Dante
It was well past midnight when I arrived back to my Kingdom. First thing in the morning, I was going to summon Tyler to the palace. I could have visited him that night, but the healer advised he got adequate rest at night. Athena was still curled up in bed, deep into sleep when I returned to the room. I stared at her for a while, wondering how she'll react if she ever finds out the rest of my secrets.
If Charlotte could get her all worked up, how much more finding out her mate was a cold-blooded murderer?. I wouldn't let that happen. We had to find a way, any way. My reputation also mattered. I couldn't lose the kingdom to anyone outside my bloodline. I tumbled in bed until I gave up trying to find sleep. Thankfully,I didn't wake her up. I buried myself into work at the library.
