Chapter 759

Chapter 104 : Someone Wants Us Dead

*Soren*

I woke up and saw sunlight across the bedroom. It was the first sunlight I’d seen in days!

I smiled and hugged Mila. She was curled into the crook of my body. Sighing, I nuzzled my nose on the back of her neck and slipped my hands over her belly.

Mila giggled and squirmed in my grasp.

“What has you in such a good mood?”

“The sun is out,” I said, nibbling lightly on the back of her neck.

She giggled again and turned in my arms, facing me. I gasped and pushed some hair from her face.

“And now, it is even better because I can look at your beautiful face.”

Mila bit her lower lip, her cheeks turning crimson. Her eyes roamed over me and she drank me in. I got the sense that she felt the same about seeing me in the morning as I felt about seeing her.

I could feel her heart beating in her chest, erratically. Every now and then it skipped a beat.

“I can’t get used to it,” she whispered.

“Get used to what?” I arched an eyebrow.

“How handsome you are…”

I chuckled and shook my head. Swooping my arms around her, I hugged her close, burying my face in the crook of her neck.

“Soren.”

Mila ran her fingers through my hair and kissed the side of my head.

I growled. “I didn’t thank you last night.”

“Thank me for what?”

“Mila, this baby…” I put my hands on her stomach. “It means the world to me. You both do. So, thank you, for being the mother of my child.”

Mila gasped in my ear, her arms tightening around me.

I smiled, kissing her shoulder and her neck. The sunlight seemed to have her in a good mood, too.

“Now that the sun is out, we should be able to leave soon,” I told her.

“Good, because I can’t wait to go home.”

“Then let’s get ready. Charles is awake, he can handle things for now. It is time for us to go. We have a lot to do to get ready for the baby.”

I threw the covers back.

Mila groaned and grabbed at the sheets. “Do we have to?”

“Soren, are you awake yet?” Thomas’s voice came through the mindlink.

I pursed my lips. Mila immediately picked up on my change of mood.

“What?” she mouthed to me. She sat up and touched my shoulder.

I tapped the side of my head and put a finger to my lips. She nodded.

“What is it, Thomas?” I mindlinked back.

“We need to talk… like now.”

“What happened?”
