King of the Underworld by RJ Kane

I woke sometime in the middle of the night. Sephie was laying across my chest. She’d tried her best to wear me out before we finally went to sleep, but my brain just didn’t want to stop. I don’t know why I was so surprised that my father was so different with Sephie. I’d never seen him act the way he did around her. It was a welcome change.

My father had always been a cold man. He made sure I had everything I petded, but there was never any warmth between us. As I was growing up, I eventually came to realize that I was a reminder of my mother for him. I think it caused him pain to see me and have to constantly remember that he’d lost her. Now that I have Sephie, I can understand the pain he was in. If my mother was even half of what Sephie is for me, I’m impressed my father didn’t lose his sanity when she died.

I inhaled deeply, lost in my thoughts. I felt Sephie snuggle into me more, effectively breaking me out of my head for a moment. I watched her sleeping peacefully on my chest, her fingers playing their song on my heart.

She’d been able to hide her eyes from everyone but Ivan so far, although I suspected that Andrei had at least a small clue that something had changed. It was only a matter of time before the others picked up on the fact that her demon eyes hadn’t made an appearance in a while. I was fairly sure they’d already noticed. They just weren’t saying anything yet. I knew we were eventually going to have to tell them, but I was enjoying having this secret with her for a little longer. I also didn’t want her to have to wear the contacts anymore than she absolutely had to, since they seemed to make her eyes itch after wearing them for long periods.

I felt her stir and she picked her head up off my chest, resting her chin on me so she could look at me. She smiled sweetly at me. The moonlight coming in through the window made her porcelain skin look almost like it was glowing. “Wanna tell me about it?” she asked. Of course she knew I was lost in my head.

I smiled back at her, my hand lightly running over the features of her face. She closed her eyes, still smiling at me, enjoying my touch. “I didn’t mean to wake you,” I said quietly.

“I could feel you,” she said. “You’re all over the place.”

I laughed. “Accurate.”
