Letting Go Of The Past

Aleksis closed her eyes and enjoyed the taste of Nicolae's lips on hers. Although they had been together for years and Aleksis had accepted Nicolae's proposal to be his wife, the man had never kissed her like this. This time was the first.

Maybe Nic remembered Lauriel's words which advised him to savor the moment and enjoy being together as much as possible, so tonight Nicolae decided to pour out his love openly to Aleksis.

He had expressed his love to the girl, making peace between himself and their future with Alaric Rhionen and Aleksis' past. He knew that Alaric had a place in Aleksis' heart that he could never and would never want to replace.

And for the sake of his love for Aleksis and her children, he had decided not to have any biological children with Aleksis, because he didn't want to share the affection he wanted to give to Altair and Vega alone.
