His Light

Blood

Alex Pov

When I woke up, I felt Lilac's arms tightly wrapped around my body, she was sleeping deeply. I was so tired because of everything that has been going on, and I was always away, and didn't even realize that I was just neglecting her the whole time. I was so blinded by my anger because I failed to protect her, which made me let her down even more, while she was the one who still put all of her trust into me.

But I couldn't just sit around doing nothing, knowing that James made it out alive. I felt full of rage.

James Reeve needs to pay for what he has done and getting involved with Aiden, and I will follow him to the depts of hell even if it takes me years to do that.

Thankfully Lilac, managed to kill Aiden, and I told my men to bury him somewhere in the woods. That asshole – after all he has done – didn't deserve the kindness to be buried somewhere decent; he just deserves the worst. He was a brother I never wanted nor needed in my life. He started my misery and caused my mother's death the moment he took his first breath.

I was so worn out, but last night, coming home earlier something I never would have done, was actually what I needed the most. I've been trying to give Lilac all the space she needed and kept her at home with Rowan and a lot of guards around, but I was foolish enough not to realize that this wasn't doing any good to her.

While I stayed away, I found plenty of Aiden's dogs and James', and I questioned them and killed them in the end.

But with Lilac everything seems easier, she's lighting up the darkness inside of me. She makes my dark side turn colorful.

While I keep blood on my hands, Lilac keeps my heart safely in her hands.

I slowly and carefully put Lilac's hands away from my body, trying not to wake her and cautiously move out of bed while she was sleeping peacefully. But just as I moved, she grabbed my arm, moaning sleepily.

"Stay" she whispered; her eyes closed. And I began laughing.

I got back to bed. The bed dipping under my weight. Then I gently began to caress her belly, softly.

"I like when you do that" she mumbled, moving closer to me.

"Lilac I really need to get out of bed, my angel" I protested, smiling at her sleepy state.

"I want to kiss you" she said, lifting her head to mine and placing a kiss on my neck, she didn't manage to reach my lips because she was too short, and she was too sleepy to open her eyes. I hugged her, wrapping my arm around her waist, and pulling her in to kiss her rosy plump lips.

Lilac then mumbled against my lips, "I missed you so bad, Alex" as she grabbed my shirt harder.

I pulled her carefully over me. I was now laying on my back while Lilac was straddling my lap.

Her belly was exposed the t-shirt resting over her belly. She had her cute panties on and looked at me with sleepy eyes. She began blushing. I put one of my hands on her belly caressing it again.

"I hope our little girl, didn't make you much trouble while I was gone" but her face kind of fell.

She talked with me over the phone that she had contractions from time to time, however the doctor told me that everything was normal.

"You wouldn't believe me either way" she blurted out, starting to cry.

"Oh my god, angel" I said, pulling her in and hugging her while she was sitting on top of me.

"I always believe you, but you know that the doctor has been saying that everything is fine" but all she did was cry into my chest louder.

"Shh, shhh...if you want a new doctor, I will get you one, I promise."
