I fell to my knees and bowed my head and as I looked out, the rest of the pack did the same. They were once again his to command and protect. Eleric's promise was complete. I looked up into his golden hazed eyes and saw his exhaustion. I stood and stepped towards him, but as I got close enough, I noticed Amari, and regret consumed me. He was dead because of me. Another sacrifice that I had to make. I looked up at Dante and he nodded. He already knew what I wanted. A chance to say goodbye. He turned and looked expectantly at Xavon, but as I glanced behind me at him, Xavon turned and lifted his hand towards Ashley and they walked off together. "Please give him time, Dante. He still feels hurt by your actions from before. Trust takes time to rebuild." I placed a hand against Dante's chest and smiled as his scent started to entice me. He leaned closer and spoke just above a whisper. "Finally, I will get to enjoy the company of my queen in bed again. Tonight, you will give me what I have been longing for. What no other could possibly satisfy." He glanced down at the wolf at his feet. "Say your goodbyes, and then find your way to my bed." I nodded and bowed my head. "Yes, My Lord Alpha."
