Not While I'm Around

by Wakahisa D. Manami

Law is finally free, but at great cost. He's gravely injured and fighting to come to terms with the most recent developments. His best friend is in prison and he's not allowed to see him; his mate has found out about the circle; the secrets he intended to take to the grave are being revealed one by one. He never wanted anyone to find out. Not like this.

37. Chapter 37

Law squeezes Leo's hand.

"He's been hoping to see you for ten years, Leo. He's so glad you're alive. He's looking forward to seeing you. I know you're afraid he'll hate you for how you turned out, but I'm willing to bet he's terrified you hate him for never checking. He's probably just as scared and nervous as you are. And I'll be here waiting for you to come home. OK?"

Leo nods, bending down for a kiss, and Law presses their lips together.

"Get some alone time with Kid while I'm gone," the older Omega murmurs as he pulls away. "You've been eating each other with your eyes."

"Will do. Tell your father I said hi."

Leo nods, jumping down the steps to get into the car. Law waves as they drive off before he wheels himself into the house to find Kid.
