His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 116: The Alpha Tooth

Moana

That night, Edrick asked me to sleep with him. I didn’t know exactly what changed, and why he didn’t seem to want me to leave his side, but I chalked it up to the anxiety caused by the whole ordeal. Besides, I wasn’t complaining; I didn’t want to be alone, either.

Feeling his warm arms wrapped around me was a sorely needed comfort, and I found myself slipping off into sleep within moments of laying down with him.

Edrick and I didn’t wake up again until the next morning. Somehow, we slept through the entire day and night, and still felt tired in the morning.

We laid there for a while after waking up, not speaking as we both stared up at the ceiling. I had so many questions about what happened the day before, and how he found me… But it seemed that he had questions of his own, too.

day and night. Once there, I opened my top dresser drawer and rifled through it until I found the small wooden box where I kept the wolf tooth that Sophia had given me. I hadn’t looked at the tooth in a while. When she first gave it to me, for some reason I couldn’t stop carrying it around in my pocket — but when I eventually realized that I could have lost it or broken it, I decided to tuck it away in a box where nothing could happen to it. This tooth was the only link to my parents, and I didn’t want anything bad to happen to it. Even if my parents did leave me on Sophia’s doorstep because I didn’t
