Her Forever (Book 2)- Chapter 65

Jack

I took Rosalie’s bloodied body from the floor. Most of our closest friends and my parents stood at the door, waiting to see what I would do next. Cradling her in my arms like a baby and grabbing a blanket that was still splattered with blood, I covered her so no wandering eyes could lay on her. Walking out the door silently, everyone parted in the hallway as I walked down to her old room, the room she only spent a few days in before the bond finally took over and she started to trust me.

The walls were still painted the baby pink that she loved, the room had been kept exactly how she decorated it the first few nights here. Her small plants were by the window, the cat bed for her departed cat, and the few old pieces of clothing from her old life still hung in the closet. Looking down at her, unconscious state, who knew we would end up back here in the very room where the bond took over.

I’ve known her, or to stay to make sure we both would mentally be OK. Sampson urged me that Marigold was healing her, that she would be alright physically, but no one was sure how she would be mentally. She had witnessed and acted in something no human and hardly any supernatural ever did and that was fight a demon and just in her frail human body.

quick side-eye to my audience I spoke, “Leave us,” and headed to her ensuite bathroom. Avoiding the bath, since once she would be placed in it she would be bathing in a pool of blood, I decided the shower was the best. Turning it on, adjusting the temperature so it was just right, I peeled the blanket off her body and stepped in with my clothes on, not wanting to put her dow

ap to wash her hair, condition it and then spread body wash over her. This act alone I felt was more intimate than the times we had made love. I wanted to take care of her body, mind, body and soul.

eek, cooing at her. “It’s alright now, Kitten. I’ve got you. I’m not going anywhere.” Her head fell back into my chest as I turned off the water. Taking a towel, I wrapped her gently, drying her face, arms and legs. My clothes, still drenched in water, I made my way to the bed and carefully laid her down, still wrapped. Not caring if I ruined the room in my wet clothes, I stripped entirely and dried myself.

or her, sweet nothings in her ear that she craves, I did it. I stayed with her, I didn’t care that Hades was on his way to take care of the body. I was going to stay here with my mate until she awoke. I would be the first person she saw.

It sat out in the front of the closet begging for someone to wear it though. Continuing to look at the mirror, I laid my eyes on the far right corner. The large piece of carpet missing was beckoning me to look. Closing my eyes I held in my breath and turned. Slowly letting out an unsteady breath I look at the spot. The hardwood floor was staring at me in the face, no longer cover

Astrid sat up straight after hugging my short stature and gave a small smile. “Let’s do your hair and make-up, huh? As much as you don’t want to, we need to let Hades know what happened.” Nodding my head reluctantly they continued with their artistic han

er to give me what I supposedly need.” Hades gritted his teeth in anger and slammed his fist on the table, causing the dishes to rattle. “Taking things in my own hands I tried to create a demon that would be with me. She still needed a choice so I denied my blood to give her choices and I didn’t control her. Once she was created she was everything I had wanted, beautiful, angelic. The first few days she was like a newborn calf learning to walk and talk, understanding who I was and why she was created. Her powers then started to come in, that is where the problem started.
