Why would…
Oh, shit.
I groaned and ran my fingers through my hair.
“Why?” Maddie asked as she looked at Ellie.
“You will need to, princess,” I mumbled, trying to hide the annoyance in my voice. “I have to go to the border and greet the Alphas.”
Maddie looked at me and furrowed her brows.
“It’s tradition,” I explained as I kissed her forehead. “King has to welcome his Alphas at the border, grant them the entrance to our pack, and lead them toward the throne room.”
“There is usually a short meeting right after that,” Will added. “Dimitri will probably stay out late.”
I wanted to growl and whine. I didn’t want to leave her. I completely forgot about having to greet them at the border.
“Can I come?” Maddie asked and I wanted to say yes.
“Only men are allowed to go,” I said and let out a loud sigh.
“Oh,” Maddie mumbled and my heart broke.
I wanted to take her with me. I didn’t even want her to fall asleep without me next to her.
“We will keep it short,” Will said, smiling at Maddie. “Dimitri will be back soon, I promise.”
Maddie smiled back and I pulled her to my chest. I hated leaving her. I simply hated it.
I kissed the top of her head and buried my nose in her hair.
I didn’t even leave her yet and I already couldn't wait to come back to her.
CHAPTER ELEVEN – Come Back To Me
Dimitri's POV
Letting go of Maddie was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I knew that I wasn’t going to see her for the next few hours and I already missed her so fucking much.
I didn’t want to go. I really didn’t.
It would be the first night since her birthday that she would go to sleep without me. It would be the first night since her birthday that I couldn’t wrap my arms around her and listen to her heartbeat as I fell asleep. I hated it so much. Falling asleep in her arms was the best part of my day. I wouldn’t get to do that tonight and it was pissing me off.
“Come back to me,” she said softly.
I tightened my arms around her and buried my nose into her hair.
“Always, princess,” I said, taking a deep breath of her scent. “You are my home. I will always come back to you.”
I wished that I didn’t have to leave her.
“I miss you already,” she said, tightening her arms around my waist.
I smiled a little and rubbed her back.
“Oh, I miss you too,” I said. “I wish I could just stay here with you. I can’t believe that you will fall asleep without my arms around you.”
She looked up at me and shook her head.
