Page 39 of Xander
When Silas dropped his barrier, Xander shifted back and picked up Silas, who had also shifted back.He gently lifted his wife and walked them both back home.He tried to rid himself of the anger and adrenaline coursing through him, but he knew it wouldn’t be worth the effort.It would dissipate when he got his family home and safe.Ax and Jade sensed this and kept quiet.
He rushed through the front door and carried them up to their bedroom, laying Frost on the bed and then Silas, who cuddled up against her side.He dressed Silas in pajamas and covered them both.Xander leaned toward Frost and could smell the scent of the tranquilizer she’d been shot with.He closed his eyes and reassured himself that she would be all right when he heard her steady heartbeat and rhythmic breathing.
Ghost walked in as Xander pulled up his jeans and reached for a shirt.Silas blinked open his eyes and held up his arms for Ghost to pick him up, which he did.Silas, with his talents, played back the entire event, minus what happened after he and the others disappeared through the trees.When Silas had been through it all, Ghost kissed his head and gently placed him back against Frost.Both men watched as he cuddled in the crook of her neck.
He’s waiting for us to slip up.His only objective was to kidnap Frost.We had to kill them.
That’s understandable.Don’t be so hard on yourself.They tried to kidnap your mate.You did the right thing.Ghost squeezed his shoulder and the last of Xander’s adrenaline washed away.
Ghost left them to be together, and Xander cuddled next to his mate, careful of Silas between them.Unable to stand the distance, he pulled her closer and Silas blew out a breath, a wave of happiness that both his parents lay next to him.
Xander shivered in fear at how close he was to losing her.If it wasn’t for Silas, they would have most likely succeeded.With his adrenaline completely drained, but with the horrifying thoughts swirling around in his mind, he fell into a fitful, yet exhausted sleep with his arms wrapped tightly around his entire world.
