(Alec) I watch as my mate places our sleeping son in his crib. Ever since she had our son and we spoke about how we both felt and I kept apologizing to her. I put her and our son's lives in danger. She keeps telling me to stop apologizing, but I can't help it. I feel like no matter how many times I apologize to her, it's never going to be enough. Ever since I became King I have been overwhelmed with paperwork. Vampires asking permission to turn their human mates or chosen mates. The s****l frustration of wanting to be with my mate but not touching her in anyway, afraid I would hurt her or our baby. Not wanting my mate to have too much work since she could go into labor any moment. Everything was becoming too much, and I hired Xyra only for what I didn't want to happen, to actually happen
