His Sun Her Moon

Chapter Twenty-Nine

I get up from the floor. I turn the sink on. I am washing my face. I shut my eyes listening to the sound of the water. The sound of running water always soothes me. I release a breath. I shut the water on. I dry my face. I walk to the door I touch it wondering if he is outside of it. I unlock the door.

As I open it Michael is right there, “Michael I.”

He pulls me into a hug, “No, do not say you are sorry. I should have told you the full truth about marking you.”

I hug him to me, “I love you Michael nothing could ever change my feeling for you. I love Maddox, too. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you.”

Michael kisses me, “I love you Ilona. You are an amazing woman. You are caring kind you are love. You are a friend a mother and a lover. You are all of these things and more. You have heal members of this clan. You might think you are not doing much but you are.”

Tear fall from my eyes. I smile up at him. Who would have ever thought I would love someone so much it hurts to be away from him. He has the strength to kill to destroy yet I have no fear of him. He makes me feel safe and loved.

I ask him, “When do you want to do this?”

Michael says, “You mean this?”

I nod to him, “I will just shut my eyes and picture it is us at our spot under the moon making sweet slow love.”

Michael kneels down at my feet, “I will do everything in my power to make you happy always.”

I kneel down on the floor with him, “I will do everything I can to make you happy always as long as we are together we will face anything together.”

A knock on the front door ruins our movement, “Michael, it is Zac.”

Michael growls and says, “Go away Zacharias.”

Zac says, “Michael we have a situation.”

I tell him, “We should go and see what the matter is.”

Michael signs, “Thank gods no one dare to knock on the door for five days.”

We get dress we walk to the front door, “What is the wrong?”

Zac is pale, “Zacharias, what is wrong?”

Zac says, “Someone had brutally murdered the messager of the King they left his body parts on our lands.”

Michael pins me against the wall, “Someone is trying to start a war!”

Al and Nic are with Zac, “Dad, it is bad.”

Maddox says, “I must go to the King.”

I grab his hand, “Not without me you are not.”

Maddox growls at me, “You are to stay here and care for our daughters. I will be but a day.”

I pull him down to my height, “I have been away form you for sixteen years I will not be apart from you either you take me with you or I will follow you.”

Maddox growls at me while grabbing me by the back of my neck, “You will obey me or you will not like the consequences for disobeying me. This is not up for discuss.”

I lift my chin up to him, “You will take a few members with you so I know you will return to me.”

Maddox says, “Do you think I can’t fight?”

I tell him, “I know you can fight it will put me at easy.”

Maddox says, “I will bring take two with me but I will leave Zac and Dodge here with you and our children.”
