Eli's POV:

It's been three years... to this day. Three years since the incident.

My mate, lost his life on this day...

And I haven't been the same since.

He took his life... he took it because of me. Because I pushed him too far.
I made him feel that he had to be with me, even though he didn't understand who he was anymore...

I made my mate kill himself...

And that hurts more than anything.

"Are you okay hun?" Josiah asks me, placing his hand on my shoulder.

I nod, "just the thoughts again. They come and go."

Josiah is my second chance mate, something that's rare to come by. But the moon goddess has been watching over me, and knew that I would need him. And here he is.

"It's okay babe, do you want to cuddle? Ava will be waking up in an hour or so from her nap." He whispered, nodding his head to our daughters room.

We adopted Ava from the orphanage. After I joined the pack, I began working there. Then a year later, he and I found one another. Then seven months later, Ava came into our lives.

The moon goddess has pretty good timing that's for sure.

"Yeah, can I be the little spoon?" I begged.

"Of course, come here." He whispered, being soft and gentle with me due to my mental state.

He held me tight and whispered, "it's going to be okay. I am here. I love you, and you mustn't have any fear." 

I hummed with gratefulness, nuzzling closer to my mate.
"Thank you... I love you more."

"Daddies!" Ava exclaimed, "look daddies! Look at my art!" She smiled, her little blonde curls bouncing as she jumped up and down with excitement.
"It's beautiful! You're an artist!" I smiled, placing a small kiss on the top of her head.

"That's beautiful my sweet girl!" Josiah exclaimed.

I cleared my throat, "alright, I have that meeting with Knox and Rose, I'll be back in a few hours."

"Be safe. Please. I love you." Josiah whispered, making sure we were being soft enough to not scare our daughter, to keep her away from any violence that comes with my job as the new beta.

"Always. I love you too." I looked over at Ava, as she popped a goldfish cracker in her mouth, "I love you!" I exclaimed.

"I love you too dada! Drive slowly!" She screamed with love in her voice.

She's just like Josiah, it's funny how they aren't related.

"Will do. I love you guys, I'll be back soon." I smiled, before heading to the pack house.

Time for work.
