Chapter 143

Daisy

After my son’s call, Xavier and I are on our way to join Lucas and his mate, Skylar, in the magical realm. I’m standing in front of the mirror while inspecting my outfit.

“Do you think I look fat in this blue summer dress?” I lift it to frown at my stretch marks. These days, I never wear anything that shows off much skin.

“What’s with the frown?” Xavier asks as he comes up behind me, placing a large hand right over my belly. I meet his eyes in the mirror, and my heart skips a beat.

He hasn’t aged a day since he accepted his vampiric side, and even though I’m not usually bothered by the fact that I’m aging while he doesn’t, I feel it today.

After drinking from the well of fates in the magical realm, Xavier and I will share his life force. While I love the thought of spending forever by his side, I’m concerned about my age and appearance.

What if he doesn’t find me as attractive now as he did back when I was younger?

It would have been so much better if we found the well earlier and I stopped aging at twenty–one. Instead, I’m soon in my forties with a husband who looks like he belongs on the cover of MQ magazine. And unlike Xavier, I can’t change my appearance at my will.

I’m stuck like this and shit….is he going to be unhappy with me always looking like this?

“Why the heck would I be unhappy?” Xavier growls above my head. His chin is resting on the top of my head, and his big arms are wrapped around me in a hug.

Even though we have been together for eighteen years, my heart still flutters at his touch. I don’t even mind that he read my thoughts. It’s all
