Alive and Well

Chapter 4

I wake up with the blinding sun in my eyes followed along with a massive headache. I definitely drank more than needed when I came home last night. Reminder to self stay away from alcohol and wolfsbane.

It was close to mid day I definitely slept for a while. I haven't let myself go this far in a while. After Rondni died I couldn't handle it. I tried to stay away from alcohol and wolfsbane after I had my son, but it was hard because it felt like my only pain relief at that time. I definitely spiraled down like that last night after thinking I saw him on the street. I need mental help if I am hallucinating him.

I make my way to shower and wash off the remains of last night off of me. I sat on the floor of the shower with my knees tucked in my chest just letting the water rush over my body.

Afterwards I got dressed and went to my parents house to pick up Rhys.

Rondni's Pov :

Why did he have to mess with her. Out of all the damn people in this world he had to step out and make himself known to her.

"Well that was a turn of events. Who knew that your mate and Laziren were acquainted."

"Valen would never. She is a good woman who knows when to stay out of trouble and defend herself if she gets into any!!"

"Whoa no need to go off on me. You know just as much as I do."

"What was the point of the moongodess sending you to help me if you don't ever do anything, but follow me around!" I sat down in frustration. My palms covered my face. This can't be. There is no way she would involve herself in something like this. It is so unlike her. That's not my Valen.

"What are you are you getting so worked up over, honestly babe there is far more to worry over."

After she said that I lost my shit. I jumped so quick that she didn't even notice that I grabbed her throat.
"DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME TO NOT WORRY OVER MY MATE AND DON'T CAll ME BABE!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!"

She was clearly unphased, but she didn't want to escalate this anymore.

"Yes, I understand...... but you honestly need to work on looking into something more before coming to conclusions."

"Says the one who literally said they looked acquainted. I love that woman with all my being regardless if she is mixed in with all of this shit. I will and always will love her. It has been extremely hard for me to stay away from her for this long. It breaks my heart that everytime I think I get close to finally killing Liazern he is always 10 steps ahead. That provides me with false hope and then it's crushed when I fall flat on my face again."

"Ron I understand, but you also signed yourself up for this. When you told her that you agreed that was you singing the contract to dedicate your life on killing Liazern and ruining his plans. I get what it is like being away from loved ones, but this was also your second chance to live. If I'm honest I'm not the best person to be around 24/7. I'm just a nonchalant, blunt personish. We will get him one day just don't kill yourself on the thoughts of 'what if' focus on the hard sold facts."

She was right.

And it was a hard pill for me to swallow.

"Valen seen me in the street last night."

"Wow so much for keeping it on the down low."

"I had no intentions of her seeing me. I was just trying to watch her from a distance, but I underestimated her. She spotted me in a crowd full of people and then chased me down the street."
