"Mmh, I missed you so bad, my love.” Valentine growls softly, running his nose down my neck. "I needed you."

"I needed you too,” I laughed softly. I can feel how much he really did need me. His anxiety seems to be melting away at my touch.

I walked back to his office with him, leaving Marvel with Max, who was more than willing to babysit. Valentine had to get ready to go retrieve his mom and Eric from the vampire coven, and I could tell that he was having a hard time.

He may not have had the best relationship with his mom, but she still loved and raised him. I can't imagine the conflicting feelings stirring inside of him. What she did was horrible, and if Marvel gets hurt because of her decisions, I pray my egg donor's vampire bite kills her like Simone and Carli explained to me it could. That doesn't change the fact that she is his mother, though.

Through all her faults, she raised him, and from the stories I heard from everyone before we found out about what she did, I truly

    LISA“Hmm,” he hums, looking deep in thought. “I hope something is done. If not, we need to do something ourselves. Casey, Valentine’s Gamma and my niece’s mate, is from a pack in Florida with strong ties to the fae and other races. I think Queen Aisling works directly with them to govern the fae she rules over in our world. Maybe I can have him reach out to someone there.”I smiled warmly at him. “That would be great. Thank you.” He grunts, still looking disturbed.Max is a great man, and I’m very grateful that I’m getting a second chance at happiness with him and his precious family too. The next morning.“Morning. How did you sleep, honey?” Max asks as he comes up from behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my cheek as I sit at his breakfast bar, sipping on a cup of tea.“Wonderfully. How about you?”He kisses my cheek one more time, his facial hair tickling my skin that was dancing with the sparks from the mate bond. He then moves around the kitchen counter to th

  • His Mate, His Son, His Regret   Chapter 94

    LISAAbout halfway back to Max’s house, Aly falls asleep. Max was holding her tenderly, rubbing her back and sniffing or kissing her hair every once in a while.There is something so attractive about a big, gruff man being sweet and loving to a child. Max adores his grandkids, and it shows in everything he does.“What were you and your son talking about that made you so angry before we left?” I asked, my curiosity still piqued watching their weird interaction. They went from talking about Max taking his granddaughter for the night to their eyes fogging over and Max growling. They were obviously talking in their minds, but if they were just talking about Aly, I doubt he would be reacting that way.Max groans. “Nothing. He was just being a shithead,” he mumbles, making me laugh.“You treat your son very differently from the rest of the members of your family.”“Yeah, that’s because the only thing Valentine needs protection from is me if he pisses me off. He’s a grown-ass man and the Alp

    Max POV“Gi-paw not nice,” Aly sobs, making my heart hurt.“I know, baby. I’m sorry,” I tell her, even though I’m not exactly sure why I’m sorry. I just know I don’t like it when she is mad, especially at me.“Gi-paw night night whiff Aly,” she whimpers. “Not mate.”Aw. Now the squirt is putting me between a rock and a f*****g hard place.“Aly, we talked about this,” Bailey said, trying to take her from me again. Aly turns her head away.“No! Mama mean to Aly,” she says as her little fists knot in my shirt.Bailey sighs, looking about ready to jump out of the bed and paddle Aly’s bottom with one of her brother’s wooden spoons. I’m at a loss about what to do. I can’t choose between my mate and my granddaughter, and I have to leave tomorrow with Lisa to save Bailey. Bailey seems just as lost as me, rubbing her temples.Rick is hovering at the door, like he is unsure if he should step in and help in Valentine’s absence. Aly usually loves Rick and listens to him pretty well. I guess not t

  • His Mate, His Son, His Regret   Chapter 92

    Lisa POVWe walked hurriedly back to the clinic where Vivian was being kept. I could tell by Max’s expression that he was more than worried. He loved and valued his family greatly and suffered with them when they suffered.That was such an admirable quality in a man, but also a sad one. His happiness stemmed from the happiness of those around him.I hope I can help him achieve and maintain his happiness. He deserves happiness. Anyone who sees the way he treasures his family can see that.“I hope that pain in the ass isn’t refusing treatment again,” he grumbles. “Valentine might not command her to quit being a stubborn ass, but I will.”“I somehow doubt that,” I smirk at him. “You treat her like you treat your granddaughter.”He grumbles deeply. “I could if I needed to.”“Sure you can.” I pat his arm, making his face soften. The effect we have on one another is soothing, and I feel comforted just having him near. I hope he feels the same. Vivian will be alright. I know she will.When w

  • His Mate, His Son, His Regret   Chapter 91

    Lisa POVMax and I had one of his many maps from his office out on the table, pretending to discuss our route to the falls, when we were really just flirting using the close proximity while looking over the map to press closer together.He’s staring at me, his hand resting on my lower back as I lean over the table, absentmindedly running my fingers over the scale as I pretend to measure the distance between here and the falls.I have two of my family’s Pegasus horses. The distance does not matter when I can summon them to me, and we can be there in a matter of minutes.When he brought the map out, I didn’t want to ruin the opportunity to be close to him by letting him know that. Not after that intimate moment of him accepting me, despite my faults.“You sure seem fixated on the distance,” he muses, his rough hands on my back sending magical sparks straight to my tightening muscles between my legs.“Mmhmm,” I hum, not wanting to embarrass myself by trying to form actual words.He chuck

  • His Mate, His Son, His Regret   Chapter 90

    Max runs his hands over his face, a stressed look coming over him. I feel horrible. If I hadn’t been so selfish, I could have helped him. No, I wouldn’t be his mate now, but neither of us would be the wiser. He could have lived happily with Alyssa.“I’m sorry,” I whisper.He asked me if I was okay with the mate bond, but now I feel I need to ask the same. It’s my fault his first love was lost.He sighs heavily, then pats the cushion beside him on the couch, indicating I should sit.I tentatively move to sit beside him, slowly lowering myself to the couch as he watches me. His eyes, filled with so much emotion in their icy depths, roam my face, his lips pressed together grimly. It takes all my control not to squirm under his gaze.“Why are you sorry?” he asks after an extended silence.I bite my lip nervously. “If I had acted back then, I could have saved her,” I whisper.He nods, then turns his eyes upward, staring at the ceiling. “That may be true, but she didn’t say anything either.
