“Tired daddy.” My four years old said, raising her small hands so could pick her up. A request I responded to immediately.
“Go in. I’ll put Jessy to bed and round up everyone here and I’ll come join you.” I said to Freya, giving her a kiss as she made. her way through the stairs with me behind her and a sleeping Jessy in my arms.
Emilia had asked to take Simon for the night and although it had upset Jessy, she had finally settled when Simon had promised her a hundred times that he would be right back the very next morning.
I still didn’t know how I was going to tell my child that Emilia had requested to take Simon with her. She had finally been able to work enough to settle herself and there was never a question that if she was able to do this then she would have full custody of Simon.
It hurt myself and Freya to learn that Emilia had chosen to leave the pack and separate the children. She had promised that she would bring Simon to say hi once in a while, but we all knew that it would never make up for the children being apart.
We didn’t even want to think about how it would make Jessy feel when she would eventually find out.
I pushed open the door to Jessy’s room and settled her sleeping frame on the bed. I went into the bathroom and filled a bowl with warm water then brought it back with a towel and then proceeded to wipe her face, hands and neck.
Then I dressed her up in her pajamas that had one of her favorite cartoon characters on its shirt. Once I was satisfied that she was comfortable, I placed a kiss on her head before disposing the water and towel in the bathroom and going back down into the living area.
I had expected that some people would have started leaving, since me and Freya had left but I didn’t expect to find the place almost empty.
There was still no sight of Estel and for some reason my heart skipped in its cage. Maybe a part of me had been hoping to confirm that she really was the one I had seen earlier, a part of me still longed to get a last glance of her face even if for only a split second once more.
I helped round off with the other maids as well as Smith and as the night went out the more tired I got. Until it was time to finally settle down for the night.
I took painful steps through the stairs and with every step I took! I yearned even more for my bed.
The closer I got to the room, the more I felt that there was something wrong. I couldn’t pinpoint it, but the way in which the hairs on my neck rose and my heart beat tripled in my chest and goosebumps rose in my skin, I just knew that there was something really off.
I open the door to find Freya sleeping peacefully on her side of the bed, I take a quick sweep around the room and nothing looks out of place.
The room had been cleaned and every top was pristine. I approached Freya’s sleeping frame and when I got closer to her, the smell that immediately hit me let me know the exact thing that was wrong in the room.
I moved closer to my mates frame and the smell of rot that came from her made me gag terribly. I backed away from Freya in disgust. The smell made my skin crawl and the more I looked at her, the more disgusted I felt.
There’s nothing else to feel between us for me. Not the mate bond, not love, only the smell of rot and death and the disgust from my end.

I immediately exit the room and head for the guest room at the other end of the hallway.

The guest room wasn’t nearly as comfortable as my room, neither did it feel like the luxurious master’s bedroom that I had gotten used to, but at least it didn’t stink.
With that thought in mind, I settled into the bed after a hot shower and forced my mind to go to sleep. I did not allow myself the space to think about tonight’s event or the fact that my mate was literally stinking like death.
Instead, I forced my eyes close and allowed sleep take over my mind.
