Chapter 17

Seeing Petyr Antorelli’s blood had relieved Gabriella’s pain momentarily, but true relief had set in the moment Matthew walked through the door. It was wild how she could be suffering so heavily and not even be truly aware of where her pain levels were at until it subsided. The sight of him had changed everything. A whirl of emotions and thoughts had flooded through her, the pain having sharply increased at random and then turned into an odd sort of bubbling...

Numbness. She was numb the moment he said her name, and she responded with his—asked, really, as he was almost too good to be true. The idea that he might be a vision had crossed through her mind, but Petyr’s whining told her this was far from a dream and the fact he wasn’t kissing her already...

The kissing. Kissing. She wanted to kiss him and touch him and be with him and all other thoughts...

She spoke, moved, and acted, but everything was numb until he was there, picking her up, holding her, and still not kissing her. And then she was throwing a fit or a tantrum, and he was not moving, slow to act, dragging it all out...

Maybe the numbness was affecting him as well. It made sense, after all, that he would be suffering much the same as her. So, she cut him some slack until finally, finally...

It was all a blur after he kissed her until they arrived at a building she didn’t recognize.

All a blur, all numbness, all fleeting, fading, overwhelming and then—

Everything came into focus as Matthew stepped in front of her, and she remembered multiple clicking locks sealing them in behind her. They were alone, according to him, in a place her uncle had offered as a safe house until they were done. Done with what, she didn’t need to ask or clarify.

Done having sex. Done with his rut. Done with her heat. Done with fixing all the things inside of her that were shattered, thanks to her biological changes.

Hopefully, at some point, a shower and a nap would be involved but... she had no idea where to even start.

“Hi,” Gabriella whispered as she looked at Matthew.

He was so big and strong and muscly, with the fabric of his shirt pulled tight around his arms and chest and his backside as well. She wanted to peel him out of it, but that sounded far too exhausting, and she needed something...

Not sleep—although, yes, the idea of a nap later sounded amazing—but something else. Something... fitted into place. Something secured.

That, she had no idea what it was. But it was important, and until then, she was just...

Empty.

“How are you feeling?” Matthew asked, not touching her but hands hovering. “Do you need something to drink? Something to eat? Do you want to talk or—”

“No,” she answered, wavering. “No. I need... I don’t know.”

“That’s okay. Whoa—” He stepped closer, his hands going to her shoulders to steady her, and she nearly cried at the pain of being touched.
