The Forgotten; The
Lost Children Series
Excerpt
Kell
was a tender soul. He was all rough and tumble male who liked to beat up on his
big brother, yet he possessed a sweetness that didn’t come naturally for most
boys. When he was a small baby and he lay on his Mama’s chest, he would stroke
her face while looking into her eyes with pure adoration. He easily melted her
heart with his love and a smile that could turn pure night into day in an
instant.
Jakob,
the eldest and darkest of the two brothers, held Mama’s affections close. Not
as forward with his bursts of adoration, his approach was far subtler than his
brother’s as he would stand close to her whenever the chance would arise.
Always carrying the weight of responsibility that the eldest son of the
Governor held, he expressed his love for her more like a suitor, bringing her
gifts and doing the smallest deed to please her. He was often rewarded with
kind words and small affections that Mama knew wouldn’t embarrass him or
compromise his serious nature in front of his peers.
She
loved her two boys for their similarities, but mostly for their differences,
amazed they both came from her. She felt a deep connection with both from the
moment she knew they were growing within her womb, and every day after they
were born, she looked for even more reasons to adore them. She found she loved
Kell for his sweetness, and Jakob for his passionate strength. They were as
unique as they were different, and she encouraged their love for each other by
pushing them closer together, even as young boys.
Something
inside of her whispered repeatedly and steadily that they would need each other
one day.
