better together

Being back in his arms, having the comfort of her husband back, it was everything she had craved through the cursed night. She held him tight and he kept her close in return, loath eto disturb her as she rejuvenated her heart. She had worried so deeply for him, for their children, and for their pack. Venom felt like she could breathe again now that she had him watching over her.

He spoke softly, not of his relief in being returned to her, not of the love that had to be put on hold as he kept himself from his family for their own safety. He needed to talk to her, but was well aware she needed time just to bask in the relief he brought along with the sun’s curing rays.

”I have missed you.” She finished his sentence instead, for once unable to read his mind as he spoke. She missed him, she’d suffered, the Empress had barely held the pack together on her own. Mostly she was relieved. Venom needed the man she loved, she didn’t realize that only a part of him had come back to her.
