Her Alpha Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Ray continued to avoid mentioning his daddy for a couple of more days. Did his best to not even think about his other parent because it hurt too much. But in the end the whole situation got too much on him.He'd had a lot of nightmares since his daddy's accident. They haunted him almost every night. Something about the one he had one particular dark night made it worse than others.In the horrible dream he and his papa were in a forest, where thick fog began to engulf them. Ray was terrified and did his best to keep up with the man walking in front of him. In the end he found himself standing paralyzed while the fog swallowed his papa."Daddy?" There was no response and fear squeezed his chest mercilessly. Tears filled his eyes. "Daddy? Daddy!" Only silence answered him.Ray woke up crying, with his entire body covered in cold sweat. His heart hammered while his wide eyes darted around, trying to convince his mind that he was safe. That he was home and his daddy was safe, too. He want

When she pulled her a hug he clung to her tightly. It made her feel a little less like the world was falling apart but she retracted from the comfort quickly. She was still shaken from the mild panic attack he'd have to postpone dealing with until later. Resolute to push through and put one foot in front of the other Rose headed out of the room with her sister following her. She was putting on a coat when something occurred to her. "Thank you, for everything. How did you know that I was having a...?" She didn't want to say it oud loud."You were shouting to your phone." Monika went on before she could panic. "You know the boys; they wouldn't wake up to a bomb going off when they're tired enough. They're fast asleep, I checked." After her reassurance she focused on searching through his coat's pockets, so she didn't see her frown. "What are you doing?"Rose's brows furrowed while she spun around wildly. Her head whirred and her hands were shaking along with her whole body. "My car keys

Ray couldn't stand not being basically glued to his daddy once he got to see the man again. When his papa eventually needed to lay down the boy did the same and closed his eyes. That way he didn't have to see the room they were in and he could even ignore the smell of a hospital. With his daddy right beside him, sensing his mommy close and listening to Max's babbling he could imagine that they were home.This was just another lazy movie-evening with them huddled together on the floor. (Because the couch was too small for them and their movie treats.) There were no car accidents, missing limbs, seizures, awful injuries and social workers threatening to take him and Max away, terrifying phone calls or an achingly empty seat at the kitchen table. There was no fear, stress and longing, his daddy's eyes weren't suspiciously red too often. They were together and it made all the bad things that'd been weighing on Ray so badly he could barely breathe go away.His head resting against his dadd

A few days later Rose couldn't watch, or she would've risked losing control over her emotions as Sebestian said 'bye' to their friends and family. Ray and Max were the last ones to take their turn. Rose's heart broke at Max's inconsolable sobs and at how Ray obviously fought to keep himself together.Once everyone else had left Rose concentrated on Sebestian. Despite the necessary separation looming above them, it felt good to see her husband dressed in the man's own clothes instead of a hospital gown. It gave her hope that there was a way out of this nightmare, and she clung to that with all her might. Just like she clung to Sebestian when they hugged as though the world was ending.It took a very long time before either of them was ready to start the journey. The drive to their destination lasted even longer than it should've because being in a car triggered Sebestian' motion sickness her still recovering head caused him. But eventually a beautiful, luxurious looking mansion was in

During his time at the rehabilitation center, Sebestian had been focused on the more physical things he lost. Such as his amputated leg, all the scars he now had, the possibility of seizures that'd haunt him for the rest of his life, the slight problems with speech that'd likely stay with him. He avoided thinking about his accidentally revealed marital status as much as possible. Now that he was home there was no escape and the realization that there were different kind of losses, too, hit him so hard he struggled to handle the blow.Before... Even during the roughest days - even when he and Rose fought, even when Max had his temper tantrums - Sebestian always felt like he belonged. Even with all his emotional baggage and faults he had a family, he was finally home after feeling adrift for almost his entire life. Now he was adrift once more, attempting to grab onto something that seemed to have moved on and drifted away so that he could brush the surface but not get a proper hold.He
