Sienna
I woke with an aching body and my mind abuzz with many thoughts. Excuses for how I gave in to Xavier last night for one. Or perhaps my reasons for still entertaining thoughts about him even now.
The mate bond, was it so strong?
I refused to doubt it, because if not it meant I had made a choice to let Xavier sleep with me, and I shouldn't be that type of person. Not when I had children to be a role model for.
But… he was their father after all. Did it matter?
I exhaled, and moved to shower. Then I dressed quickly, choosing a simple A-line black dress, and styled my hair up into a bun. Then I picked up the phone to call my assistant once again, to get updates on the tasks I had set for her.
I had to still find a way to leave this place and return to the city I had built my life in. But for now, until the children had undergone their first shift, I would wait.
