Chapter 373: Happy
Alanis
"What does that even an?’’ Beau asks
quietly. I am back in my room, getting ready to go ho with Belis. Beau doesn’t want
to go but he knows that he doesn’t have a say in this. I need to be there for my brother and now he needs
more than he ever has.
"I don’t know if saying he is depressed is the right word. I have never t a depressed vampire,’’ I explain even though I don’t even understand it fully myself.
"Cassius was depressed,’’ he suggests.
I shake my head "He was just a monster. I wouldn’t say he was depressed.’’
He laughs "It might seem that way but if you look at things vastly, you will understand that he did that because he was heartbroken. All the pain from his past—which turned into depression.’’
After everything that Cassius did to the pack, Beau still justifies his actions. He was a monster and I don’t have any remorse or guilt for the way things ended.
"Are you comparing my brother to Cassius, the murderer?’’
He raises his hands up imdiately and walks over to
"No way babe. I could never,’’ he pulls
into his arms and I look up at him. there is a smile on his face. everything from last night is forgotten because I don’t even want to dwell on the past and the fact that he knows what he did wrong is all that is important.
"I don’t want you to go,’’ he rests his head in the crook of my neck and sniffs loudly. This is a normal thing for Beau. sniffing
is like his signature affection. I have gotten so used to him taking a whiff of my scent whenever he is close to .
"I am just going for a couple of hours. You have beco so clingy,’’ I accuse him even though there is a smile on my face right now. I like clingy Beau. I like that he worries and can’t stand a day without . it just shows
how much he loves
and I will never take it for granted.
"I am not clingy; I just like you too much.’’
I pull away from him halfway and raise a brow "Just like ?’’ I ask him playfully.
He nods and then realizes my question mid nod "Fuck, no. I ant, I love you so much." he corrects himself to my satisfaction. My smile widens but I don’t let go of him. I stay in his arms because the feelings I get are a lot more than anything.
"I want to go on a trip with you. just
and you. is it possible?’’ he asks .
"When?’’
"Now?"’
I roll my eyes because he would do anything to get
to stay with him. even tempt
with a vacation. I don’t mind a vacation right now. I don’t mind being cooped up sowhere with him and no one else. It sounds like the best thing that could happen right now—especially with the pregnancy. It would help
relax.
"You are thinking about it,’’ he points out, probably from the change in my expression.
"We can’t go now. I need to sort Belis out first and then we can talk about this vacation idea.’’ He tilts his head back and I watch the veins on his neck as his Adam’s apple bobs.
"Ugh, I thought I could keep you to myself. I guess not,’’ he lets go of
and grabs the shirt that I brought out, handing it to
"co on, your brother is waiting."
I collect the shirt from him but my heart thuds as his fingers brush against mine softly. Just a touch from him and I want to give in to his demands. I want to stay in his arms for the rest of the day and forget the world.
He grabs the shirt from
again and I watch him as he helps
get it on "I don’t want you wearing a shirt right now. I would have loved to just stay in bed with you and ogle you all day but I have to let you go,’’ he starts to button the shirt.
I smile because he is being a sweetheart right now.
"Have I ever told you that I love you?’’
He finishes with my shirt and pulls
even closer to
"No, doesn’t ring a bell.’’
I smile as he touches my stomach gently. I will never get used to him cupping a feel. I still find it weird that there are two babies forming inside of . this is the most excited I have ever felt. I can’t even fathom how to handle it all.
"I love you Beau Foxly."
he leans forward and presses his lips to mine. my heart beats erratically against his chest and I feel his match to my rhythm. I don’t know what Belis going through but I don’t see myself ever getting tired of this life. I don’t see myself wanting to end this beautiful bubble that I have put myself in with Beau. he is everything I want and all I could ask for. Our babies are going to complete the joy I feel right now with him.
I leave the room with promises of coming back imdiately everything is sorted and when I get out of the house and to my car where Belis is waiting, I see a smile on his face. talking to
helped him and I can feel it.
"Thank you for this, I don’t know how I am going to talk to Dru about this. I wish she would understand.’’
"She will. When I spoke to her last night. She thought you were rejecting her. the fact that you still love her is all that will be important to her. she will understand."
He smiles as we enter the car.
"I am happy for you Lan."
I start the car because I am happier than I have ever been.
I never want to give it up.
