Rafe watched Julie put on one his shirts and sit on the bed cross-legged.
“You don’t plan on eating?” she asked, picking up a croissant from the tray the flight attendant had brought their way. “You know you love these.”
He nodded. “I’ll eat something later.”
The truth was that her words had done things to his insides nothing ever had. Fear and panic combined inside him. He couldn’t lose her again. He wouldn’t. But that meant he had to finally figure out how to tell her about his past. He’d known that buying her at the auction would mean she was going to want to know more about why he was the way he was. He hated to tell her those things, but he’d do it if it meant not losing her.
“I can see something’s on your mind.” She wiped her hands on a napkin and picked up the coffee cup from the tray. “Talk.”
Julie had been like that—straight forward and to the point since the first day. She’d told him she’d be his on a whim, offering herself as long as he made her time in his bed worthwhile. Days turned to months, and the lust between them was more than he could handle. The bear inside him griped, snarling that she was his mate. Rafe ignored him. For months, he refused to acknowledge how special she’d become to him, how much he loved being with her.
“I once thought I met my mate,” he said. The words dragged from his throat with the weight of a bulldozer.
She raised her brows and leaned back on the pillows. “You thought?”
He sensed the curiosity and concern in her. The bear wanted closer to her, but he pulled back. This wasn’t the time for emotional crap. He needed to let her see why he was the way he was.
“I was young, thought she meant it when she said she loved me.”
She frowned, forming her lips into an O. “I thought you shifters could detect lies?”
He laughed. “We can, but if the person believes they’re telling the truth then it’s the truth.”
She blinked. “Wait a minute. This is like a lie detector. If you believe something then it happened?”
He nodded. “She swore up and down that I was the only man she loved. Wanted to get married and have babies. Hell, she said she wanted to be at home and take care of children. That it was her purpose in life.”
She raised her brows and snorted. “It wasn’t?”
“Not only that, apparently she was running the same story to a few other shifters.”
She gasped. “No way! How did you figure it out?”
He curled his hands into fists. “It was hard at first, because I didn’t see her for weeks at a time due to work. Then, I didn’t see her because of her own schedule. When I finally did see her, I scented something different in her.”
Julie’s eyes turned saucer wide. “Was she pregnant?”
He shook his head. The memory hit him in the gut like a ton of bricks.
