Chapter 13

A month and a half later

Sadie's POV

I have to get out of the house. I've barely been to the backyard since the rouge was caught. Alex is overwhelming, barely leaving my side. I know he's worried, but damn it, I need peace. I haven't seen Lex in over a week and the only reason I get to see Ellie is because she's my brother's mate.

I was sitting with my family at dinner but I didn't engage in any conversation, only looking down, playing with my food. I felt Alex's thumb skim down my cheek, making me look at him. He was so confused, I could see it.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly. I nodded slightly and went back to playing with my food.

"What's wrong baby?" I heard his voice through my head, giving us privacy. "I've been stuck here for almost two months, Alex. Can we please go out? Even to the cafe at least?" I asked him. I felt Alex kiss my cheek. "We'll go later today. I promise. Just you and me." He said. I smiled softly and hugged him, burying my face in his chest.
