Chapter 73

“Well, you seem to be in a better mood now.” He chuckles.

“I was until you stopped,” I growl, wrapping my arms around his neck.

“I thought you wanted to escape me?” he laughs.

It is still irking me, but it is mostly forgotten. “You ordered me,” I tell him, still a little annoyed.

“I don’t want to order you, Lena. But you need to slow down. I don’t want to be your Alpha. I want to be your mate, but I won’t watch you run yourself into the ground with exhaustion either,”

“Well, unfortunately, you’ll always be able to pull rank over me now that you’ve marked me,” I tell him. He frowns slightly and I let him go. Mates are supposedly equal yet everything in our nature says otherwise. It’s a little disappointing that no matter what I’ll always be at a disadvantage compared to him.

“But that is what trust is for,” Lexa tells me and I sigh, knowing she is right.

Axton and I shower quickly so we can organize dinner and bathing the kids. Hopping out of the shower, I put my pajamas on, and head down stairs with Axton right behind me.

“I’ll start dinner if you want to grab the boys?” I tell him when we reach the bottom.

I quickly answer it. “Hey, what’s up?” I ask him, turning back to the frypan where I was cooking my mince and onion for my spaghetti.

“I have the files you requested from the courts,” he tells me.

“Huh? I only just ordered them today?” I tell him.

“Well, one of the supernatural court’s officer’s delivered them personally because the council hasn’t been able to get a hold of me.”

“Right. So why are they looking for you?” Marco sighs.

“What is it?” I ask him when I hear someone in the background talking.

“Who are you with?” I ask him.

“Soyer, I needed him to let me into the council chambers here, I didn’t have my keys. I was at the club across the road when the officer showed up to escort me back to the courts. I put your documents in your filing box for you.” Marco explains.
