“You are not going anywhere.” I wasn’t about to let him go back to Hell. “I’m calling Hugo. Or I’ll have Eddie look into your contract.”
Our butler was a satan. He’d left behind his brethren, but he could still judge a contract. If anyone could find some wiggle room in a contract it was Eddie.
Gray took a long breath. “Baby, I know this is hard on you but there was no other way.”
“Did you even try?” He often didn’t. He saw the thing that would cost him the most and decide that was the only way. He was the Eeyore of the demonic world.
“I’m not having this argument with you right now. I have to go. I have to play this game for another six weeks, and then we’ll be through. I’ll talk to Jamie and Nate about moving to Frelsi,” Gray promised. “We’ll discuss this further when I get back.”
“I won’t be here when you get back.” I might or I might not. I might have gone back to Frelsi, and I would bet if Gray’s butler from Hell could pop in wherever he happened to be, he wasn’t going to be welcome in the royals’ home.
It was likely why he no longer had a relationship with our son. Why he was going to fuck it up again with this one.
It wasn’t fair or right, but I couldn’t help myself in that moment. I was pregnant and scared and unsure I would be able to find this weapon Lee and Dean would need to fulfill their destiny. For now, the fate of the plane was on my back, and I wanted Gray with me.
I needed him.
When I’d left before we’d been in such a good place. We’d been a family, and now it felt like we were on the edge again, like if I let go for a second we could fall apart.
All I knew how to do in these moments was to fight.
He stared at me as though he wasn’t sure what to say.
“Stay with me.” I did know.
“I love you, Kelsey mine.”
And he was gone.
Again.
“Trent and Fen are coming back.” Luna was on the ground again and putting on her pink and purple robe. She looked up at her mom. “Everything is busy today, Mama. It’s loud here.”
Sure enough, Eddie was back with Trent and a wolfy Fen.
Fenrir sniffed the air, and a low growl started in the back of his throat.
“Where’s Gray?” Trent seemed to immediately know what had happened.
Luna stepped up to the massive wolf who should have terrified anyone in a room with him and put her small hands on either side of his face. “It’s okay, Fen. The bad man went back down, but he took your other dad.”
Fen’s head hung, and Evan moved in beside Luna, putting a hand on his head and stroking down his back.
Trent pulled me into his arms. “I’m sorry, baby. He’ll be back. I promise. He always comes back.”
I held on to him and hoped he was right.
