My relationship with Xander was progressing really well, but Alpha Alex is still against me dating his son.
I mean I can kind of understand that I'm a bit old for him but Xander is soon turning seventeen and I'm his mate for crying out loud!
"Sir!"
I ignored the voice and continued to think about another reason why Alex would dislike me.
"Sir."
"Sir."
"WHAT!" I yelled.
The maid stood there holding a tray. "You're in my way."
I looked around and saw I was standing right in front of Xander's door.
"I need to give Xander his medicine."
I stepped aside. "Yeah go ahead, so about that."
She smiled. "It's okay."
Embarrassed, I stepped past her and walked to my office. I sat in my chair and placed my head in my hands.
I looked up when I heard the door open and saw Beta Dean standing there.
I let out a deep sigh, ran my hands through my hair. "What's up?"
"It's about the whole Zuri case."
"Didn't we all agree she'd be killed? She did commit treachery against this pack."
Dean sat down across from me and shook his head. "She was a good kid, she was just mated to the wrong person. And let the love for that person blind her into doing the wrong thing."
"Tell me about it." I sighed. "She was so nice, especially to Xander."
"I guess Love can change people."
There was a long silence between the two of us and one thought of something to possibly keep the conversation going.
"You know, Xander's turning 17 in a week's time."
"Really, that's amazing!"
He sighed and sat forward in the chair. "In a way it's amazing but it's also sad."
"Why is that?" I ask.
"That means we are getting closer to the time when Xander can be healed, that's good. But Xander is getting weaker and weaker as time goes on. After what happened the pack doctors suspect he might not make it."
I looked down. I didn't know that but that doesn't mean I pity him or love him any less.
I just hope to live a long time with him.

"D-D-Darius S-Stop!"
"Nope." I smiled as I continued to tickle him.
"P-P-lease!" He laughed with tears rimming his eyes.
"Ok, fine." I pouted. "You're no fun."
Xander reached his hand up and wiped his eyes. "You wouldn't be saying that if it was you being tickled."
I sat up and back away. Xander pushed himself into a sitting position against the headboard of the bed. "You're so lucky, I can't see you right now." he giggled. "Just you wait, I'll get revenge when you least expect it."
"Guess you'll have to sleep with one eye open." Luna Henson's voice sounded from behind me.
I turned around to look at Luna Henson who was smiling at me. I smiled back.
But then when I focused on his eyes I realized he wasn't smiling at me but at something/someone behind me. I was about to turn around when I felt hands pull me back.
The minute my back hit the mattress, my sides were assaulted with tickling fingers. I started to laugh. "No, No....Stop!" I cried.
"No, I don't feel like it!" Xander yelled happily.
Henson laughed before he attempted to stop us. "Ok love birds. Time for Dinner."
Xander finally let up.
I laid on the bed with my hand on my chest trying to catch my breath. "Ok, I get it. I won't tickle you again."
"Thank you." He laughed. I sat up in the bed and climbed off the bed
There was silence before he reached out. "Carry me?"
"Xander, you know your Father."
"Please, the wheelchair is such a hassle." He pouted.
He was so cute, it took all the restraint in me to try and resist him.
"You won't?" He asked, sounding on the verge of tears. His face looked as if he was about to cry and that broke me.
"Fine."
"Yay!" I picked him up in my arms. Xander wrapped his arms around my neck and cuddled into my chest.
"You faker..you know just how to push my buttons."
"But you love me!" He smiled.
I laughed and shook my head. "You got that right."
We started toward the kitchen when I remembered what I was talking to Dean about this morning and stopped.
"Darius? What's wrong?"
"Xander?"
"Hmm?"
"If anything happens, or maybe you don't feel good it doesn't matter just promise you'll tell me."
"Darius, what are you going on about?"
"Just promise me, Xander."
His hands moved from my neck to my cheeks. He pulled my head down to meet his and he kissed me. A short, sweet and passionate kiss. "I promise you."
