We were back home now, Talon hadn’t been kidding, it was a long drive but I slept most of the way. As soon as we got home, people wanted to fuss over me. There were so many people waiting for us, ready to help and support me in any way they possibly could.

But I just wanted the silence. The last thing I wanted was the questions, the pity in their eyes. I didn’t want any of it, so I headed straight upstairs. No one said anything or tried to stop me, they weren’t that brave. Not when I had Talon following close behind me, no doubt giving them a warning look to keep their mouths shut. Talon wouldn’t leave my side anytime soon and that was ok with me, he was the only one I wanted and needed with me right now. Just him.

He made me sit on the edge of the bed as he checked over my wounds, he had cleaned them up in the car. They would all heal in time, hopefully I would have no scars.

Once he was content that everything looked ok, he let me go take a long shower. Talon had been reluctant to join me but I asked him to, needing him with me. In his mind he didn’t want to crowd me or pressure me into anything but I insisted. Sure, I wasn’t thinking about anything sexual, I just needed to have him close to me. I needed my king because he was the only one who could rid me of the monster’s taint, that was the power of his presence.

Eventually we curled up in our bed and I sighed as I settled against him. Feeling him stroke my hair as he kissed my forehead, tucking me into his side. Wrapping his arms around me, keeping me close.

“You realise you’re never taking the rubbish out again.” I couldn’t help but chuckle, I didn’t know if it was too soon to laugh. Maybe I should still be sad or scared and I was those things but I felt this calmness now that I was home. Being here, I guess things were finally starting to sink in, slowly. My mind was still processing but it was a start. It was like this massive weight that had been holding me down all these, was slowly starting to lift. Nathan was dead and he could never hurt me again. I was free of the demon that haunted me, that hunted me and stalked me no matter where I went. But never again, I was free now.

“I’m sorry.” Shaking his head at me.

“Don’t ever apologise.” Burying my face into his neck, I took some deep breaths. I was home and I was with Talon. Right where I belonged, always with him.

“I thought—” Tightening his hold on me, knowing exactly what I had thought in those moments.

“I know love, I know but he’s dead now.” I could finally breathe, make a home for myself. I could be happy here, I could have a family and do all the things I always wanted to.
