Blake: I always have time for you.
Moon, help me.He was so sweet! The phone didn’t ring for long before he answered.
“Hello Kade. I’m glad you called. I wanted to, but I also didn’t want to put pressure on you.”
Oh fuck!He was perfect, and his voice over the phone made me shiver with pleasure. I was half hard from remembering my name on his lips moaned into my ear as he took me repeatedly.
I gathered my wits and adjusted my swelling cock in my sweats. “Thank you for waiting. It’s a lot to adjust to.”
“I understand.”
“There was something I wanted to talk to you about. Something for me to clear up.”
“What is it?” Blake immediately sounded alert and wary.
“Why I hid my scent,” I said simply.
“Oh, I had theories, but I’d like it if you told me.”
“Okay, long story short. I’m in hiding from my father. He’s got a history of abuse and tried to trap me into a mating, along with other things. I’d heard he was in the area and I knew he’d be in pack territory if those rumors were true. My job had me do an alternative route to my usual, so I changed my scent to hide that I am really an omega, since my dad wouldn’t be expecting a beta.”
“Why wouldn’t he recognise you if you were close enough to scent?”
“Um... well...” Fuck, this was hard to say, especially to a man that thought he was my mate. There was no way that he’d react well to this.
“Kade?”
“Uh, the last time he saw me, my face was quite different.” I hoped that would be enough, but his next question ended that hope.
“Why is that?”
“Uh, he beat me so bad a fae and a witch had to rebuild it with magic.” Better to rip off the band-aid. I wasn’t about to lie to my mate.
There was silence on the end of the line and then a cracking sound. “Blake?” I heard some heavy breathing.
“He better hope I never see him again.”
“Again?”
“I think I met him. Is your name really Ryder Hayes?”
My heart fell into my stomach at the sound of my old name on Blake’s lips. It sounded... wrong. Like it was never supposed to be there. If I believed in The Luna’s plan for all shifters, then I had to accept that this was all preordained. There was a reason that I’d gone through so much pain, had lost Papa, even temporarily. Yet, there was a part of me that wanted to rage, “why me?” Why did my family have to be hurt so badly?
“Kade?”
“Yes. Ryder is dead now, though. Please...please...don’t...”
“I’ll never use that name for you again. I’m sorry, Kade. Your father was here, but seems to have given my enforcers the slip.”
Moon help me.Ice slid down my back as fear took hold, and my phone slipped in my sweaty palm. It was all well and good putting on bravado on the phone to Dakota, but this was Blake, my mate and pack leader. I almost felt compelled to pour out all my fear and doubt to him. “Kade? Are you okay?”
“I’m safe. I’ll be fine.” My words were hollow, and I wasn’t sure who I was trying to soothe, me or Blake. I don’t know what he heard in my voice.
“Can I come over?”
I didn’t even think. “Please.”
“Text me your address and I’ll be there as soon as I can.” He ended the call, saying nothing else. Then I sent him my address quickly before I could second guess myself. He could have got it from his records, but it warmed me he’d asked for it instead.
