Avery’s pov
” That was very rude you know,” I scowled as my head bobbed while the brute carried me over to his bed. He set me down gently, holding my stare.
“What was rude was my woman leaving the bed early in the morning without me knowing. I expected to wake up with you in my arms.
I rolled my eyes but I could not suppress my smile. ” You look so peaceful sleeping. You needed the rest.”
He raised a brow. ” What I need is you in my arms after not being able to for weeks.”
My eyes soften. ” The baby and I were hungry,” I pouted. ” Forgive us?”
Xade’s expression softens into one of fondness and love. He sat down beside me, leaning forward to kiss my lips softly. “Can I ever even stay mad at you?”
I grinned, my heart warming at the way his voice ripple with tenderness.” You can’t ever be mad at me. You love me way too much.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
He sighed, his forehead resting on mine. “I do. I really do.”
My belly grumbles and we both look down at my stomach. He chuckles, passing me the beef. “Are you really going to eat this raw?”
I nodded, happily tearing through the plastic. ” I’ve been craving this so badly. I blame you and your kid.” I joked, making his eyes twinkle with that playful glint that always made my heart flutter.
As long as you’ll enjoy my meat like you do this one I will take the full blame,” he chuckled when my face heat up.

“How are you feeling?” His tone was more firm now, more serious. ” Do you still hurt anywhere? Does the mark still hurt?”
I swallowed the meat before responding.” A lot better,” I admit. ” The pain is gone and I feel this sudden burst of energy I’ve never felt before.”
His eyes soften with relief. “That’s good. Means you’re healing well and your body is accepting my essence.
I nod, biting into more meat. “But you’re worried.” he suddenly utters, eyeing me. I swallowed, looking away. I should have known I wouldn’t have been able to hide my emotions from him. Xade knew me too well.
I am,” I sighed, losing my appetite as I set the rest of the meat back into the pack. “I don’t know much of this world…” I whispered. “It all just came so quickly. Everything. I don’t-I’m scared.” I confessed.
Xade sat up as I continued. “What if I can’t handle all of this? And then that man mentioned someone named Alister and I just- I don’t know Xade. What if I can’t adapt to this world? What if I remain an imposter forever?”
Xade pulled me in his arms, swooping an arm under my thighs and
