19 - Chapter Nineteen - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View
Despite that Forest was a father I allowed him to still get into trouble
and shenanigans. He had made some friends with some other wolves
who were also dads and they all went out drinking together, which was
fine with me, I didn't mind it at all. He was still young. Atlas was
hanging out with me and the twins tonight. Only because Emerald and
Lucca had come over with their boys and he didnât want to be there to
play thing for the night and I badly wanted to tell him what I thought
but I didn't. He needed to learn in his own time. I didnât need to be the
one to tell him.
Atlas was watching cartoons with the boys when Forest finally came
home, He had clearly had a few drinks and when he walked through the
door I could smell all the booze. I knew exactly how this would go.
Forest rarely drank so he could handle his booze and he became such a
gentle soul who was smothering and needy. I found this Forest
hopelessly adorable and when he wrapped his arms around me and
held me close to him I smiled.
âI missed you, my love.â
âI missed you too, my alpha.â
He wouldn't let go of me and I found it sweet that I was always the first
person he came to smother when he did drink. Atlas had the boys so I
wasn't worried about not watching them for a few moments so their
father could pay me some adorable attention. After he was done
holding me he got on the kitchen floor and just laid there with his
cheek pressed against the cold tile.
âYou know I love you so much right?â
"Of course I know that my Alpha.â
âThat's good, I never want you to forget that.â
âI never will, you have my promise.â
âGood.â
He looked up at me and watched me clean the counters.
âCan we get a puppy?â
âMaybe, Let me think about it.â
âOkay.â
âOkay.â
âDo you need help cleaning?â
âNo, hun, i've got this.â
âOkay, I'll just keep this spot on the floor clean.â
âAlright you do that.â
I watched him just lay there for a moment before I helped him off the
floor. I tried to convince him it was his bed time but all he wanted was
to cuddle with me and make sure I knew how much he loved me. When
I finally got him into the bedroom he asked me for a hug and I gave
him one. When I tried to leave he asked for another. He kept doing this
until he finally just grew too tired to ask for another hug. I kissed his
lips and made sure he was asleep before I left the room. When I got
downstairs all three boys were passed out on the floor. The cartoons
were still on and playing but all that i could hear was soft snores.
Grabbing my phone I took a few photos to show Quinn and Kane in the
morning.
Sitting down on the couch I watched the tv until I knew none of the
boys were going to wake up. When I was sure of this I flicked off the tv
and went upstairs to join my loving husband in the bed. He was
starfished in the bed when I got there. Lightly I moved him over but I
still woke him up, He seemed a drop more sober but he was still being
mussy. He smiled sleepily at me and tried to pull me down on the bed
with him. He gave up pretty easily when I resisted him. Lowering myself
into the bed he rolled over and wrapped himself around me. He had a
booze burn going on and he was so much warmer than normal.
Slipping away from him I went and opened one of the windows so that
it would be cooler in the room because as he was I would be able to
sleep beside him, he was too hot. Once the cool air filled the room I got
in the bed and allowed him to hold me.
