Telling my story again was difficult. Knowing it would be chronicled for eternity made it even harder. While | wasn’t pleased that


    Liam needed me in hisp, | was d to be there, wrapped in his arms while | told my story.


    I''m not sure why Ailduin is having the effect on Liam that he is. He has never shown any jealousy with Clint. But, with Ailduin,


    he’s acting like I’m going to leave him, to choose Ailduin over him.


    When he pulls me into our room, | know he needs to reconnect. | don’t want him to ever feel like anyone can take his ce in my


    heart, my soul or my life. There is no one else but him. Those words we say to each other, ‘you and me’, those words are


    everything.


    As soon as he closes the door, | pull him into my arms. His buries his head in my neck. “Liam.”


    “| can’t lose you. Maybe you don’t feel it, but he feels something, and | can’t lose you.”


    | pull back, taking his face in my hands. “You won''t, not ever. Don’t you feel it?”


    He won''t look me in the eye. I’ve never seen my mate look so vulnerable as he does right now.


    “Feel what?”


    | decide to try something. If | can push my aura out, maybe | can push this feeling ofplete and total love out to my mate. If


    he’s so caught up in his own head that he can’t feel it through the bond, then maybe | can push it on him. | take a moment,


    collecting myself, letting myself feel my love for Liam, my trust, my admiration for this man and then | push it at him. | wrap it


    around him, enveloping him in a bubble of my love.


    His quick intake of breath tells me that it''s working. “That’s what | feel for you Liam. No one else. No one can ever take your


    ce. You are the other half of my soul. You brought me back from a ce where | never thought I’d be happy again.”


    He buries his face into my neck again, lifting me up and moving us to the sitting area in the room. | keep the emotions wrapped


    around us as | continue. “I know that we’ve both had so much loss in our lives. | know that the people that should have been


    there to love you weren''t. But I’m not going anywhere. I’m not going to leave you Liam.”

    He pulls back, looking at me with tears in his eyes. “I can’t lose you.”


    “And you never will. You are mine and | am yours. I’m not going anywhere.”


    His kiss starts soft, tender, but quickly turns into something needy, a desire to reconnect and reaffirm our connection and love.


    He moves us to the bed,


    stripping our clothes off and burying himself inside me. | can only hold on to him and his


    chants of ‘mine get louder and stronger as he pushes me over the crest again and again, until finally, as I’m on the verge of yet


    another orgasm, he growls it loudly and sinks his canines into my mating mark. My body’s response is instantaneous, my


    orgasm so strong, | see stars and feel the ckness closing in on me, pulling me under.


    When | wake, I’mying on his chest. He has one hand in my hair, rubbing my scalp, the other wrapped tightly around me. | can


    see from the window that it’s now dark out. | look up at him. “What time is it?”


    “It''ste. Are you okay?”


    | take a quick inventory. | feel great.


    “Yes, | feel wonderful.” | sit up on my elbow. “But what about you, Liam? How are you feeling?”


    He leans up and kisses my nose. “I’m better. I’m sorry about that. | think maybe my emotions were in such turmoil that | knocked


    you out.”


    | smirk up at him. “TKO by orgasm is my kind of defeat. But seriously, are you okay? Are we okay?”


    He takes his hand, running it across my cheek. “We''re perfect. As long as you’re with me, | can do and face anything.”


    “Good, because I’m starving. Go face whoever you need to and get us something to eat while | shower.”


    His chest rumbling and body shaking with hisughter is music to my ears. “Yes, my little angel, let me feed you.”


    As | go to get off the bed, he smacks my ass, hard enough to leave a handprint. | turn around and give him a soft growl. | watch


    as his eyes darken before | head to the shower. | take my time, knowing he''ll be rushing to figure out food and getting back to me


    to finish what he started.


    I''m not disappointed.

    The next morning, we all meet at breakfast. Ailduin has a n for the day and has several tests that he wants toplete. Most


    of them center around me and Cara, but some include Clint as well to judge which grigts are strengthening because of the


    reincarnation and which may just be gifts that she and | have developed over time or with her being the first ever Guardian born.
