Ten

James POV.

I had Annalise, but now I also have Mathew, I knew he was mine the second I smelled him, I saw the way he looked at Anna. He didn't say a thing, I thought he was shy, I was too busy that night, I had a meeting with the other vampire lords, I felt more comfortable leaving Anna with her mate than Zach.

Although she and Zach doesn't agree on many things, they are like siblings who'd fight all the time, he's the best one to leave her with during the night. She was already half asleep, he just had to keep an eye on her, Annalise moves too much during her sleep, she'd wake up in the middle of the night scared and looking around for me.

Usually I'd leave her in her crib, but since I knew I'm going to be late, I was sure I won't be back until late hours of the night, early morning. It would be a safe bet to leave her with Zach, as expected I wasn't back until very late night.

Anna was in deep sleep next to Zach, I picked her up and took her back to our room, she cuddled closer
