‘Mine,’Skol growled again.
“Oh, what a joy!” Alpha Jack exclaimed. “I can’t wait to see her tomorrow.”
Oh, I couldn’t fucking wait to see her tonight. I needed the meeting to end. Right the fuck now.
I forced a smile on my face and I stood up.
“Well, I will see you all in the morning,” I said. “My Beta will show you to your rooms.”
Will stood up and pointed at the door.
“Please follow me,” he said and everyone started standing up.
I was going insane watching them. They were so fucking slow. I wanted them to hurry up and leave so I could run to Maddie.
My entire body was trembling by the time the last Alpha left the room. I breathed out in relief as I rushed through the other door and started running upstairs.
Ellie.I mind-linked her.I am coming back.
Okay.She responded immediately.Maddie fell asleep. You can let her sleep in my room for the night.
Fuck no. as if I would be able to sleep without her. As if I would be able to spend another minute without her.
No.I said sternly.I am coming to get her.
Okay.Ellie responded.Should I wake her up?
No.I said.Let her sleep.
I was only a few steps away from Ellie’s room. My hands were shaking and I could swear that I was sweating profusely. I needed Maddie so fucking much.
I opened the door and I almost sobbed in relief.
There she was.
“Princess,” I mumbled as I practically threw myself toward her. “Oh, my love.”
I finally reached her. I finally cupped her cheeks and pressed my lips against hers. My body relaxed immediately. It was like my entire body was in a knot ever since I left her.
Maddie sighed quietly and opened her eyes a little.
“Shh, princess,” I whispered. “Go back to sleep.”
She smiled a little and I almost melted into a puddle. I picked her up into my arms and she pressed herself close to me.
“I missed you,” she mumbled sleepily.
“I missed you too,” I said as I pressed a kiss on her forehead. “Sleep, my love.”
I looked at Ellie for the first time since I entered the room. She was smiling and shaking her head at me.
“It’s been five hours,” she said quietly.
I just rolled my eyes at her. I didn’t have time to argue. I wanted to take Maddie back to our room and just feel her next to me.
“Good night, Ellie,” I said as I started walking out of her room.
“Good night,” she said, chuckling a little.
