He felt like a mystery to me, one that I wanted to figure out. I had to add, Bria felt oddly interested in him which left me curious as to what it would be like when we went for a run soon as a pack.
Fuck, I was itching to run too.
I felt rather shitty for not prioritizing that either. Obviously, I was still new to this pack, wolf shifter routine, and it was as if I intentionally tried to avoid any chance to go for a run, but our busy, non-stop hustle was beginning to affect so many other priorities.
All of this was getting to be too much.
“Stop worrying about me,”Bria’s husky voice calmly stated in my mind.“There’ll come a time where we’ll be able to run whenever we feel like with our pack. For now, we have to ensure our foundations are secure so no one can take advantage of us any longer.”
Doesn’t make it right.
“True, but we can simply blame our enemy for that, don’t you agree?”
Our enemy.
The reminder made me want to go back to sleep so I could be in denial for a little longer. I wanted to jump back in time and spend the last few weeks a bit slower.
I’d gained so many hidden victories which should have left me feeling like a champion.
Yet, here I was…feeling like a loser.
The buzz of my phone forced me to open my heavy eyelids. I glanced over to the device, my gaze drifting further to the bouquet of pink and purple roses in a gold vase. Right next to it was a box wrapped in gold wrapping paper with a purple ribbon tied around it.
There was no need to open it. I knew what it was.
A new phone.
With a sigh, I forced my heavy arm to reach out and pick up my phone. Tilting it forward, I noticed the all too familiar name on the screen. The picture of me smiling like a fool with my arms wrapped around Aurelia’s neck made it impossible for me to ignore.
My thumb pressed and slid across the screen, but all I could do was put my phone on speaker. I was trying to figure out what to say, but there was so much.
Why is this happening?
How do we fix this?
Were the pills created to hold me back?
Is this a setup to make us enemies?
Can we still be friends?
Are we still friends?
If…the Coven becomes our prime enemy…which side are you on?
Can I move forward…without you in my life anymore?
Each question was harderto answer, and maybe that was why I struggled to get a single word out. My prolonged silence would make Aurelia assume I wasn’t in the right place to talk, but she also knew on those occasions I carried an earpiece so she’d be able to say what needed to be said.
Would this be our last conversation?
“Hey,” she began, and the mere hesitation in her voice made my heart sink. Only a few days of distance and friendship was awkward as fuck. “I’m assuming you can’t talk. Don’t blame you. You have a lot on your plate. Um…”
She took a long pause.
“I’ve been trying to get into your apartment to give you the new meds, but the code and lock were switched. I figured you changed the security measures, or maybe it was Dimitris since he’s really protective of you, but I tried again today and was told the resident had moved.”
I was preparing to feel the heartbreak in her voice, and Goddess knew I wasn’t ready for it.
