Evence's eyebrow quirked a bit as Merek gave his input. "Wouldn't that be putting my Omegas in danger? Who will watch the pups? You Mr King with all your royal duties?" she asked a little on the sarcastic side as she slid down off of the counter. Grabbing up his plate, Evence took it over to the sink and set it inside. A sudden tense quiet fell over Evence and she gave a very heavy sigh. "Merek, I need to tell you something you deserve to know. I was pregnant when I left the castle. With our pups, but they never made it..." she said quietly, turning on the hot water to wash his dish.<br/><br/>Evence supposed that was the reason she was so angry at him. He had rejected her and caused her to run, but months later when she found out she was carrying pups, she knew she wouldn't be able to return to a mate who rejected her. He probably wouldn't have even wanted the pups. "I had the pups eight months after I left the castle. But I wasn't in a very good place when I had them. The pack that took me in... They didn't want the pups because they weren't of their blood line. We always got the scraps... I did my best to provide for them... But one morning the Alpha of that pack came in and attacked me while I was at my weakest... He nearly killed me and the pack took my pups away. They died in the cold..." she explained softly, gripping the sink hard. She thought Merek should know while they were on the subject of puppies.<br/><br/>Evence sighed heavily and dried her hands on her pants, staring out the window. "Merek I'm sorry, I don't know if you would have wanted them or not, but I'm sorry I couldn't protect them," she apologized softly, biting her lip so she wouldn't cry. Still, years later, she cried every time she thought of her pups and the fact she wasn't strong enough to protect them.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Rose shot up, straddling Zane's waist as she looked around quickly. When she was assured no one but her and Zane were in her house, she slowly laid back down into his chest. Watching him sleep for a moment, she leaned up and kissed his cheek.
