By sundown, I was emotionally and mentally tired. On that ridge which I had gone to in an attempt to clear my mind, I found Dane also strolling over.

Softly, he csince his footsteps would have been hitting against loose gravel. "You've been out here for hours," he said, soft.

"I needed space," I said, turning to him, "It's just with everything I try and do, it still feels like the pack is slipping further apart." Dane stepped closer, and just like always, immediately his presence was steady and grounding.

"You're doing all you can, Aurora. It's not easy lo lead when those you're trying to protect are the wolves pulling away." Finally, I turned to him, the concern in his blue eyes reflected. back within my own. "What if I'm not enough?" I whispered.

Dane's hand found mine, his heat seeping into me. "You are Chapter 240 my head into him right into his chest against which his arms closed tightly. And for the first ttoday, I breathed.

We sat there, side by side, not talking much.

Later, as the sun had dipped below the horizon and night's 2/6 chill settled in, Dane took my hand and ledback toward the packhouse.

"Stay withtonight, you've been so busy" he said as we reached the door. "The kids want to have dinner with you tonight." I sighed. "You are right..." I paused and then looked up at me, "When are they going back?" Dane nodded, "Soon... I just want to spend twith them." I furrowed my brows in worry, "They have to leave... we have so many enemies here... we could go visit them when all is settled here a bit... but, Dane..." He took my hand and cutoff, as he kissed them, "I care about her as much as you do... I promise they will be flown back to base tomorrow." I smiled and nodded at him, "Thanks... letfreshen up, I will be back." He pinched my cheek and nodded back at me. He planted a kiss on my lips and we stood there kissing for a few more seconds, before I placed my hands on his chest and I pulled away.

"I will be back," I took a few steps back, he stood there looking at Chapter 240 I sighed as I closed the door, "What a day!" 3/6 I slipped out of my clothes and I entered the bathroom. The warm water was refreshing. I cout of the bathroom refined and I had a smile on my face, I am having dinner with my kids after such a long time. I just couldn't wait. I hummed a song as I slipped into my night dress, I took the jacket and put it on.

I sat in front of my mirror and put my hair in a high ponytail, then I made it into a bun. I applied a bit of lipstick and I dabbed on sface cream.

After putting on a perfume, I looked in the mirror and I was satisfied by what I saw.

I headed out of the room and I reached the dining table just in time.

Tristan and Seraphina were coming, each holding Dane's hand.

"Mum!!" they chorused as they let go of Dane's hands and raced up to me.

I bent down as I caught them both in an embrace.

li kissed their heads and we pulled back before I led them to the table.

Dane dished out food for us and we started eating in silence.

It was a quiet time, Just our little family. I smiled as I ate my food. I loved this moment, I wished it wouldn't end. Chapter 240 1 looked up to Dane and found him smiling, I believe he is enjoying this too... even the kids are smiling.

4/6 "How did you enjoy your meals?" I asked the kids, as I laid back on my seat after we were done with our food. "Delicious..." Tristan said as he wiped his lips.

"It was my best dinner ever," Seraphina said, “Because, mummy and daddy are here eating with us.' I nodded, "Shere, darling... How are your grandparents?" "They are fine, mum...” 'Erm erm..." Dane cleared his throat and we looked up at him, "I feel quite tired... we need to get srest, kids.' The kids sighed and I frowned at Dane, he blinked atand I shook my head.

Dane looked at the maid, and he said, "Take the kids to their room." He got up and kissed the kids goodnight, I did the sbefore Dane grabbed my hands and ledto his room. "Why the rush? You askedto spend twith the kids but you couldn't wait forto finish talking to them?" Dane closed the door behind us before swinging to me. He wore a smirk.

"Because this is urgent... how can I be okay when you look this Chapter 240 good?" he whispered in this low husky voice.

I could no longer form words in my mouth, I nodded at him.

5/6 Dane brushed his hand against my check, turning my chin high, and he caught my lips with his.

His hands slipping to my waist, pullingin, he walkedtot the bed, his lips never leaving mine.

The back of my knees hit the mattress and I sank down, pulling him with me. His weight settled over me, his hands braced on either side of my head as his kisses grew urgent. "Dane," I murmured, my fingers threading through his hair.

He drew back far enough to lift an eyebrow in query, but his eyes were dark with desire.

I shook my head and his lips landed harder on mine this time.

********* "Look at me," he said, his voice low and commanding as I laid tired by his side.

opened my eyes and met his gaze, the intensity in his eyes, made my breath catch. You're everything to me, Aurora," he said. "Everything I'll ever need... I love you." We lay like that for so long, tangled up in the sheets. Dane's fingers drew lazy circles on my back, sending waves of calming, Chapter 240 "I don't know what I'd do without you," I whispered.

6/6 "You'll never have to find out," he said, with an even surer tone.

Finally I had just begun drifting off, Dane's arms wrapped snug around me, when a loud pounding on the dporstandpoinding startledfrom sleep. immediately Dane sat upright, all tension. "Aurora," Piper's voice called from the other side. “We have a problem."
