Chapter 46 Chapter 46 He was still gazing up at her when she began again. "Honestly, the worst thing was the aggression from the pigs. They didn't like me in their space, and they would dirty up my hay almost as soon as I refilled it. It was nothing like it is here." Home, Had she finally found a home? She felt like she had, She prayed every night, clenching her charm and thanking her Goddess. She stopped talking long enough to finish one side of his face. He hadn't s 't said anything else, just stared at her until he closed his eyes again. "I'm sorry I asked. You told me about some of your life there. I guess I just hoped I had heard you wrong." She sighed heavily. "I feel had for Visca and his family. My heart breaks for his daughter. They asked for none of what happened to them, and they didn't deserve it. It was Rebecca who caused their downfall. I tried to tell them that first night, but they wouldn't believe me. Said I was just toying with them They've lost everything, Dax. All of his horses died from starvation because they had to save their money for food for the family and upkeep on the house. When I left, they were down to two pigs out of the two dozen they had had She grew quiet as she focused on his mustache, not wanting to cut his nose or lip. When she was done with that, she moved on to the other side of his face and continued quietly. "They emasculated a loyal member of the noble court. A loyal Beta, and then they exiled you, all at the word of one woman." They were both silent after that. When she finished, she pulled a small mirror she'd brought from the other chamber and gave it to him. When he finally opened his eyes, they were back to being blue-on-blue. He turned his head from side to side as he examined her work. "You did well. Where did you learn to use a blade like that?" She smiled. This was fomething she remembered fondly. "My mother taught me with pumpkins and sunflower oil. Papa didn't come around very often, and we missed him so much. When he would come back, even though I wasn't even ten yet, he'd let me trim his beard." "What was your father like?" He asked almost immediately. "Oh." She smiled and laughed a little. "Crazy. And funny. He'd have Mama rolling on the bed, howling with laughter. And then he'd go off to the stream and bring back the biggest fish I'd ever seen. He was strong too. He could lift Mama, me, and anything we could carry all at the same time." Her smile faded. "He wasn't strong enough, though. When the Chevalier showed up, he didn't even fight. He just told Mama and me to stay silent, and they tied us up and took Papa off with them." "I'm sorry, Bea. What happened to your father?" He paused, like he wanted to say more about that night, but instead he said, "It wasn't right. When I'm Alpha, there will be many laws that change." "He was the reason I was able to battle the flames that night, you know. I just kept thinking that Papa would have dove through them to get our Alpha out, and how could I look at myself if I didn't do the same?" She had felt like she'd heard her father that night, whispering encouragement into her ears. "Before the fire" He looked up at her then. Piercing her with the strongest gaze she'd ever seen. As if what he was about to say was more important than air. "Did you have a mole above your lip?" So startled by his question, the blade slipped from her fingers and landed with a sharp clang against the edge of the bucket and ricocheted out to nick her calf. Lax was out of the chair before the blade landed on the carpet, and her vision blurred as her world turned sideways. He had lifted her into his arms, and he was quickly striding out of her bedroom.
