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.

I stood, putting on my robe before I slipped out of his room. It was still early enough for the other servants and Ella to be asleep, so I was able to make my way to my room without being seen and questioned over why I had slept in Edrick’s room all 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.
