"Hey, you're not a monster," Alyssa told him sternly as she leaned up to gaze down at him. Her eyes were even narrowed.
"I know your family and your past is confusing, but I know who you are. You're strong, sweet, and caring. You look out for those you care about. You know how to get things done. You're mine. My beautiful monster."
Elias gazed up at her, letting her words sink in. They were exactly what he needed to hear.
"Damn, I love you," he sighed, feeling some tension fade away. He was still upset, but as long as he had Alyssa by his side, things wouldn't be as bad as they could be.
"I love you," Alyssa said. "Don't let all of this make you lose sight of who you are."
Elias knew that was the best advice that he could get. He needed to keep it in mind, especially as things started to develop more and more.
Secrets were being revealed, and his bloodline ran deeper than he ever could've imagined.
