“When the sky-claw pulled you into his mouth and flew away, I thought my world was over. I put my blade to my breast and was ready to follow you to the next world.” I swallow, then nod. “I did not do that for Zalah.” His voice is achingly gentle. “I would not do that for anyone else. But you, Jo-see, I would follow.”

ugh i love him so much he’s my favourite 🥲🥲

“So what are we waiting for? An engraved invitation?” “A…what?” His brow furrows. “That’s human for ‘stick it in already’.” Haeden’s eyes narrow. “It is?” “Close enough.”

LMAO

“I will keep you safe,” I repeat. My thumbs smooth over her rounded cheeks. “You are mine. That is all you need to know. If you are taken, I will come after you. If you are sick, I will never leave your side. If you leave, I will follow. You will never be without me, because I will come after you. Know this.” I brush my fingers over her breast, where her khui thrums. “Feel this and know it to be true.”

“I need to ask a favor,”

“Anything,” I rasp. She could ask for my arm and I would gladly remove it from my body.

UGHHH

The way he’d fed me bits of meat with such intensity, like his entire world centered upon feeding me and taking care of me.

🥲

“I hope you brought plenty of that lee-lee root, because my hands are killing me.” “Killing you?” I rush to her side, dropping my burdens. “You are dying? Let me see them!”

HAHAHA

Just once, I wish she would look back. I wish she would see me, waiting on the horizon for her. Waiting to take care of her. To comfort her. To be her man and her mate and whatever else she needs. But she never turns.

She is small and soft and full of smiles that have genuine joy. Someday, I would like for those smiles to be aimed at me.

AWWWHH

“Are you men-tahl?” She hisses the words at me and then looks around as if to make sure no one else has seen. “I’m not sleeping with you!” Sleeping? She truly does not know how a kit is made. “We will not be sleeping. When a male takes a female—“ She presses her small fists to her forehead. “Ohmigahd. I know how babies are made, you twit!”

LMAOOOO

I will take her glares. I will take anything but her tears.

i love him already stop
