"Bossy... I think she's awake..." I hear whispering as I snuggle closer to my heat source.

"Ssssh, keep your voice lower, she needs her sleep." A shiver runs down my body as vibrations from said heat source rumbles under my cheek.

"But but I wanna play wit Red!" Said heat source rumbles again and let me tell you, it was getting real annoying. I frown and slap the rumbling heat source, smiling wistfully when I realised the heat source felt smooth and hard under my skin.

"Bossy, why'd she swap you?" Said heat source rumbles again that I couldn't help but open my eyes and glare at it.

To my mortification, it was Vos. Vos in all his half-naked godly, Adonis, flawless beauty.

"Good morning." I purse my lips as I feel the heat rush from my stomach to my cheeks. Vos had one arm spread out across the pillow where I laid while the other was lazily slung across one of Kelly's huge unicorn stuffed toys.

"Hi, Red!" Swallowing my embarrassment, I turn to Kelly and open my arms wide so she could climb into my lap; which she did wordlessly.  "I didn't seen you for a long long long time!" I laugh at her cute grammar and squeeze her close to me.

"I know right? It's horrible!" I feign offence and put my hand over my mouth for effect. Kelly widens her eyes and nods her head making her curls bounce every bob she makes. I squeeze her to me again and kiss her fluffy cheeks.

"Don't I get one?" I pointedly ignore Vos' words and lay Kelly on the bed as I blow bubbles on her stomach. Kelly's laugh flittered through out the neat room so musically that I couldn't help but wish that this was my family. I allowed myself to imagine Vos as my mate and Kelly as our daughter; I allowed myself a second of that fantasy but no longer than a second because I don't want to be too disappointed.

I had to face the truth. My mate chose someone else and I may never have the family I've always secretly wanted.

You can be the doting godmother who travels the world!

I smile at my self proclamation and stare at Kelly. She's so happy and amazing, I pray to whoever is up in the sky that she'd never have to go through what I'm going through. This child needs to be protected at all costs and I couldn't help but promise that to myself even though I probably won't even be in Kelly's future.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I turn to Vos who seemed to be already watching me for quite a while. His intense stare burning into my skin as he observes my face not so discreetly.

"Are you sure you want access to my deepest darkest thoughts?" I ask as I help Kelly get down from the bed as she runs to one of her toys on the carpeted floor.

Vos smiles slowly and pushes himself up on his elbows; the way his muscles moved with his actions weren't lost on me. I gulp as I push unwanted thoughts down. "Are you saying you think of your darkest thoughts when you look at me?"

I blink at him as I process his words and slowly, ever so slowly, the heat on my cheeks that vanished with Kelly's distraction came back full force but now, I feel the heat stay in the pit of my stomach
And travel actively towards my neck then up to my cheeks. I was very flustered. So like any classy woman, I throw a pillow at his face and run out of the room, after giving Kelly a kiss on the forehead.

You ran! Now you look guilty!

I slap myself mentally and stop short just as I realise that I ran out of Vos' room all disheveled and barefoot. My room is two floors above and in the opposite wing, I am way too far, too early in the morning to be displaced from my room. So instead of risking it and running into my mother, I run to the direction of the room I knew by heart.

                          •            •           •
"Link." I knock three times, no answer, so I  knock again.

"Link." I repeat, the cycle, with a louder voice but still, no answer.

"Link!" I knock again and finally, the door opens to reveal my angry looking friend. If there's one thing I know, we both hate mornings the only difference is, he tolerates it better than I do.

"Hi." I squeak as he wraps me in a bear hug; he probably realised I'm back from the dead. 

"You. Never fucking do that again." I giggle as relief washes over me. I honestly thought Link would cast me away. "You have no idea how worried we all were."

I hug him back and nod my head. They probably thought I was kidnapped again.

"Well, I'm here now so it doesn't matter." I pull away from him and give him the biggest smile I could muster.

"Speaking of being here, Why are you up this early?" He raises one eyebrow and look away, not exactly knowing what to think.

"Um... I kind of..." I look around for any distraction and my eyes land on the suitcases and boxes open inside his room. I frown and push him aside as I take in the state of his room; his walls were stripped off the photos I placed and his desk was almost empty. I turn around only to see him watching me carefully.

"Link."

"Red."

"What is the meaning of this?" I flail my arms around and gesture to the boxes, my heart beating faster and my blood starts rushing to my ears.

"I have to go home." I open my mouth then close it again as I try to organise my thoughts.

"Home? You are home!" I kick one of his boxes and fall to the floor. My light chest feeling heavy once again.

"Red, Melanie's trial was delayed and no one knows how long it will be..." I close my eyes immediately understanding the reason.

"And you have to go home to act as Alpha because your useless brother can't leave her here." He sucks in a breath and settles in-front of me.

"Duty calls." He brings up his hand to wipe the tears that have already fallen from my eyes.

"I didn't even know I could hate your brother more than I already do." I laugh as I see an eager expression on his face as he nods his head.

"I didn't either."

"When do you leave?" I ask in a tiny voice, dreading the answer.

"This afternoon." Without a thought in my head and throw myself at Link and hug him tight, not caring that his doors were still wide open and anyone can see us. Because of Abe I lost someone again. First my wolf, now my Link.
