Chapter Eleven

Elston paused outside the door to Jaren’s rooms. He’d never been invited here before, though he suspected that was because Jaren had been afraid of showing too much of his heart.

Elston was glad that had changed. His own feelings for Jaren had grown so much that he barely knew what to do with them. Now, he thought this was the undefinable thing he’d been waiting for, the thing that had made him so resistant to settling down

People laughed at the idea that everyone had a true mate out there, somewhere. Elston had, too, but now he wasn’t so sure. Jaren was everything he’d dreamed of in a mate, and that seemed too good to be a coincidence.

Taking a deep breath, he reached out and knocked softly on the dark wood of the door that cut Jaren’s space off from the rest of the living quarters. It felt as though he was about to cross a line, both physical and metaphorical. He’d never stepped over this threshold before—he’d only ever passed the door, and once met Jaren on his way out of it—and now he’d been invited in.

“Come in,” Jaren called from inside the room. Elston pushed on the heavy door and found it swung open easily, as close to silent as something that size could be. He stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

Jaren’s quarters were not unlike his own. Larger, but then, they were for permanent living, and they did look lived in. His scent permeated the room so thoroughly that Elston would have known who lived here by that alone.

The man himself was seated by the window, looking out over the snow-covered grounds beyond. They weren’t well kept, which Elston always thought was a pity, but not his place to say anything about.

“I’m sorry for bringing you here like this, but this conversation requires the utmost secrecy.” Jaren indicated the chair opposite him, which also faced the window. “And I apologize for the way I have to approach this.”

Panic set in straight away in the pit of Elston’s stomach. Had he done something wrong? Was there a disaster looming ahead? Jaren was a serious, quiet man most of the time, but the quiet seriousness of his current manner outstripped anything Elston had seen of him before.

He sat on the edge of the other chair, and waited.

“You should know that my feelings for you are very deeply felt, and that will not change. Whatever the future may hold.” Jaren paused. “You should also know that there is nothing I wouldn’t give you if it was in my power.”

“I understand,” Elston said, though he didn’t even begin to understand.

“Then believe me when I say that no decision you could make will make me think less of you.” Jaren cleared his throat. “But you should know that you are pregnant.”

Elston’s mouth fell open. He knew he’d heard Jaren correctly, but he couldn’t process the information. Jaren only looked human, and Elston had seen for himself what he really was.
