Yesterday, they had discussed building a boat. They day before he had been the topic of heated conversation. He had been accused of being like Lucifer, and like Liam. And yet, he was nothing like either one. He took after his mother, except without her depression. Or at least, he hadn't had the issues until Liam had done what he had done to Tameri.
Anyway, today, he just wanted to go home. He had slept in the stable two nights in a row. He wanted to go home, to curl up with his mate in their bed, to feel his pups moving under his hand. He wanted his life back, as normal as he could get it. He had bathed as best he could to remove the smell of stable off of him, to finish washing out the scent of Crimson Dreams and his mother. Not that he wanted to wash the sweet scent of his mother from his fur, the delightful tang of lavender, but he wanted his mate to remember that she was his, and he was hers. He wanted his life back the way it was. It wasn't a perfect life, but it was his life.
He hesitated on their porch, absently staring at the skulls. Tameri's wasn't among them, and he breathed a sigh of relief before making his way into the house. He had half expected the door to be locked, but it wasn’t. He now stood in the foyer, his hands in his pockets, clutching the piece of pink quartz he’d found by Tameri’s grave. It was small, but it was a gift of a sort for his mate. It was simple, a chunk of rose quartz that had been carved into a heart. It may have hung off a cord once, but Tal had placed it onto a silver chain for her. Not that she wore the amethyst he’d given her back when they’d first started dating, or courting, or however she’d put it. But he wanted her to have it anyways.
“Sky?” He stood still, listening. He half expected something to come flying at him, or Fella to come and tear him to shreds. He’d take it, he supposed. But more than anything, he wouldn’t back down. What he had done for Tameri was right. He knew it in his heart, that she was able to find peace because she was properly buried.
