“Tired daddy.” My four years old said, raising her small hands so could pick her up. A request | responded to
immediately.
“Go in. I'll put Jessy to bed and round up everyone here and I'll cjoin you.” | said to Freya, giving her a kiss
as she made. her way through the stairs withbehind her and a sleeping Jessy in my arms.
Emilia had asked to take Simon for the night and although it had upset Jessy, she had finally settled when Simon
had promised her a hundred times that he would be right back the very next morning.
| still didn’t know how | was going to tell my child that Emilia had requested to take Simon with her. She had
finally been able to work enough to settle herself and there was never a question that if she was able to do this
then she would have full custody of Simon.

It hurt myself and Freya to learn that Emilia had chosen to leave the pack and separate the children. She had
promised that she would bring Simon to say hi once in a while, but we all knew that it would never make up for
the children being apart.
We didn’t even want to think about how it would make Jessy feel when she would eventually find out.
| pushed open the door to Jessy’s room and settled her sleeping fron the bed. | went into the bathroom and
filled a bowl with warm water then brought it back with a towel and then proceeded to wipe her face, hands and
neck.
Then | dressed her up in her pajamas that had one of her favorite cartoon characters on its shirt. Once | was
satisfied that she was comfortable, | placed a kiss on her head before disposing the water and towel in the
bathroom and going back down into the living area.
| had expected that speople would have started leaving, sinceand Freya had left but | didn’t expect to
find the place almost empty.
There was still no sight of Estel and for sreason my heart skipped in its cage. Maybe a part ofhad been
hoping to confirm that she really was the one | had seen earlier, a part ofstill longed to get a last glance of
her face even if for only a split second once more.
| helped round off with the other maids as well as Smith and as the night went out the more tired | got. Until it
was tto finally settle down for the night.
| took painful steps through the stairs and with every step | took! | yearned even more for my bed.
The closer | got to the room, the more | felt that there was something wrong. | couldn’t pinpoint it, but the way in
which the hairs on my neck rose and my heart beat tripled in my chest and goosebumps rose in my skin, | just
knew that there was something really off.
| open the door to find Freya sleeping peacefully on her side of the bed, | take a quick sweep around the room
and nothing looks out of place.
The room had been cleaned and every top was pristine. | approached Freya's sleeping frand when | got
closer to her, the smell that immediately hitletknow the exact thing that was wrong in the room.
| moved closer to my mates frand the smell of rot that cfrom her madegag terribly. | backed away
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrom Freya in disgust. The smell made my skin crawl and the more | looked at her, the more disgusted | felt.
There's nothing else to feel between us for me. Not the mate bond, not love, only the smell of rot and death and
the disgust from my end.

The guest room wasn’t nearly as comfortable as my room, neither did it feel like the luxurious master’s bedroom
that | had gotten used to, but at least it didn’t stink.
With that thought in mind, | settled into the bed after a hot shower and forced my mind to go to sleep. | did not
allow myself the space to think about tonight's event or the fact that my mate was literally stinking like death.
Instead, | forced my eyes close and allowed sleep take over my mind.
