Chapter Ten

Cyan lay in bed, listening to Teal move around their home. He stared at the ceiling not paying attention to Teal’s muttering. He didn’t care. He didn’t care about anything. He just wanted to stay in bed and forget about the world outside his bedroom door.

A month had passed since the day he’d left Alex’s apartment. The longest month of his life. He was living a half-life, staring at his phone, waiting for Alex to reach out and call him, but there had been nothing. No call, no message. Nothing at all.

He knew he had to get up. He had work piling up on his desk, designs he needed to complete. But he lacked the enthusiasm he usually felt. Teal had given up on him days ago when they’d argued over his behavior.

They’d had a nasty argument and hadn’t spoken since. They’d argued before; they were brothers, after all, but never anything like this. Cyan knew it was his fault, but he didn’t care. Nothing mattered to him anymore. Not now that he’d lost his mate.

His brothers had attempted an intervention, but it hadn’t worked. Now, they left him alone. All except his mom. She came over and sat with him, not saying anything. When he lay on the sofa with her, with his head in her lap, she stroked his hair but still remained silent, offering the comfort he so desperately needed.

It was like she knew he needed to have her there but needed to work his way through his grief for what he’d lost. Nothing anyone said would ease the ache in his chest, the painful loss that he carried everywhere with him.

Anna had seen Alex the day before when he’d begged her to go over and talk to him. She still saw Alex regularly but it was uncomfortable. She hadn’t wanted to, again because she knew how it made Alex feel, but he’d insisted. As long as he knew Alex was safe and well, he could struggle through his day, and at night, alone in his bed, he cried for the life he would never have.

Teal knocked on his bedroom door. “Mom will be here in five. Get in the shower and open the windows. You fucking stink; it’s so bad I can smell you out here.”

Cyan wanted to ignore him, but he knew Anna would drag him out of bed physically. He grunted and threw back the covers. His smell wafted up to him, and he grimaced as he caught scent of it. Yeah, he reeked.

By the time he stepped out of his bedroom, Anna was waiting for him. Teal shook his head and grabbed his keys and wallet.

“You’re a fool to keep torturing yourself like this.”

“Teal,” Anna snapped. “Shut up and go.”

“Mom! You know I’m right.”

“What did I just say?” She side eyed him, and Teal took a hasty step back.

“Love you, Mom.”

Cyan would have laughed at the speed Teal left if he wasn’t completely focused on his mom who was now watching him.

“Let’s sit down.
