Chapter 138 : The Blood Moon

*Lucas*

Sasha paced around the nursery while the Blood Moon rose into the night sky. I sat by the bassinet and watched Hunter sleep.

He was so quiet and peaceful, without a care in the world. An infant had no idea what dangers lurked around him.

“Sasha, come here.” I held my arm out to her.

She paused and then came to my side. I pulled her down next to me and nodded to our son. She’d been so stressed for weeks and I didn’t know how to help her. As much as I tried, I hadn’t been able to do or say the right things.

I believed the dangers were out there, but I still wanted to help put her at ease.

“Just look at him sleeping. He’s so peaceful,” I murmured with my lips at Sasha’s ear.

She sighed and leaned against me. “I wish I could make the world safe for him.”

I chuckled. “Sasha, the world will never be completely safe. Whether it is some ancient prophecy or the risk of choking on food, our son is going to face risks every day. You can’t stop that.”
