I wake up feeling groggy, the darkness of night surrounding me.

What time is it?

I reach over for my phone and see that it's 3am.

Fuck it, I'm already awake I might as well go to the toilet so I don't have to wake up again at a later hour.

As I get out of bed I notice the absence of Anatoly. Him and I had gone to sleep at the same time and yet now he's gone who knows where.

By the time I've been to the toilet there's still no sign of him. I hope this isn't going to become a regular occurrence.

I try to fall back to sleep but my worried mind keeps me awake. I know for a fact I'm not going to be able to go back to sleep until I find out where Anatoly is. He could be hurt again and I keep coming up with the worst-case scenarios.

I let out an annoyed huff before peeling away the nice, warm covers.

As I walk through the halls to find Anatoly, I make a quick pit stop to check on Aiyden who's fast asleep in his bed.

I don't know where exactly Anatoly could be and I haven't been in all of the rooms in this house. Yet something compels me towards the bar room we shared our second date in.

I open up the door and to my suprise I see Anatoly sat across the dimly lit room. He's lounging on the sofa area with a drink of some sort in his hand. He doesn't notice me until I step further into the room.

"Reyna, darling. What are you doing here?" He asks in his melodic voice.

"I woke up and you weren't there." I state while walking towards him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to worry you I just needed a drink." He explains.

"You have alcohol in our bedroom."

"Yeah but not the strong stuff."

I sit beside him. "Are you ok?" I question.

"Yeah. I just needed something to take off the edge." He says, taking another sip. "Do you want some?"

"No thanks, I'm good."

"You're so pretty." He states. "I've always thought that."

"You have?" I ask.

"I've wanted you since the moment I saw you."

"Well you have me." I state. "I'm your wife."

Anatoly smirks. "I still don't know how I managed to pull that one off." He says, his voice slightly slower than normal. "And I'll protect you, I promise."

"I know." I assure him.

"I'll kill anyone who dares come after you." He adds. "No one messes with the people I care about and lives."
