Golden Glade Coming Home Once Again

At his wife's swift movement, he winced -- damn him for causing her so much pain -- and his eyes fell to the earth in shame. Her words made him feel much better, and he simply held her tighter. 

                                     "I promise, angel. I'll never do anything like that again."

She didn't comment on his rank, and some part of the King had hoped she would, but he would stick to his word and work his way back up to King. 
 
                                                                    "C'mon. Lets go cuddle."

Nudging her gently, Alder would lead her back down into the tunnels to simply curl up with her. Nap maybe, who knows, he was just glad to come home and be with the woman he loved.
