How many days had it been now?
Not days. I froze, the brush pressed against my molars. It was weeks.
Weeks without him. Weeks without knowing if he’s even alive. I closed my eyes, rocking on my feet. My belly swished, then settled. Even nausea took a backseat to my fucking heart ripping in two.
We were still searching. Still hunting, day after day.
But the nights…the nights were the cruelest of all.
My body clenched. My breath caught.
Even my pulse sped, remembering how many times we’d fucked.
It wasn’t love, what we were doing. No matter how many times I wanted to tell myself it was.
How could it be when our hearts were gone?
No heart. No love. There wasn’t even air when Colt was gone.
I closed my eyes, gripped the sink, and bowed my head. Please, God, give him back to me.
Tears welled and slipped free. I’d give anything, do anything. I’d suffer any pain, just to hold him once more. To feel those hands on my skin and his lips on mine. Throw me back in that dark dungeon at The Order. Throw me to the guards for all I cared. It wouldn’t matter. I’d go gladly.
But this…
This not knowing.
This emptiness was killing me.
No. It was killing us.
I lifted my head, pulled the toothbrush free, and rinsed. Maybe that’s all it was? Just stress. Just a broken fucking heart. I stepped to the towel bar, grabbed the plush blood-red fabric, and wiped my mouth, hitting my breast as I straightened. An ache bloomed, making me wince.
Oww.
I looked down, dropped the towel back on the bar, and gently cupped the swell of my breast. Fuck, that hurt. I yanked up the top of my pajamas and looked down, searching for a bruise. But there was none. I cupped my other breast and caught my breath. That was just as sore. Almost like I was getting my—
Period.
I froze. My pulse booming. My damn period. I tried to count the weeks. It had been weeks. Lots of weeks. Panic filled me as I tried to remember how many exactly it’d been since I’d had my last one. The one where Colt had thought London had hurt me.
It was over a month…
It was over two weeks now that he’d been gone.
Six weeks since my last period. Maybe even more.
Gonna put a baby in you, pet. London’s growl pushed into my head. By the time I’m done with you, they’ll know…they’ll all fucking know. Who. You. Belong. To.
They’d been just words to me. Just desire. Just his consuming way of possessing me. But now. Now, they felt real. I clenched gently, finding that deep tender ache. Still, I couldn’t say anything. Not now. They’d treat me differently. London would. Carven would, for sure. I needed to be the same for them. The same hunter, the same Wildcat.
Even if I said nothing, I had to be sure.
But how? It wasn’t as though I could ask either of them to run to the drugstore, and there was no way London was letting me near any of his cars again. So, what? I walk there. It can’t be over ten miles to any kind of store and I sure as hell can’t call an Uber.
I needed someone I could trust. Someone who would get me what I needed. I needed…
Guild. Guild would get it for me.
