Tenkai had been laying there healing, absorbing thr qi in his jade coffin. His coffin was in a mausoleum, with dimly lit candles, and guards all around, so no one could get in and for when he woke up. As he was healing, in a deep state of sleeping off and on. He could hear the outside noise, the world changing. How the music changed, the seasons changed. The loud storms, the guns shooting at each other, the whispers of his name. The sounds of new buildings being put up. The sounds of the human earth seemed to seep into his ears. From time to time he dreamt of his past, a time where he lived in a castle, and he ruled over all in the open. Now he could still rule but he bow could hide in the shadows. He could also kill and it seemed to be more welcomed, except innocents. Back in the old days people persecuted him, while loving him. It reminded him of the story of jesus, of how he was loved but yet he was persecuted. 

Tenkai's body was almost done with healing, as small breezes began to flow through the site. Tenkai began to move his toes, forcing his mind to concentrate as he healed. He circulated the chi around his body, as he made his muscles twitch from time to time, making his toes move. Then his anckles, them his knees, then his fingers, and his hands. He made all of his joints move slowly. As time went on, tenkai could feel his wounds fully close. Suddenly the wind picked up, the top coming off, and clamming against thr cemented walls. As he continued to obsorb the chi, his upper half sitting up, thr coffin cracking and a huge a explosion happened, as he opened his eyes. 

he felt the darkness surround him, then suddenly he felt someone else was there. He opened his eyes, and saw the candle light was lit back up to and a woman was there, Anna. She was waiting for him. She was his personal bodyguard. He looked down at himself and sighed, he wore all white, he looked like he was from Egypt, the days of pharaohs. Except when he looked back up at Anna he knew he was in a different timeline. 

"Sire, you finally awoke I've come to get you.. Thankfully I'm right on time." She said softly. 

He nodded and got out of the now destroyed mausoleum, as he got up, he felt heavier, he felt his hair had grown longer, and his clothes were too heavy, he hated it. 

"Sir, I have a car right outside, I can take you to a hidden base home to clean up and get you all set up. Then from there you can figure out what you want to do." She said, he nodded. 

He looked over and noticed Savannah wasn't here, he wondered where she was, or did she even know he was awake. He closed himself off, to protect her for now. 

"She's safe, she's with her family guards. We need to get you somewhere safe, you aren't ready for a battle or anything, you've just finished healing and your cultivation base is low because of what happened to you. Please be patient." Anna pleaded. 

"Alright, I'll do as you say for now. But keep me updated, if she doesn't know yet that I'm awake don't say anything for her protection. The less she knows the better. We are each others weakness." Anna nodded. 

Tenkai followed Anna, the door being opened for him, he slipped in quietly as anna got in and drove off. The car must have been a personal car, so not to be suspicious or caught by the public eye. 

​​​​​​He watched out the window as she drove them to the safe house she seemed to have. He wasn't ready to face anyone anyway, anna was right, he needed time to prepare. As she drove up tp the place, he noded they were out in the countryside. Gates were open for them. He noticed more guards, he looked back at Anna with a raised a brow. 

"Their yours, I kept the ones that were loyal to you, until you came back. Since I'm your right hand, they listen to me." She said softly. 

As the drove around the half circle then finally getting out, when the door was opened for him. 

As he got out, thr Butler and maids, along with guards bowed before him. He nodded to them, then suddenly he was hugged. 

He looked down at who hugged him, he looked over at Anna who snorted, it was his daughter Raven, he ruffled her hair. Then he looked up and saw Anya and Akashi and Noel standing in their doorway watching him. To that he had to raise a brow. 

"We were worried, mom has the others, we just couldn't sit and wait. Mom doesn't know you're awake, we couldn't find you.. So I remembered Anya was in a experiment facility with you and back then there was a guard you used to have Anna.. Anya was the only one who had a away to contact her. We knew where ever Anna was you were." Raven said, Tenkai looked back down at her and nodded. 

"Come on ets get your father inside before someone notices him. After all he just came out of a grave, alive and in a full bill of clean health. If anyone saw that, imagine what the papers will say tomorrow. We have enough on our plate as it is." Anna stated truthfully. 

Tenkai was about to argue but then Noel interrupted him, "She's right, we already almost lost you too many times to that, plus you just got healed, whatever you want to do we can do it in the house, it's big enough for it." Noel stated, he sighed and walked into the house. 

as Tenkai stepped in, he noticed the house was a lot bigger than it looked from the outside. He could tell space magic was done here. Tenkai walked forward and the entrance was grand, he it had two stair cases that connected to the second floor and steps from the second had two spirals in each side, he raised a brow. On the first floor it was all open. Massive windows. He could smell food had been cooked for him and probably other people. He swirled around his hair moved a little, as he could see high ceelings, there was offices too. He raised a brow, as he saw more guards and people moving around settling in for the while. 

He felt eyes on him, so he looked at everyone, his eyes half closed, as of bored or annoyance, he was right everyone was watching him. Anya giggled, he looked over, to see her wiggle her nose as she giggled. 

"What?" He asked softly, barely a bove a whisper. 

"It's been a long time, so this is the first time I've seen you look curious.. Normally you are always serious looking. I missed you daddy." She gave a half smile, he could tell she wanted to cry. 

His facial expression soften, as he opened his arms up for her. He noticed jasmine doing the same. He looked up to seeing Akashi shaking his head, as he looked out the window, but watching from the corner of his eyes. Tenkai gave a hint of a smirk then dropped it. He thought he saw akashis eyes, widened but like his own smirk it disappeared. 

suddenly Anya and Jasmine gave him a hug, sounds of sniffs here and there, echoed in he air. Tenkai had been gone along time, he also wanted to know where the rest of his kids were but he decided to let them open up to him, or he would worry about that after his shower. As if they red his mind Anna seemed to read the room, and started giving out orders making sure Tenkai didn't do anything strenuous on his body and mind. 

"Anya.. Jasmine, why don't you two show your father his room, the rest of you go wash up and change so you can eat then rest. I will get everything set up you guys just get cleaned up." Anna said. 

Like a kid Anya pulled Tenkai by the hand, leading the way up to his room. Jasmine holding his hand while following. Tenkai looked around, he saw how tall everything was, like Anna was giving him some familiarity, for s sense of confort after he got out of his coffin. 

Suddenly, they came to a stop, jasmin peeking from behind him, he turned to look at her clearly he was amused by their shyness. Nothing changed with these two, it was like the old days were back when they were just babies. As they came to a stop, he noticed the doors were huge, as he put a hand to them and the doors lit up and opened as if they were made for him alone. As he walked in, he saw nature blended in with his room. A bed hung from the cealing. It has posts and such, and it hung down to three inches above the floor. He had a water fall and moon lit flowers. It was like his room waz for the moon light. 

As the girls sat on the bed, he looked around and saw where his night clothes were. Tenkai quickly grabbed his clothes snf hopped in the shower, cleaning all the crap they put on him, to keep him sacred in there. He now he smelled of jasmine and lilacs. And deep forest smell. As he finished up, he dried off, his hair really curly. As he came out wearing black sweats and a black short sleaved T-shirt. He went to sit on thr floor so one of his girls could do his hair. 

Suddenly jasmine was braiding his hair, using speed, while Anya was parting and brushing it, as if they were team working it. As Tenkai let them do his hair, he started to doze off. Then he could hear Anna knock at thr door. 

"Come in." He said, as the doors opened themselves. 

Anna walked in watching, as Tenkai looked up to seeing Anna shocked at the talented hair designs. It was like Viking and Egyptian and Africa came together and made a hair style. As the finished up Tenkai was dozing in and out, and anna had let them know dinner was ready, just as they were finishing. 

"There you go, all done papa." Jasmine said, as he got up when they finished putting hair jewelery in his hair. 

Finally as they walked down to the living room, he noticed the coffee table was set up to eat on.  As he sat on the floor, he bowed gid hesd like thr Chinese and Japanese do. And began to eat. 

​​​​"So papa what do you plan on doing now?" Anya asked, just ad akashi sat next to her. 

"Hmm slowly and quietly getting back to my orginal strength and more powerful than what I was.. Then I'm going to make secret preparations.. Maybe see if i can find out where your mom is, at.. Maybe contact her or something." He said, taking a bite of his food. 

"Good idea, the less you are out of the public for now the better. So basically your plan is, to look idle but in secret you are going tl train huh?" Noel asked. 

"Yeah, it's better that way.. I'm already too flashy as it is.. So living here outside of the city. And wearing light colored during the day and black during the night so I won't be so noticable." Tenkai stated softly. 

He took another bite, as they changed the subject, noel teasing Raven and as he ate quietly he was lost in his thoughts watching everyone tease each other took him back to when Savannah was teasing him. He had missed her so much, 

Suddenly he was pulled out of his thoughts, Anna calling his name, he blinked, everyone now staring at him.

"Yes?  What is it?" He asked. 

"You alright?  You looked to be just out of it." Anna stated. 

"Oh pfft.. I'm okay, just a little tired nothing I can't handle." He said softly. 

Then they were pulled back into their own conversations. Suddenly Tenkai felt like a third wheel, so he got up and went back to his room to sleep for a little bit. 

Savannah had sat back as she half  listened to the guards,  going on about the activity down at the local docks. Her heart felt her heart heavy as she thought of her husband. They were destined to be each other's soul mate but they were their own worst enemies on times. She was lost without him and wished he would wake. 

Since she woke from her own healing with an emptiness in her heart that held him close. Many a night she laid her head down upon his coffin and dreamt of him, always ending  up with getting nightmares and waking sweat clinging to her brow. 

Wrath looks over at her before walking over and lays his hand on her shoulder, saying "we all miss him, my Queen. We do need this business to be taken care of first before we. Too many innocents are being brought into this place." 

"Alright Alright, but I'm exhausted it's been over a month now and still no closer to finding this bastard who is bringing these innocents into the city."  she got up from her chair and looked at the files. Letting out a loud yawn as she kept the nightmare at bay for over a week now, by killing minions of the boss she was chasing. 

Her sources running dry as the news broke of deaths scattered around the place with parts missing. 

​​​​​​

​​

Tenkai stepped outside to look up at the night sky. He dug into his pockets, noticing there was a thing of smokes and a lighter. He pulled them out, looking around to find a place to sit. As he looked around he noticed a massive tree. A place where he could sit wbd look up at the moon. Maybe even take afternoon naps, using the blossoms to cover him from rhe sun. He pulled a smoke and put the rest into his pockets. He walked over to the tree, climbing it like a damn monkey climbing for bananas. He hopped and swung from branch to branch. Finally he found a good spot to relax and lay down on. 

As he got to the spot in the tree, he sighed leaning back against it, he finally pulled the lighter and lit the cigarette. He put the lighter away, taking a hit and let it out.hearing his children in the living room goofing off, he look back up to the sky, deep into his thoughts. He wondered how he would go from this step. He knew what he wanted to do but he wondered how he would do it. Anna had his most loyal men at his disposal, he could get information and then he could use it to his advantage. He could also secretly build while publically play around. He was bored enough after, he had so much time on his hands now.

"Were you a bit overwhelmed with the children?  If you like I could.. " she started to say but he interrupted. 

"No!.. Sorry no I want them here. I miss my wife and children.. I have been working so hard.. It's rare I get to see them enjoying life like this. I need them just as much as they need me. You too Anna.. You need to enjoy life.. But while we publically enjoy like let's secretly get ahead. Okay?" He said softly. 

"Yeah.. I have to agree.. I want to get stronger with you.. So I can protect those that I want to protect." She said softly. 

He looked down at her, taking a hit of his cigarette, then looked back up at the stars, he wondered what Savannah was doing right now. 

"By the way incase you're wondering, taking care of a public enemy, I'll figure out more but they seemed to be after the humans this time." She said softly. 

Tenkai eyes widened, he cursed under his breathe, he couldn't go out right now. He just woke up, not enough qi or power to do anything to help her. He hated feeling like this, helpless to do anything. He tsked. 

"Give her a message.. Tell her to look to the shadows. If she says she's my wife they'll help her in my stead." He said, as Annas eyes widened. 

"You... But what about the help from the kids?" Anna asked. 

"No.. Even if they are powerful they don't need to get involved. She wouldn't forgive me if I sent them to her." He said, and anna nodded. 

Anna left his presence to send the latter to Savannah. 

(Dear Savannah. 

This is anna, tenkai's personal bodyguard. 

he told me to give you a message, he said to look to the shadows for help, just tell then you're his wife and show them the necklace he gave you. It's to help you to get then to help you.

He can't come right now, he just finished healing and when has enough power he will come for you.. If you haven't found him yet. 

He said he misses you and loves. He misses thr children and loves them to. Take care My Queen.)

Tenkai nodded his approval and junped out of the tree and webt to try and get some rest to start his training in the morning.

She turned her head as she heard the door knock, while getting ready for her assignment. Wraith took an envelope and walked over to her as he passed it to her. Recognising the handwritting over her husband's guard a smile crept over her lips and looked up at wraith. Opening the envelope fast and as her eyes wandered over the words. 

Dear Savannah. 

This is anna, tenkai's personal bodyguard. 

he told me to give you a message, he said to look to the shadows for help, just tell then you're his wife and show them the necklace he gave you. It's to help you to get then to help you.

He can't come right now, he just finished healing and when has enough power he will come for you.. If you haven't found him yet. 

He said he misses you and loves. He misses the children and loves them to. Take care My Queen

"The king is awake and gathering his strength. We will have the backing of the shadows". Savannah folded the letter and placed it in the desk drawer. Grabbing up a pen and a scent note paper only that her love could smell of her favourite scent of Jasmine and cherry blossoms. Sitting down and started to write back a letter to him.

My love, 

Thank the gods your awake, I've missed you some terribly. Your probably been told of the humans I've been chasing by now and I know nothing can get passed those pesky guards even our Anna.

All good though and are glad she has let you know.  I always wear the necklace you gave me all those centuries ago. I will seek out the shadows as i will need the help from all I can use right now....

I love you so much my Monster and I've always visited you in the evening. Never leaving your side though the night and can't wait for you to return to my side and let me sleep with peace and calm. Nightmares of our fight with the hunters are draining right now and trying to keep busy dealing with sex traffickers and their sick fucking boss. 

Love yours forever

Savannah xxx

She folded up the note and placed it into the envelope, handing it to Wraith. "Make sure you give this to him for me and let me know how he looks but don't tell him of my powers just yet."

He nodded his head as he vanished from the office. "very well my Queen, I shall get this to him now. I will get the boys ready and set out in about thirty minutes or so." he said as he left.

Savannah grabbed her swords that her husband had given her so many years before the great War that sent them to the healing world. Placing them upon the desk, she opened another drawer and pulled out a black silk box containing the necklace that had been mentioned in the letter.

Gently lifting it out of the box and slipped it around her throat, clasping it in place. Smoothing it against her skin, opening her mind slightly. 

Tenkai opening his eyes to the darkest parts of the early morning, his eyes dulled, due to waking up. As was coming to, he felt body heat around him. He sat up a bit and felt his children, well the ones that came to see him. The letter Savannah wrote back quickly in his hand bunched up. So he looked around, hearing early morning birds chirping. He quietly and lightly moved children over so he could get up abd get ready to train. 

He got up and walked over to the desk writing her back, as soon as possible. 

"Dearest little immortal, 

I'm glad you are well, be careful, do as you wish but I ask you be save and be cautious, the enemy is vigilant. 

Oh uhm Jasmine, Noel, akashi, Raven and Anya are here with me incase you are wondering. They personally found Anna so they could see me. If you wish, you can contact anna through the kids as well.. Or can have her send you away to find us. Also I think our letters are being watched, so be careful what you write. 

Remember our enemies are watching. So just let me know what you like to do.

We are well here, I'm about to go for awalk, maybe gather some fresh air.. It's been awhile since I've been outside. Maybe I'll goof oof with the kids and build up my stamina.

I love you and just come when you're ready. Until then. 

You're monster, 

Tenkai

Finally Tenkai finished, then he had it sent, and went to get changed into his training clothes. He want to get at least two hundred laps in before the kids and everyone else woke up. 

As he put on black sweats and a black shirt, along with his black boots. As he put his hair in a ponytail, and stepped outside to go for a run. 

Wraith came back in as Savannah finished getting ready dressed all in black. With her swords upon her back along her guns under her jacket in holsters, along with enough ammo if needed.

"I found Anna my Queen and made sure he got his letter. I also got this back off Noel to pass to you as he and some of the others are with the King for a few days."  holding out his hand and passed the letter.

She smiled as she took it and sat back in her chair reading." are the boys ready to go. If so we are leaving soon as i wrote back." she said as she lifted the pen again to write back.

My Darling Monster, 

I knew our kids would be near you especially the older ones. So at least I know that they are safe and out of harms way. I will soon be  coming to you once we have scouted around a few areas and few other things I will speak more later.

Can't wait to see you once more my love, my soul mate. Inima mea. 

Don't forget you contact our bond as its opened right now. 

Până mai târziu dragostea mea. În curând voi fi din nou în brațele tale încă o dată. Te iubesc pentru totdeauna și întotdeauna. 

Forever your lil immortal

Savannah xx

She folded the letter as her oldest son Noel came in and hugged his mother. "your not pissed at me are you mom?"

Savannah started to laugh "no my angel, I felt your father stir and knew you kids will be wanting to see him. Take this to him for me and stay put until I send for you" 

Noel nods and takes the letter vanishing from the room. "Alright mom," 

​​​​​​She grabbed her keys to her bike and walked out of the office. Looking at the boys and raised an eyebrow at them. 

"let's get this over with and get as much information, save some innocents from this bastard." as she walked out of the Manor and to her bike as the guys went to the cars looking like sardines to the huge size of each of them. 

She just laughed as she watched them pile into the cars. Swinging her leg over the bike and turned over the engine. Revving up the engine and took off down to the huge gates of the Manor grounds. 

​​​​​

As Tenkai ran, feeling a bit sluggish but just made it in time for Anna to finish breakfast. As he began to slow down, he saw Noel coming up to him with water and Savannahs letter. Finally coming to a stop, Tenkai took the towel and wiped the Sweat from his necl and face. Then he took the glass of water and quickly drank it down, then handed it back. 

He opened the letter, and read: 

My Darling Monster, 

I knew our kids would be near you especially the older ones. So at least I know that they are safe and out of harms way. I will soon be  coming to you once we have scouted around a few areas and few other things I will speak more later.

Can't wait to see you once more my love, my soul mate. Inima mea. 

Don't forget you contact our bond as its opened right now. 

Până mai târziu dragostea mea. În curând voi fi din nou în brațele tale încă o dată. Te iubesc pentru totdeauna și întotdeauna. 

Forever your lil immortal

Savannah xx

"Did she give you an orders?" Tenkai asked looking up from letter. 

"Yeah she told us to stay with you until basically further notice or she calls for us." Noel said. 

"alright well since you're here, I'll have your studies transfered over, you can train while you're at it." Tenkai said, he nodded. 

They walked back to the house, Tenkai put the letter into his pocket and stepped inside. 

"Hey, I was just going to have someone come for you.. Breakfast is ready." Anna stated to both of them. 

Tenkai looked around noticing the rest of the kids were there with him, he nodded as the others hugged him. He had to admit he did miss all of them, he ruffled their hair, as nadia puffed her cheeks at him, he snorted. 

"Papa, are you finally back?" Nadia asked. 

"Yeah, I just need to ttain to get back to how powerful I oncr was. Which I've already started. If you guys want I can start up a small training sessions fpr you guys." He said, and like big kids that they were they all cheered. 

As Anna set thr table in the dining area, he looked at how massive it was. As he looked around, he noticed the sun had come up, it was still really early in the morning though. He took a seat, just as Anna finished setting up. He watched the kids pile food on their plates as he drank his tea. Enjoying thr family moment, he took a bite of his fruit and cream.the kids giggling like they used to when they were little. He had missed so much, he had missed his wife as well. He couldn't wait for her to come, he knew it wouldn't be long, until then he had to keep everyone safe. At least here St the safe house. If he took his time, and kept publically idle, he had more than enough time to get to where he once was. 

As they all ate their breakfast, he got up, feeling full, he took care of his dishes, and began to clean up, while Anna ate. He cleaned the pots and pans. Putting away the left overs, seeing that the food on the table was all eatened, he saw Anna helping as thr kids went to do the things he needed to do. 

"You go finish training, I'll finish up here.. You did most of it. Besides we need you at your best." Anna said. 

He wanted to argue with her on that, but he knew she was right, so he left to finish working out his body. 

She rode through the quiet streets dodging the odd car that got in her way. The wind blowing through her long hair as her hands gripped the handlebars, feeling her powers rise through her body that gave off a soft glow upon her skin. 

Looking back, Savannah watched the brothers cars try and keep up with her. A soft laugh escaped her lips as she slowly pulled over to the nearby Alleyway. She could hear the slamming of the doors from the brothers cars as they came up and looked over at one of the closed clubs, she had Intel on. 

Phury came up beside her "Right, i want you to go to the roof and keep an eye out for trouble. Take butch with you." 

"Ok my Queen,"  both Butch and Phury took to the shadows climbing up onto the roof waving down to say they were in place.  Savannah pointed to places for the others to hide out, just incase of trouble. 

​Wraith followed her keeping to the darkness and made their way to the back entrance. Seeing the glass window, Savannah pulled out her lockpicks and made short work of the flimsy lock that kept her from her and the information she wanted. 

Twisting the door knob and slipping inside, Wraith closed the door behind them. Making their way to the managers office, they both started looking through cabinets and pulled out files of all the places around the city. 

"Fuck, we have them all even the name of the bastard we are looking for." She grinned as butch came running. Wraith grabbed the files and headed out of the office leaving it as they found it. 

"Queen, two cars are heading this way."  Butch said as he went to the window. Watching the darkened shadows swirled around the eight men that had just got out of the car. "fuck, I have no  clue what just happened but they ain't there any more" 

Savannah walked over to the window and looked out "it's fine, it's the Kings men watching over us"  she said as she slipped out of the office, Butch pulled the door closed and returned to the others. 

The shadow made himself known as she moved silently through the darkness. "You should be more careful at night my dear" He said. 

Pulling out her necklace and showed him no harm" I was told by my husband to let you know who I am and that you would recognise this necklace"

"You must be Tenkai's mate Savannah, I've heard stories of the Great warrior Queen. Tell me what makes you come to this evil place." he asked as he stood back from her. 

​​​​​​"I'm here to gather information of an evil bastard who likes to innocent people. I would like you and your people to keep your eyes open for me." she asked as she placed the na lace under her jacket. 

​​​​​​"very well, my Queen. I will get them to seek out the information for you. Has the King awoken from his slumber yet" he asked her. With a nod of her head she vanished back to the car, she needed to get to her husband and to see all her children. 

The Manor seemed very quiet as of late without the laughter of children. 

​​​​​

As Tenkai let Anna take over, he went to do his warm up. He started slow, he loomed snd felt like slump of skin and bones. Since he ate, he would gain fat, and he could gain muscle. So sitd and pull up snd push up,  were all fifty, his cros crosses were 50 as well. He would do upsit down push ups. He would learn how to become the air and the shadows again. 

As he did this, his body began to Sweat, feeling thr burn in his body, gis fat slowly turning into muscle. As he finished, he was full of Sweat, and he needed to catch his breath. As he sat down, taking a break, he sat Jasmine come with cold ice water. He noticed it was huge glass, he raised a brow. He took it gently, gulping half of it down. Feeling refreshed, he looked back noticing his kids were there. 

"Papa, can we train like you?" Anya asked. 

"Aren't you already training?" Tenkai asked. 

"Yes but, it's not good enough, we aren't getting trained like we heard about you. You were so powerful, even in your weakened state you sre powerful.. I won't answer fo the others but I feel weak.. I'm tired of being bullied and I have another competition coming up and I'm tired of failing." Akashi said, he looked frustrated and pissed of. 

Tenkai knew that type of look, he had the exact same feeling, he would do it but he needed to warn them that his training would-be harsh and could kill them. 

"You do realize I don't train normally like others.. I do devilish, hellish training. I go through life or death situations.even if others take a break.. I do not.. Unless I need to eat or rest.. Or necessary.. I don't stop, I keep going. Can you handle that?  You need to have extreme high will power and the concentration. Do you still want to?" Tenkai stated ad he began to close his eyes. 

"Papa.. I'm tired of people saying I can't do it.. We are disgracing you if we sre this weak.. I'm tired of feeling useless.. I want to be able to protect those that I love.. And I'm sure we all feel the same. Right brothers and sisters?" Anya looked between them. 

Tenkai studied them and nodded, "Alright, you need to do 50 laps. That'd the lowest I'm going since you are all new to this. For sn entire week.. If you can't do that then quit." Tenkai said harshly. 

Anya cheered, the rest seemed to feel satisfied, he gave a hint of a smirk, his kids were after all his little monsters. 

"Get started or no dinner tonight." He spoke again ad they all began to cheered and follow Anya. 

"Sir.. Are you sure that's right?  What if Savannah gets mad at you for this?" Anna stated from behind him. 

"Hah.. Right, they can quit anytime.. Akashi is right though.. They are our kids, if they can't even protect themselves how can they call themselves my children. You will understand.. My kids aren't cowards. Including the ones I adopted. Well they aren't adopted anymore.. Since I gave them my blood.. And they are now immortal like the rest.. I'm not forcing them too anyways.. They asked for this.. And I did warn them.. If I trwin them Savannah wouldn't have to worry about their safety in our world." Tenkai stated. 

"I know that but.. Sir their just kids." Anna stated, he sighed. 

"Anna, they will be tested daily, by beings of our world.. Kids or not they are of mine and Savannahs bloodline.  They will not get a break, and infact people will try to assassinate them, they need to be able to at least to protect themselves.. And when we get into s war.. They have their own responsibilities to protect those they wish to protect. They will also be given titles by me and their mother.. They have to protect that as well.. Even in the human and our world they have to do things to keep their identity. They can't do that if their weak." He stated the truth. 

"I understand.. I just wish you all had it easier." Anna stated. 

"I wish they did too but nothing of our world is easy.. Speaking of training.. How's yours coming along?" He asked. 

"I'm in the disastrous realm." Anna said, as Tenkai raised a brow and gave a hint of a smirk. 

"Good don't stop your training if you raise to the boid realm, I make you a sword and some daggers." He said, as he began to meditate, absorbing the qi around him. 

He felt Anna leave, as he felt light and dark being absorbed into his body. It felt like he grasped the laws of space. Feeling like he hit the first stages of qi absorbtion. He felt the shadows stir, as he opened his mind a little to Savannah. 

Getting back on the bike as the paper work went with the boys back to Manor. She needed a long hot bath to get ready to see her husband, washing the scent of that evil place. It screamed abuse and torture within that one office, at one stage she thought she saw dead blood splashed up the wall.

Driving through the streets once more to clear her mind, the gentle humming of her power rising deep within her body. She couldn't stand the sound it made, after waking one night with black wings spread out over the bed. Savannah jumped out of bed screaming as it wasn't something she was expecting..

The Manor was in the distance as she drove faster to get home. Pulling up outside the main entrance and turning off the engine, swinging her leg over the seat.   As one of the brothers came out to put the bike away. Seeing Wraith by the office, she held up hand "Not now, I'm going to Bath and then see my husband. We can go over this in the morning"  she said bluntly as she ran  up the stairs and along the corridor to her bedroom.

Savannah kicked off her boots and went into the bathroom to turn on the hot water to the bathtub. She added her favorite fragrances of jasmine and cherry blossoms to the water as she stripped out of her clothes and threw them in the hamper to be washed.

Her mind opened as she felt the bond between her and her husband become stronger. "Hello my love, I know you can hear me" she smirked as she stepped into the hot water and sat down covering herself with bubbles.

As she leaned back, her hand grabbing the sponge and soap to wash the evilness from her body. Then washing her hair and then conditions it after, rinsing the conditioner from her long black hair. After a few minutes, Savannah stood up and grabbed the fluffy white towel, wrapping it around her body and stepped out of the bath.

Walking back into the bedroom, she pulled open the doors to her wardrobe and grabs a purple and gold dress. Taking it over to the bed along with her underwear of black lace. She dries herself off and then moisturises her skin. Slipping into the bra and panties, then her dress smoothing it over her figure.. Lastly she picked up her hair brush,  running it slowly through her hair.

She smiled softly as she looked at herself in the mirror and seeing the woman she once was after all the months of being in the earth next to her husband to heal. 

"I'm coming to you now my love, it's been so long" hearing the knock on the door and her oldest daughter Raven walked in. Giving her mother a hug.

"you look beautiful mom, are you going to see father. I can take you to see him"  she said.

"i am my angel, I've missed him so much over these past few years with him healing  longer than me" Savannah said to her daughter as she put on her necklace on. Picking up her bag and walked out of her room. Holding raven's hand as she takes her mother  to her father. 

As he continued to absorb the light and dark qi, he could feel Savannah was okay, and the shadows were doing their job. He gave a hint of a smirk. Hearing her now get into the bath, talking to him. 

"I can.. I'm just training, since I can't come see you.. I wanted to check in.. But it looks like everything turned out alright. I've already started preperations to get us where wr need to be....jusr be prepared to see some interesting things when you get here." He spoke softly. 

finally feeling a warm feeling in the pit of his stomach, he hit the next level past warrior and past qi condensation. He hit thr next level because lf chaos qi. Seeing Savannah get ready, to come over, he went about his own business until she got here. As he finished, he could see the sun going down, he had done laps, warm-ups, along with physical training. Tomorrow he needed to check deep into his mind to see what he had for martial arts for his new physical body. 

As he opened his eyes, he not only noticed the sun had gone down, but his children were gone. Most likely getting ready for their notherecoming over and supper. He suddenly he saw pants of a male. It was wraith, he raised a brow. He stood up ad wraith handed him a towel. Tenkai dried himself off. 

"Always alone, training harder than anyone else. Nothings changed has it kai." Wraith said. 

Tenkai gave a hint of a smirk, "What can I say, I train because of I have family and friends I want to protect. I want to be so powerful that it's impossible for my enemies to destroy me." Tenkai stated truthfully. 

As they began to walk back to the house, he saw Anna at the kitchen doors to the outside. He nodded, as wraith went on ahead of him. 

"What is it?" He asked softly ruffling her hair. 

"Savannah is in her way.. You asked me to let you know of any updates on here.. Raven went to greet her as nf bring her here. We sent some guards with her. Wraith of course you know decided to stay....and although supper is ready, I'm setting the table. It would be nice if you all could eat together." She said cheerfully. 

"You are eating with us too right?" He asked, her eyes widened. 

"Kai I couldn't.. I'm just a guard.. You are of the highest royal god bloodline.. I couldn't possibly... " anna started to say. 

"You know we don't care about that anna.. You are my sister.. Guard or not.. I won't take no for an answer.. If you get bullied on this mannor.. Send them to me.. Got it?" He ordered softly. 

"Okay.. But I wanna sit next to your other sister." She started to pout like family. 

This made Tenkai happy, he rufed her hair again, she yelled at him as usual, like his other siblings would. Then he went to go take a shower as Anna playfully punched him in the chest. Seeing his muscles started to become more defined, under his clothes, anna slightly blushed and punched him again and ran off. He did laugh at that slightly. 

Finally in the shower washing the days sweat off, he used jasmine and ocean tropical scents. Along with lillies and liliacs. As he finished he stepped out and dried himself off. Going into his closet, he picked out a black background and purpled outlined shirt. He the picked a lot purple and black pants with outlined gold. His hair already done, he quickly got dressed. As he opened his door, he was greeted with his children, they hugged him. Nadia jumped hugged him. 

"Papa!!!  You really are back.. We missed you!" She said speaking for all the kids. 

As he looked at them, he noticed Anya wasn't scowling, as usual, he raised a brow and tilted his head. Her eyes widened, as she looked away, cherry red like she got caught secretly sharing. 

He found this amusing, he ruffled Nadia's hair, they had grown so much, they grown now. 

"Hey girls, have you been treating your mother well?" He asked softly. 

"Yes.. But it's kinda hard to really talk to her, she's.. " Nadia began to say as Jr covered her mouth. 

"Is that right?" Tenkai spoke, softly not showing any malice which kinda made everyone nervous. 

"Well I have no right to judge so as long as she's well.. That's all I can ask for." He offered instead. 

He began to leave, feeling hurt by his own children to keep secrets, but didn't he?  He was more frustrated with himself that he missed out on a lot of their growth. He sighed, ad he began to walk away his long hair clinking in tge ponytail he had it in. 

"Wait.. Dad.. You aren't mad are you?" Anya asked. 

Tenkai stopped, his eyes looked to his side, not affected that she was right next to him. "Nah.. How can I be?  I'm actually disappointed in myself is all." He ruffled her hair, as Jasmine hugged him behind. 

"What are you doing?" Tenkai asked, his face blank. 

"Papa dont do this to yourself.. You always give this solumn look, like you're upset and sad at something.. Papa what happened that night you disappeared." Anya asked, they were watching him now. 

"Nothing unusual girly.. Let's just go eat." He said, as they let go. 

"If you must know.. Ask Anna.. I'm too vengefull to speak of it." He said, trying to keep the coldness from his voice on the subject. 

Then as they made it to supper, he stopped, he could feel her at the door. His heart beating heavy in chest. Savannah was standing on the other side of the door. Then was it was opened, he saw her, his breath caught lin his throat, he cleared it. 

Placing her hand upon the door post as she could sense him behind it. Her heart began to race deep in her chest as it had been so long since she had seen her husband. 

Reaching out her hand and turns the knob slowly, pushing it open. She saw him there before her as a single tear rolled down her cheek, it took all her calmness not to run into his arms but their children and two of the guards sat around the table.

Savannah let out a stifled sob and ran to him, she couldn't help the fact she loved her husband so much. "am I dreaming this and that your standing here before me. I really can't tell if this is real or not right now my love." 

Looking around and seeing their children, the looks on their faces told her that it had been hard on them for the past few months since she dug herself into her work and training. Feeling that she had failed them as a mother, when all she wanted to do was to protect them all. 

Raven and Noel came up and hugged her tightly "mom, we understand that you were missing father and trying to get rid of the bad guys who are hurting the innocent. We knew what you were doing and that you came home to cry yourself to sleep. You forget the doors are thin and we hear things from screaming and shouting to you crying"

All the other kids run over to hug her too "I'm so sorry my angels, I woke and found out that your father wasn't there it broke my heart. I worked to keep the dreams away" 

Standing up and walked back to her husband,  wrapping her arms around his waist. She picked up the scent that made her feel loved but she was unsure what kind of warmth he would give her after their argument that night. 

"I'm sorry, my love. I was so foolish that night back in the forest..you have the right to be angry with me, I did it to get the hunters from the kids and the families of our people" biting her lip as she picked up the scent of food which  made her stomach growl with hunger. 

The kids helped her sit next down at the table and her youngest son Jr crawled upon her lap. Wrapping her arms around him, she missed him as she found that since his father had been healing  Jr would creep in next to her as she sobbed. It was his tiny hand that found hers to keeping her sane. 

She looked down at him and smiled giving him a hug tightly. "hey lil guy. Hope your behaving and not giving the guards a hard time" he grinned. 

"Always momma"  he said as he picked up some meat and tried to feed her. 

Seeing Savannah, in the flesh, after so long, he let his features soften to her. As he did a once over, he saw she looked perfectly healthy and beautiful. Just as beautiful as the day he first met her if not more beautiful. As jumped hugged him, his eyes widened, his arms came around her. He leaned his head forward, kissing her forehead. He looked like she was about to cry, yeah she definitely had it just as hard as he did. 

He watched her pull away, and interact with the children, he gave a hint of a smile. She was a good mother, no matter what she went through, she always chose her family first, it was one of the reasons he chose her, falling inlove with her. She not only was and still is a good mother, but he knew she worked hard, others thought she as lscking because of her bloodline. He knew better, he would support her no matter what she decided, as long as she stayed by his side, he would let her do as she pleases. 

He gave a light chuckle at hearing her stomach growl, not giving him a chance to answer. He followed everyone to the table anya pulling him along. As he sat down, he saw Jr hopping up on Savannahs lap, trying to feed her, he raised a brow. Anya on the side, jasmine right next to her, the boys sitting across from them. As he took a bite, he heard Noel starting conversations. 

"Mom.. We started training with father.. We begged him until he finally gave in." Noel said as Anya giggled. 

"Although we love the trainers that were set out for us.. I just feel like father is so much better... We need to become stronger so you two don't kill yourselves protecting us again." Akashi chimed in. 

"I have to agree.. I know you guys want to protect us but.. You can't always be there.. We aren't children anymore. Also it makes you two look bad if we are too weak.. You cab lose your titles and rank if you aren't careful. There is always someone who challenge your authority.. And if you aren't around to defend it. We at least should have the power to help you.. It's our turn to protect you." Raven said. 

"Yeah.. I have to say.. I'm tired of being weak.. I get beat up all the time because we are of a different bloodline. Their training is good but.. In our world it's not good enough.. We need to get stronger. Our enemies get stringer by the hour.. We should too." Anya chimed, jasmine nodded. 

"Ahem.. You raised them well my Queen...My King I'm sure you helped with that." Anna cheered. 

​​​​​"Uh that's all Savannah I'm sure.. I didn't do anything. At least I don't think I did.. But our children are good and sensible.. Even if their wild beasts." He winked. 

"We just wanted to to let you know mother.. That you did a good job. Now that father is back.. We can feel whole again." Jasmine said with a cheer. 

Tenkai blinked at his children, they were his pride and joy, Savannah his most special heart. He couldn't have found a better woman, and he would continue to make sure she knew that. As he touched Savannahs cheek, he saw she was wearing the necklace. 

"You deserve a day to relax.. If you want you can stay here, and we can do a small tournament..waych the kids do some laps.. And train a little.. Maybe eat in the garden.. Enjoy some soccer." He said as the kids cheered. 

As he let his features soften, the kids giggled at the romantic scene he was showing. 

Jr looked over at his father and smiled "I'm making momma eat father as she not been eating much" he said as the other kids nodded.j

"its true she hasn't been eating much just bites here and there. As for her taking blood to keep her going, we worry for her and for you too. We know your immortal and need blood to survive as regular food."

Savannah looked away at her husband as her knew she couldn't feed from others. The taste of mortal blood turned her stomach. "my angels, I'm alright, your father knows I can't drink from the humans without wanting to throw up after. I did feed from the animals from the forests but not much as we need them"

The kids wrinkled their noses at the thought of feeding from them.  She began to laugh thinking how silly they were. She looked at husband, her heart filled with love that had grown since they first met at her birthday.

Running her fingers over her necklace and smiled as he was the only man that she wanted in her life. He made her feel loved even when fighting over her not training enough. So when he slept she worked her body to become stronger.

Grabbing her fork as she began to eat her food, the kids were right she was starving. Jr got off her lap and sat next to her as she ate. Eating his meal as did the others.

Savannah looked over as her man and gave a soft smile. Having other things on her mind as she reached out to his mind"kids will tell tales on you when they watch you too closely my love. I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I hadn't been able to keep anything down..its been like it for the past few months. "

She knew he would be pissed knowing she hadn't been keeping herself healthy. That's one thing he truly hated was of her heath and wellbeing even after the attack on the Manor and the people who lived there with them.

That will come later when they were alone and hoped there was no arguments on their reunion but for now she was happy to be here with her family and with her husband.

Finishing her meal as she sat back full up from the delicious food.. 

As he listened to his children talk about how hard his mother had it, instead of getting upset, he knew it was due to him not being around and her own worries. He just nodded, lightly touching her cheek. 

"It's alright.. Although normally that would upset me. I know I haven't been around to help with your feeding and that's my fault your health isn't where it needs to be." He spoke softly. 

He saw her turning to look at him, smiling from time to time while enjoying her family time. He was also enjoying his time with the family. 

"Well when we finish eating I'm sure you father have a lot to catch up on." Noel stated. 

"What else is new in the mean time?" Tenkai asked, just as Anna sat down. 

"Well.. Apparently we have to go to a special type of class.. They make feel so stupid.. All their history books is wrong anyways. So why do I have to learn garbage?" Anya pouted. 

"Wait what?" Tenkai raised a brow in question. 

"Yeah apparently they want us in a special type of learning class.. Their excuse I'd because our IQ is too high for them so they want to test us on a deeper level.. But their attitudes and such towards us.. Our learning levels is lower now.. They are trying to ruin everything we learned.. They want to know where we got our knowledge from.. When I said your name. They brought in a couple catholic priests.. And when they tried to desyest our knowledge.. We had to physically fight them.. It was annoying honestly. Their learning knowledge sucks honestly. And it's quite boring." Noel stated. 

"Hmm.. I think I'm pulling you all out of public schooling and I'll hire you all private tutors.. Higher than human college levels. I'll also set everything right. And in the mean time I'll personally train you all as well.. I'll have to destroy what you lestned from them. Would that be alright?" Tenkai stated. 

"Fine by me.. Honestly the humans get on my nerves.. And quite frankly I'm tired of pretending to be nice to people who lewve bruises.. Then have to come up and use my powrrs to make it look like we haven't been harmed.. We would've fought back.. But fathers laws states.. Any immortal isn't allowed to lay hands on any human to their weaker bodies. It also states it would cause a war on both sides." Jasmine said sounding a little annoyed and sassy like her mother. 

"Oh sweet girl.. That only entails if you hit first.. But you know.. Being the child of a pure blooded immortal royal like me.. Well it has it's privileges. You children let me handle this.. I'm feeling very vengeful." Tenkai said as gave a smile that said run. 

As he gave a smile, it was a smile that said very bad things were going to happen when his smilr appaeated. 

"Oh.. Okay.. Ahem.. Well I heard there is cherry blossoms, I wanna go see them if that's okay." Nadia asked, as Anya and everyone cheered. 

"Alright.. But that wont happen this soon.. But sure. For now I'll take care of your school.. This is also good too.. It will keep us out of thr lime light while we train. We can have fun but also work hard. Perfect. It will also keep me and your mother from worrying so hard.. I like this idea.. What do you think Savannah?" He asked her for her opinion. 

Savannah was taken back in surprise as she was expecting a telling off but all she felt was his love. His hand reaching over to touch her cheek, leaning in and closed her eyes.

"i was expecting a good telling off for this my love, you know I can't do this without you"  she said as she listened to his voice that sent Shivers down through her soul. Oh how much she had missed her love all this time that he had been healing.

Hearing her oldest son Noel, tell them that he would along with the others would leave after dinner. Frowning when he said about him and the others getting bullied.

It was not the first time she hadn't been the first time she had dealt with the school over this. She growled in frustration "these teachers never learn as i went down a month ago due to the older kids teasing the younger ones too. Especially Jr over there and when he lost his temper, they called him an unruly child with mental issues. So I punched the teacher that said it in the face and pulled Jr out along with the other lil ones" she chuckled as she remembered the look on the teachers face. 

"nobody messes with my kids and class them with having mental issues and nor would your father. I think it's best if they are out of that school all of them." 

She grabbed her youngest daughter and gave her a hug, a smile lined her lips as she curled up in her arms. Savannah had missed the family time and not worrying about missions to protect the innocent of this world.

Looking up at wraith who came and took Lousia from her arms, carrying her up to her bedroom. "it's the excitement of having you both here and that she training with Rhage earlier today my Queen and my king. This lil girl has her mother's temper" 

Nadia grins at them "i has papa's fury in me and Rhage got his butt handed to him by us both" Wraith began to laugh at her. 

"she is correct, I've never seen a pair kick him down as much as these two and get up with broken nose" he said as the others joined in on the joke. 

Rhage comes in with a bandage on his nose as Savannah looked over at him with a smirk "got beaten up by my two  youngest now did you" she teased him as she shook her head. Rhage groaned 

"i will get my own back on you my Queen as you have training in the morning. This is why I came to speak you about" he  said as he pinched the top of his nose knowing the pain was killing him. 

Watching the kids get up and leave the room the oldest holding the hands of the youngest ones "go settle and each of you bath then into your pj's." Savannah told them as she grabs her glass to drink the last of the wine. 

As if in agreement, he just nodded and listened, after finishing his food. He watched as Lousia was being taken to bed, he kissed her forehead before she was sent off to bed. He gave a hint of a smirk because that kick was taught to them by him. He knew the two youngest would be considered the weakest so he taught them how to use their limpd in ways that would get then out of any locked situation. Then as they teased each other, he got up and began to clean up, it was a weird habit of his. Cleaning up, he started to put the food away in smaller containers, and stick it in the fridge. As he began to think of his next move would be, he began to rise off all good off the dishes before he deep cleaned them. Then as he finished, he noticed Anna was helping him, he ruffled her hair and continued to clean. 

"Papa what are you thinking about?" Anya asked. 

"Hoe unruly your father will be tomorrow.. If they want to see unruly.. I'll show them I don't like hypocrisy abd bullshit." He said softly as he put a bowl he just washed into the rinse water. 

"Can I come?" Jasmine asked. 

"Well yes you all have to.. Considering you have to them your gym clothes back and their school books. Which by the way is false education.. Humans like to be on top with pristine education but yet their educational system is all false.. It's half lies and truths. They tell you the reason for this is because it was too brutal.. Which given it was but it's also another way of control. It'd way to make a slave.. Pay low and give out high loans so youre in constant debt.. They won't teach you how to be self suffient because.. They would lose their money if they did that." He spoke softly but truthfully 

"So what you're saying is.. They use war to conquer and then they wait a few years to distract them, then put half false and half truths of history while feeding us bullshit, reprogramming us to be Dependant on the government.. Why?" Noel asked. 

"It's part of their system...its how they keep the rich...well rich and so on.. Because in past they only learned psrt of what yo do.. But in reality they are also losing something of value too hence why we exist. Well mafia.. For slave and drug and weaponry trades." Tenkai said. 

"Hmm.. So they call it criminal activity so no one else does it. Then they pretend they are doing righteous deeds?  Why?" Jasmine asked. 

"Why else?  For the public.. To gain the public trust.. While in the shadows their betraying the public's trust. It's away to keep the public happy so they can continue to do as they wish.. Hencr why I saif never rely on the law.. Their just as currupt as the mafia. It's hilarious really." Tenkai stated, as Akashi looked at him wide eyed. 

"How could they do that yo their own?" Akashi asked. 

"Why else?  Their easily influenced.. Honestly.. Dome say it's demonic.. Others say it's Alien activity.. Who knows. All I know is.. I'm taking you kidd out of their learning system before you loose IQ.. And become stupid." Tenkai stated. 

"I don't know why but.. I learn more outside of school than I do in school.. We learn nothing but rubbish." Noel said. 

"Tomorrow I want you run again then once it hits 7 am get in the shower and get ready.. We are gonns burn your school clothes.. And books infront of the school.  Also one of you bring all teachers and such outside. We show them unruly.. I'll also have a lawyer there.. If need be." Tenkai said as girls cheered. 

"No one messes with my family and think they can get away with it.. Humans and their unruly iqs." He spoke softly. 

"Man it's been awhile since I've seen father so unruly and giving out punishments. Hehe." Anya giggled. 

"Tenkai, mind if we come with to protect you all incase of an attack.. You aren't at your best right now.. You just woke up, your power isn't what it was due to your injuries.. We won't stop you.. We just don't want you guys to be harmed again.. We just got you back." A shadow appeared. 

"As you wish.. That's a good idea.. I'll allow it.. Just don't give yourselves to much exposure.. We want to lay low not the opposite." Tenkai said. 

"Yes, your majesty." The shadow bowed 

Tenkai sighed, feeling all eyes on him, he raised a brow over at his wife, he Shook his head and continued to finish clean. 

She leaned over and kisses her girl's heads  as she hugs each of her kids. "i will be coming also my love, I have a few things to do with getting some clothes sent over for myself but only if you want me to stay here with you while you heal." she said as she carried out the plates and watches him with Anna. 

Placing the plates on the side and walked back into the room, looking out of the window. Wrapping her arms around her waist, closing her eyes as she began to relax unlike the Manor where her dreams become nightmares. 

Remembering that most nights waking up in cold sweats and end up training her until she is so exhausted that she drops back into bed, fully dressed. 

It was always the same nightmare in which she sees the face of the man that kills her. So after she heard of the news of the women and children discovered in boats crammed tight until many died of starvation. 

Tears rolled down her cheek as she thought of the babies who laid in her arms the one night each suffered and vowed to bring the death upon those who had done this. 

Savannah started to shake as she felt her body burn up, the power building up once more. After fighting to keep it hidden from the family as right now she ain't strong enough to fight the pain of the huge wings coming from her back. 

This made her hide from her family and her warriors that first time after she first woke from her healing sleep. Suddenly she snapped back from the past and looked around for the drinks cabinet, fuck she needed a long hard drink of whiskey. Also a good night's sleep in her  husband's arms where he would keep her safe. 

Walking back to the table and picked the glasses, taking them out to the kitchen counter. Seeing the pile of dishes done before grabbing a cloth to wipe down the  crumbs into her hand. Leaving the room  clean as they first came to it. 

Tenkai listened to her saddened nonsense, as he was washing dishes, after he finished his latest command. Hearing her voice, he could hear her mind in thr bond, she was hiding things from him but he wouldn't force her to tell him. He also wouldn't let her hide from him. As Anna took over the lady of the dishes, the kids were off to take their baths/showers. 

"Savannah why wouldn't I want you here?" His head tilted, as he turned to face her. 

Savannah wasn't one to be down or wallow in self pity, which means something happened to het while he was healing. Not only that but she was blocking it off from the bond. He quickly but lightly gabbed her arm as she turned to walk away. 

"Oh no you don't.. You can't just walk off after saying something so sad like that and expect me not to react.." He paused taking thr logical route because she would fuss if other wise. 

"Savannah you're my wife.. Your children are here.. If you do too much, you will get too much exposure then.. What?  Your children have to go out.. What happens if they use you're loved ones against you.. Sure we have thr Manor.. But they know where that's at.. While you're taking down the smuggling and human trafficking industry.. What about yoy in the process.. They will take everything you have from you.. You do this everytime.. You get into trouble.. Then we get into this massive arguement.. Then you run off.. Then you get hurt.. Then you let yourself believe I don't want you around because of that said arguement. Then what?" He spoke calmly as possible. 

He knew he was being harsh but he needed to get through her head, feeling like he was watching her spiral down into thst rabbit hole. "I've been down that rabbit hole sweet girl.. I know those thoughts.. You have been through a lot.. I know you worry about everything at once.. But for once in your life let me protect you.. I know I've been asleep for awhile.. But I'm right here Ssvannah.. I'm not going anywhere.. My children are here.. My home is where ever you snd thr children are. I told you a long time ago.. I can give up everything.. Except for you.. Stay sweet girl." he spoke again, this time with a hint of overwhelming sadness. 

They were so much alike and yet so different it was almost like they were twins, but they weren't even blood related. They both thought and worry over their loved ones. So much so that it caused problems down the road for them. He backed her up against the wall locking her in place. The sexual tension and frustration at each other plainly in the air and on his facial features. 

as he locked her in place, his lips hovering right over hers, he looked between her eyes and her soft lips. He was close to kissing her that he could feel thr linking of her lips and the wartmh of her breath. Her cherry blossom body wash, he watched her relations. She always had away of pushing him away, he put felt like she pulled him in, like she was magnetic. He let his tongue lick his lips, in turn licking hers, tasting her sweetness. Knowing that no one was downstairs anymore, he felt like time had stopped. 

"Are you going to push me away again?  Then get mad at me for working to hard to protect you in the shadows.. This is what you do sweet girl. You push me away then in turn I push you away and protect you all in secret. Then you get all angry, and scream and shout. You continuously punch my chest until you run out of energy. Then you cry, let me comfort you for one night then you disappear again.. Which enturns a cycle from both of us.. It's what we do.. Then our children get affected. It's like a roller coaster for them.. All the while you secretly chase me while I do the same to you." His voice becoming seductive. 

As if on cue, his voice becomes a whisper, full of seduction but facts."its what we do right?  You fall inlove with me you let me be with you for a time.. Then you get into trouble.. While your excuse is to protect me. But the truth is you're scared.. Youred that that I may judge you for you become after that said trouble.. So your thoughts become a black hole. You wobder if I'm going to leave you. Then you get into more trouble. While I secretly protect you while doing as you wish me to do and stay away. Then I come to see.. You get mad at me.. Punch me and blame me for leaving you.. But all the while you inquire of my where abouts, and my activity. Then you get wild thoughts in your head and get jealous.. But you don't let your walls down.. So you expect me to open up to you but you won't let me in.. What does it take for you to get it through your head. What does it take for you to let me in.. Then you berate me. And it's like a cycle. A never ending cycle. In the mean time I'm secretly protect you and keeping you put of trouble. I'm in the front lines of war. Doing my own thing, because you won't let me be with you.. Just like tonight. You'll let me comfort you then you run in the morning, pretending nothings happend." He voice but a seductive whisper. 

As he spoke, the tension rising, full on blasting them, his lust abd love for her fueling him forward. He was tired of this cycle but it also excited him, even though she runs from him, he would always catch her. He would also make her beg for more until she came back on her own. Which what he loved about this but he also hated it. He hated seeing her like this, but her body so close to him, it was like every nerve and the nerve endings, were lit up to a flame. Blasting him to a roaring blame. Leaned his head down, letting his nose rub hers. Wanting her so far on the edge, so frustrated, he gave a hint of a smirk. 

​​​​​​Finally claiming her lip, into a fiery passionate kiss, he felt like he was getting burned. As his fingers entangled into her hair, pulling her head back a little. 

"Come on, let me take care of you.. Just give in a little.. You know you want to sweet girl.. Hand it over to me.. Let me in." He whispered. 

He nipped her lower lip, nipping her chin, he could tell she was close to being on the edge. 

​​​​​​Afters hours of this conversation, they were now laying on the floor infront of the fire. He had her in his shirt and covered up, under a blanket that was on thr couch. Keeping it warm, he sat up, and leaned over and grabbed an ashtray and his smokes. He lit up a smoke, and took a long well needed hit, abd let it out. He looked down, at her now sleeping face, as he moved her hair out of the way. This was going to be hard but he would stay with her this time, even if she pushed him away, he would break every single wall she had put up between them. He was surprised she wasn't trying to do the same. 

She opened her mind and slowly let her guard down. He was right she does bring up her guard when he is around. The arguments over her insecurities always show up and she pulled away from him. 

Not knowing why she did this, as she loved her husband so much. "I'm just scared of what's going on with me right now since I woke and even before that when I slept I felt a strange feeling. My body humming with a strange power, it was this that woke me from my healing months ago. I woke to these great big wings  on my back. "

 She took a deep sigh of relief as she told him the reason she hide this secret.  Biting her lip as she watched him walk closer to, her heart beating faster in her chest. 

" you know what I am like my love, I tend to over think things and hide my thoughts even from myself. When I found out that you were awake  I got nervous after so long being apart" 

​​​​​Savannah loved this about him knowing that if she looses her mind over silly things and this had been like this for centuries. They both couldn't never be parted from each other, he would always find her  and pull her back with his voice that sounded like chocolate. So sweet and addictive, seductive that could send her mind into over drive with need and lust. 

Feeling like the prey that he loved to chase, cornering against the wall. She lowered her eyes as the submissive she was around him. All she wanted was him to wrap her up in his arms and keep her safe from harm. 

Their love for their kids was deep as they both wanted to protect them from the evilness of this world they lived in. She was ready to give in her fight and be the woman he wanted. 

Savannah felt herself back against the wall,  watching him lean forward as she felt the pull from his body. Wrapping her arms around his neck and leans into his chest,  kissing him softly. All the tension that had been built up slowly disappeared, she didn't want to argue with him. 

Her need was strong as well as the chemistry between them, it was this that made them they way they were together. "I'm not running nor going too I want you beside me when we take down this fucker.  I want a quiet life my love, with my husband and my children.."  she said as she looked up into his eyes. 

​​​​​Savannah kissed him with a fiery passion as her body went up in flames. He knew how to make her burn with a need no other could as she felt his fingers in her hair and tilted her head back. 

​​​​​​" Claim me my love, care for me as I trust myself over to you. I need you so much my love, I missed you so much"  feeling her self lose her mind to his voice. Hissing the his teeth pulling on her bottom lip as she tilted her head even more. The need of his lips upon her throat, the bite that would drive her insane. ​​​​​​

It was hours later, that exhaustion over took her as she laid in his arms. Finally being able to sleep with any interruptions, he always kept the nightmares at bay. Knowing she would finally have to come clean of the nightmare and talk to him about that night of her getting hurt the way she did by the  bastard who injured her so badly, but right now all she wanted to do was lie in his arms and think of nothing else.
