being done by midnight”

Alexander chuckled and nodded, his smile reaching his eyes, making my heart skip a beat “alright, neonata. Let’s get going then…”
