Chapter 93
Faith’s Pov

I was physically there but my mind was Far Away as I folded one of Astor’s crisp white shirts, laying it carefully into the open suitcase on the bed.
this was just a last minute or second decision and I know that he wants to get everything done as soon as possible and I want our daughter back to but I’m still worried.
I was reaching for another shirt when I felt a warmth behind me, a familiar scent. Astor. He didn’t say anything, just leaned in, his chin resting on my shoulder, his nose brushing against my hair, then the skin of my neck. A shiver, not entirely unwelcome, traced its way down my spine.
“Mmm,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble right next to my ear. “I’ve missed this. Having you prepare things for me.”
I chuckled, turning my head slightly to look at him, a playful glint in my eyes. “So, you’ve missed having a personal maid?”
He pulled back just enough to meet my gaze, a smile playing on his lips. “No, not a maid, Faith. There’s just… something different. Something sexy and special about you being the one who does all these things.”
My heart did a little skip. Sexy and special. A warmth spread through me, chasing away the last lingering chill of my old insecurities. I turned fully, dropping the shirt forgotten on the bed, and wrapped my arms around his neck. His hands immediately found my waist, pulling me closer until there was no space left between us.
His lips met mine, soft at first, then deepening, urgent, hungry. It was a kiss that spoke of longing, of unspoken feelings, of a connection that was still healing but growing stronger with every touch. In the back of my mind, a quiet thought echoed: It’s starting to get easy between us. So wonderfully, terrifyingly easy.
He started pulling at my new dress and I let him until I was standing naked infront of him with him looking at me with hungry eyes.
Our first time was rushed and it may have been special for me but I have a feeling that he barely remembers.
He carried me to bed and laid me on my back and got on top of me as he started kissing me with even more passion.

He opened my legs and got down on me. I screamed in pleasure.

The world outside the bedroom, the half–packed suitcase, the business trip – it all faded away. There was only us, caught in a moment that felt both inevitable and entirely new. We got lost in each other, in the shared space of touch and yearning, finding comfort and passion in equal measure.
Later, the steam from the shower still clung to us like a warm embrace. We stood wrapped in fluffy towels, the bathroom mirror fogged up, blurring our reflections. Astor, his hair still damp, looked at me, his expression serious now, but softened.
“I trust you. Completely. You’re free to make any decision you want, to change anything in this house, in our lives, in the pack. Just… be very careful of Alice. She’s cunning. Very cunning.”
I nodded, feeling the weight of his words. His trust meant everything. “I’ll try,” I said, a little shake in my voice. “But I’m not promising anything. And the only reason I’m letting her stay is because she’s the mother of your daughter. That’s it.”
He gave a small, approving nod, then his eyes flickered down to my head. “You know, one of the things I really like about you is your beautiful heart.”
A tiny sting, quick and sharp, pricked me. He didn’t say he loved it. He didn’t say he loved me. But then I smiled, brushing it off. Maybe we weren’t there yet, not with those exact words. But the fact that we were at this stage, talking like this, trusting each other that was what mattered most. We were building something, brick by brick.
“I’m worried about Kyle,” I admitted, my voice dropping, the warmth of the shower fading a little with the thought of my brother. “You decided to go today. What if he figures out I’ve already told you?”
Astor pulled me closer, resting his chin on my head. “If Kyle knows you as much as I know you now, he’ll expect you to deal with your problems alone. He knows you’re fiercely independent. He won’t assume you came to me.” He paused, then his voice grew softer, a note of genuine warmth making my heart swell. “But I’m very proud that you did come and tell me. It means a lot, Faith.”
His words, simple as they were, truly warmed my heart. It made the small sting about liking me into nothing. This was real. This was progress.
I pulled back just enough to look up at him, a determined glint in my eyes. “Go,” I told him, a direct order, but laced with affection. “Go and bring our daughter back.” He smiled, that rare, genuine smile that still made my breath hitch.
“I don’t know how I’m going to deal with being away from you because the last time I got

very sick.” I said because I’m not used to having a wolf and somehow my wolf reacts very differently when he is not near me.
it’s going to be a lot more different because your home I’m just around that by my scent and not to mention the fact that we got closer today and my scent is going to probably stay with you for a little longer.” he explained and I guess that makes a lot of sense but when he comes back I think I’m ready for that stage where I get to Mark him as well.
” please don’t forget that you have to call me the very same minute he calls you and will make a decision on what to do together.” he said and I nodded.
“We’re in this together.”
