Chapter 6

Belonging

I woke up feeling warm all over. I felt different, like more than myself if that makes any sense. There was a connection to something greater than me and after I thought about it, I realized it was a sense of belonging. I had never felt like I belonged to my family. First because of my father and his relatives and later because I wasn’t the ‘forgive and forget’ type. I didn’t feel bad about it because it wasn’t like they had ever asked for forgiveness or attempted to make amends. They had just continued to treat me like a stranger who came around them from time to time.

My siblings and of course my mom were different. Adeline and Brantley weren’t the warm fuzzy types. They loved me as much as they loved anyone, but they were driven to succeed in their chosen careers. Adeline was military and we rarely saw her while Brantley was working his way up in the school system. It was his dream to someday run a college. They would both succeed barring a catastrophe.

T.J. was different and we were close. Without her, I would have been an emotional wreck and never been able to connect with Ari like I had because I wouldn’t have known how to show love or affection.

Now that I had thought of Ari, I was wondering where he was. His side of the bed was cold. He had been gone for some time. I was naked and just a tad sore. He was a sexual athlete and I would have to adjust or being sore all the time. I moved just a little bit, it wasn’t a bad soreness. It was the kind that reminded me of the marvelous time we had without limiting the possibility of having another equally wonderful time soon. The only thing missing was my mate. My mate. This was the first time I had thought of him that way. Not only had he melted my resisted, but he had bonded us fully and I was changing, I could feel it.

I could feel a fever taking hold every once in a while and the itching Ariel had mentioned moved around on my skin. It would have confused me had I not known what caused it. It made me glad I wasn’t the first one to go through this. There was someone I could talk to if things got bad. I couldn’t imagine how confused and different Ariel had felt when it had happened to her. She’d been lucky to have Blake. Which reminded me, where the hell was Ari?

I got up carefully, stretching and moving to make sure everything was where it should be and working correctly. It was, so I went to the shower to clean up and let the hot water relax my tense sore muscles. It was amazing sometimes what a nice, hot shower could do for a girl. Once I felt better, I got out and dried off. I knew I was
