I won't.
"I need to get to the bank first. I've been saving most of my life for this, the bastard is not taking it away from me." I push back from the table, eying the food with regret, but my stomach is churning too much to handle it at the moment anyway.
Trix nods. ”Then let's go. You can transfer the funds into my account if you want. I'll keep them safe for you."
"Okay, thanks."
I need to let the pack know as soon as possible what's going on. Because if this person has gotten this deep into my life, then they know about the pack. And it could fuck with what they have too.
Shit.
Chapter Forty-Two

SHE'S GONE.
When we wake up in Oliver’s nest, Aurora has slipped out from between us and is nowhere in the fucking house. Only a short message on the counter.
"Her stuff is still in her room. She's clearly not planning to stay gone. Sometimes after an intense heat, you just need some space. Especially after being trapped in one house for days straight. She'll be back,” Oliver tries to reassure me.
I know he's right, but it still feels like we lost something.
Rory may return, but it'll be our friend who returns, not the sexy and cuddly creature we've gotten to know the past few days when all her inhibitions were stripped away.
I scowl over at the alphas, who are surprisingly chill about the entire thing. "Why aren't the two of you more upset? You should be pacing and growly instead of just leaning there sipping coffee."
Grey shoots me a look. “I think you're pacing and growling enough for all of us, beta."
My designation is said with affection instead of derision, but it does bring me up short. I still flick him off as I cut off the growl in my throat.
"I know you want her to stay with us,” Callan says. “We all do. But you better understand how difficult a decision that is."
He's right. Of all of us, I should be the most understanding. I've been afraid of bonding for years. This pack has proven itself to me over and over again, but I've let the shame and insecurity my designation has caused keep me from accepting what I truly want.
