Chapter 14

SAVANNAH

Work passes pleasantly, though I’m exhausted by the time the night shift ends and I can pack up and head home. I stifle my yawns and give Ryder a thankful look. She and Hugh are taking over my ‘babysitting shifts’ with the Primordials assigned to me, and Eoghan and Galen are heading over to their apartment for a weird sleepover. I don’t envy Ryder. Hugh’s a handful, being Primordial himself, but with Eoghan, Galen, and their three charges? That’s gonna be one hell of an evening.

I’m pooped as I pull into the driveway of my new house and wonder if I should text Connor to let him know it’s late and we can talk in the morning. Of course, the moment the thought crosses my mind, I see his truck in the driveway, and the lights are on upstairs.

I grit my teeth. He just helps himself into the house, does he?

If he wants a fight, he’s going to get one. That’s for damn sure.

As soon as I get inside, the faint wolfy scent of Connor touches my nose. I hear hammering going on upstairs, and my eyes narrow. When I set my purse down on the dining room table, though, I notice there’s new stuff in the kitchen. Stacks of canned oysters line up on the counter. Clearly those are for me. I catch the scent of a discarded grocery bag as I pass by the garbage, and peer into the fridge. It’s full of fresh, raw meat, a few containers of liver, and a jug of chocolate milk. My mouth waters at the sight of the chocolate milk. I love that stuff.

I pull it out and pour myself a glass without bothering to think if pregnant ladies should drink that sort of thing or not. I had enough of that with Craig this afternoon. If I want some damn chocolate milk, I’m going to have some.

I have two glasses of the delicious stuff before the hammering starts to get on my last nerve. Every whack of the hammer reminds me that he’s in my house, messing with my things. I put the glass down, wipe my lips, and then head upstairs to confront him.

The hammering’s coming from down the hall, so I skip the master bedroom and head further down. He’s in the room I’ve designated for the babies, and the remains of ripped-open cardboard boxes are everywhere. A pale yellow crib is set up on one side of the room, and he’s busy hammering together the pieces of a pale green crib. Two cribs. At first, my heart squeezes with pleasure, but then I’m reminded about today and how followed me around.

Is this what my life is turning into? Everywhere I go, Connor’s going to be there because he thinks he has some sort of claim on me? First the house, then the date, and now the babies?

“What are you doing?” I cross my arms over my breasts, my belly jutting out.

He looks over at me and wipes the sweat off his forehead.
