Annd fade to black!
She’d never seen him so happy before. There was a renewed innocence growing within the child she so desperately wanted to call her own. The transition was beautiful to watch; Conor had been emotionally scarred and broken for the first few months of his life. With hope came a new era. Things were different now. He would grow up in a normal loving household, as opposed to the hell hole he’d called home up until now. His smile warmed her heart like rays of sunlight on a hot summer day. Everything was going to be okay; they had each other.
The Acer tried her best not to let negativity ruin such a precious moment, but reality was cruel. There was a possibility that Haku would not appreciate what she’d done. He was a twisted man with a blackened heart. He had no love for his sons, and he certainly wouldn’t hesitate to crush their hopes and dreams. Especially if Conor went as far as telling others what his father had done. The pup wouldn’t willingly do so, but a slip of the tongue was entirely too plausible. Alexey pushed the “what if” scenarios aside, choosing to focus on the present moment.
Honey-hued eyes trailed after the eager child as he bounced up the stairs, his little tail wagging back and forth at the prospect of having his own room… with a bed! Lexey couldn’t help but smile at his demand. Had he ever slept in one? She couldn’t recall him having his own in the Lilium’s cabin. “Okay, bed is all yours.” she acquiesced, climbing up the flight of stairs.
