Chapter 6

  Lucien:

There's nothing like waking up to the beautiful sight of your mate in the morning.The hazy sunlight dripped through my open window, prying the blinds open, and I felt Raleighstir in bed beside me.

Cracking an eye open, I turned to my side, where I had somehow spoonedher against me, her tiny frame practically covered by mine.Caspian snarled in my head, apparently as moody as he always is.Why are you leaving her?! He whined.

Stay with mate!I chuckled.

I'm only getting up to close the blinds, Caspian.

Don't worry.

I assured him.Caspian gave a low growl in my head.

Okay, He muttered, seemingly dozing back to sleep.

Butmake it quick.

Want to be with mate.I rolled my eyes.

Understood, Dad, I teased.He snapped at me but didn't further comment.I gently pried Raleigh's tiny body from mine, surprised at how easily she had buried herself intome.

She was, however, a light sleeper; something I had misjudged."Lucien...?" She questioned; her voice still groggy from sleep.
