The second he asked the question, she ignited, became a raging fire. A woman worthy of his homeland, he'd always known it about her. It made him ignore most of her tirade, a slight smirk hiding in the corner of his mouth.
But it fell away completely when she said their son's name. Ezra. A name he'd only said two times in his entire life. A boy he'd seen only once in his entire life. Ezra. Likely a black and handsome devil. But not trained in battle as his sire would've had it, as he would've done himself as his boy grew up. It makes his eyes harder, light brown and bitter.
You vanished, Josie. I couldn't find you anywhere. I brought you to that forest and then you were gone. And his boy with her. What the hell had happened to them? He'd wondered at just how much she despised him for getting her pregnant. That had not been their intentions. A wild night of passion had been their only intention, really. He found her worthy and he took her.
His whole life had been a lie, a bastard child taken into the royal family in secret. He'd never had a true family of his own blood. Not until Josie and their boy. And then they were gone from him. Maybe he didn't deserve a real family. Too much death at his hands, in his past. Too much destruction, espionage, sudden raids. Not to mention he wasn't the prince they'd all thought he was.
He was just an orphan where his brother prince should've stood. The true prince.
I can't stay, he told her shortly, and waited for her explanation that likely wouldn't make him feel any better about missing out on his son's life. A stranger to him.
