“I want to make a request.”
“Sure, what is it, Val?”
“I… I don’t want anyone to be allowed to enter my room without you.”
Valerie’s request replays in my mind even as I leave her room. She doesn’t even want Jai there…
What is her reason? When I asked her she said nothing, but for someone who doesn’t remember, she made it clear out there that she remembered some stuff. After all, she mentioned a ‘he’
I want to know more, but she’s not in a good frame of mind right now.
I head upstairs to the children’s room and for the first time, I feel uneasy about them being alone with Mom. It’s terrifying not being able to trust those around me.
This makes me feel guilty too. She loves me, right?
I feel so… alone.
With Dad having to stay behind, it will be on me to protect my children. and Valerie. Jai- I can trust Jai and I think I can trust Atticus. I know I don’t agree with every decision he makes, but I don’t feel like he is the

Well, pondering over the why’s won’t help.
I learned long ago, one should always trust their instincts…
I check in on the children, deciding I’ll be spending the night with
them. I just want to check on Sebastian once more before I shower and head to their room.
Goddess, even in my own home, I feel uneasy.
I check a few of the windows and look outside to make sure the
guards are in place before I walk to Sebastian’s room.
When we returned Jai said Sebastian had awakened shortly afterwards and was restless, so had decided to go for a run. That’s something Sebastian always did and I’m glad he was ok.
I open his bedroom door after knocking lightly and look around the room. The bed is empty, but I see the slight dirt on the floor. Hearing the sound of the shower running fills me with relief, and I walk to the
bathroom door.
“Sebastian? Are you alright?” I ask, my heart sk ipping a beat, knowing he’ll be naked inside. I stay outside the door.

His muscles flex as he brushes his hair off his face, and I swallow as I admire his body and then I realise his body is bruise and injury free. Not one wound…

“Oh yeah? Well, if you’re still worried, why not come a little closer, so you can be reassured I really am perfectly fine?” He smirks dangerously, and my heart thumps in response.
The way he makes me react is intense….
“I’m not sure that’s a good idea…” I say, running my fingers through my hair.
