Kael's POV
Raven had woken up. We needed to know how today's incident had affected him.
I carried him out of Roman's room, his sleepy form still clinging to me like a baby.
A light smile played on my lips. The feeling of having your own flesh and blood in your arms was bliss.
He smelled sweet and comforting, that I could go on holding him forever.
No one rushed him. Everyone acted as usual and let the little guy sink into reality.
I kept walking slowly around the drawing room while others watched me. Especially Eira. I felt that longing in her eyes, wondering when her son would be this comfortable with her like he was with me.
She was holding back to not rush him. I will talk with her about it and try to comfort her later.
"Aren't you done sleeping?" I asked.
In response, he snuggled his face against my shoulder for a moment and finally opened his eyes. I haven't seen him sleep this relaxed until now.
