    He jumped out of bed and walked down the hallway to the front door as his father reached it.
    “Go back to your room.”
    “No, I want to hear what he has to say.”
    “Why?” His father growled.
    Heaven wasn’t going to get into a debate right now. His father huffed then opened the front door. “What in the hell are you doing here? I should kill you myself.”
    “Maverick, as my named executioner, has granted me two weeks with my mate. If he’ll allow it,” Murdock stated firmly, not backing down from Heaven’s father.
    Heaven’s heart beat faster. Was Murdock here to truly see him or save his ass?
    Of course he wanted to save himself from death, but did he want Heaven? No matter how much Heaven wanted to turn his back, he couldn’t. The pull was strong, making him step past his father and out onto the porch.
    “Heaven, get back in here.” His father tried to grab his arm, but Heaven batted him away.
    “Father, you know as well as I do that the law states that he is granted whatever his executioner has allowed him.” Heaven had never gone against his father before, he respected and loved him, but this was his mate.
    “Don’t hurt my son, or I’ll forget about my demand and kill you myself.” Windstorm slammed the door.
    “Hi,” Murdock said in that sexy, soft voice.

    Heaven stared at his shoes, unable to look up.
    “Is there somewhere we can talk, or would you prefer to stay on the porch? I’ll do whatever you wish.” Heaven raised his head, glaring at Murdock. “Why? So you won’t die?”
    Murdock shook his head, his face remained composed. “No, if I must die, then so be it. I just want a chance to get to know you. To apologize.”
    “Apologize?” Heaven couldn’t help it. His lip curled up in a sneer.
    It was so out of character for him. “How do you apologize for something like that?”
    Murdock took a deep and steady breath then looked Heaven in his eyes. “I didn’t know you were there. Had I known, that never would have happened.”
    “And that excuses it?” The image flashed once again in Heaven’s mind.
    “No, there is no excuse. Only a reason.” Heaven wanted to stomp his foot, pissed that he couldn’t hold back the tears. “I can’t get it out of my head.” he cried.
    Murdock took a step closer, hesitated, and then stepped back again. “I wish I could take it away. The pain in your eyes is burned into my memory. Something I’ll have to live with for however long that may be.”
    “Did…did you love him?” Heaven asked hesitantly.
    “God, no. My love is only for you.”
    Heaven smiled through his tears. “You sound like you should write love songs or some shit.”
    Murdock grinned. “It’s true though.” Heaven shoved his hands in his back pockets. Maybe he should forgive him. It’s not like the wolf knew he was there, and Lord knows karma was just laughing at him. Heaven didn’t even know his mate was in the same club. It would take a long time to get that image from his brain though.

    “Can we take that walk? Your dad is glaring at me through the window.”
    Heaven turned, giving his father a frown. His father shrugged his shoulders before letting the curtain go.
    “Okay.”
    Murdock reached up and Heaven grabbed his hand, allowing Murdock to lead him down the front steps as they walked the pack land.

    Murdock’s heart raced as Heaven held his hand. His mate pointed out different interests around the land, chatting about his Alpha and anything else that came to mind.
    Heaven had him mesmerized.
    He was honest when he said that if the choice was for him to die, so be it. The only thing on his mind at present was getting to know this beautiful creature.
    “So all the soldiers live under one roof with the Alpha?” Murdock asked as he stopped his mate from tripping.
    Heaven nodded. “Yes. We Grey wolves
