             Alex p.o.v

Trace gently touched his lips. The shocks from our kiss made my whole body vibrate to life. I'm sure it was the same for him. It felt like our first kiss all over again.

"Alex I can't say I'm angry anymore after hearing that story. Yet I can't just forgive you."

I quickly got off his lap and got on my knees holding his hands in front of him. "I know. I don't want you to. I know I have to work for you to trust me. I don't want any easy hand outs. I just want you to know that I'm here for good."

"Until the war."

I casted my eyes down. He was right. I don't know what's going to happen. This war is my fault and hundreds will die because of it. Even if they all have their own agendas.

"I don't know what will happen then. But I do know that I'll fight. I'll fight hard to stay beside you again." I looked at his face.

He was thinking. I didn't want him to think of the bad but I knew it had to be done. I'm not an exception to death. My time will come. He's just getting prepared for it mentally. 

"Trace I'm sorry for leaving the way I did. I'm sorry for not even leaving a note. I'm sorry for not including you in my rash decisions like I said I would. I'm so sorry I was so selfish. I let you handle depression and sadness all on your own and I'm sorry. I even missed your promotion to alpha."

Trace let out a deep chuckle causing me to smile a little. "Its not a promotion, it's a birth right. A coordination of sorts."

"I'm still sorry for missing it. I swear I'll make it up to you. Every second of being apart for 3 years I'll make back up to you." I stood up and slipped my shirt off.

Trace eyes feel on my chest and shined brighter than the sun. "Alex ummm so soon?"

I tilted my head at him and smirked. "What are you talking about? I'm going to take a shower."

His eyes met mine in disbelief. I shrugged and turned towards the connected bathroom. I let my belt holding my weapons fall off behind me. I stepped out my shoes and let my pants slip off me just as I closed the door with my foot.

Trace groaned in frustration and I laughed. He can join me if he wants. On well. Its been a long day and I really need to relax in this shower.

The feeling of the hot water hitting my body made me sigh. I've had only cold showers since last week. The vampires don't feel so they saw no point in hot water. That pissed me off but I put up with it.

I looked around and stopped when I spotted my body wash. It was still in the same place. I reached out for and smiled feeling that the bottle was new.

- He brought a new bottle? Why would he?-

-So he would feel that we were still close.- Flixx answered softly before going quiet.

I pushed my tears back and picked up the body wash. I'm here now to make things right with Trace. I can't break down now after all I've been through.

After showering and getting dressed I grabbed my sword. Putting a gun on both sides of my hip I made my way out the room. I put my sword up on my back walking towards the office since Trace wasn't in the room.

"Alex."

I turned and saw it was Trace mom. I smiled at her even as she looked at me with teary eyes.

"Hey. How have you been?"

She laughed a little through her tears. "Good. I'm just so happy to see you again. Don't think you can get away from Luna training this time."
