Chapter 34

Gemma

Gemma watched as Cade walked away … as he took a step and then another and another until she could no longer feel him. Her heart curled in her chest, bereft, pining, pushing against her with the tiger’s urge to call him back. He was leaving, and she was letting him go, again. She wasn’t sure how long she could keep doing this. How long they could meet and wish, only to have it all snatched away again? She fisted her hands by her sides and dug her nails into her palms hard enough that pain shot through her arms. Fury burnt hot in her veins. Not at Cade. No. But the man she could feel watching her. The man who was meant to protect her.

Her father.

He was at the window to his office, a silent shadow in the dim light cast by his dark room. She didn’t need to see him totally to know what he was thinking. He’d won. He’d put his pawn into place and strengthened his position even more as alpha and Council leader. Just the thought of it grated against her skin, knowing one day, she would inherit the very thing she’d been sacrificed for. She didn't want it. She didn’t want that kind of power if it meant one day, she’d have to hurt her own child.

She pictured Connor. It wasn’t hard to do since she’d already imagined him a hundred times in her dreams. What he would look like, who he would be. He always looked like his father in her imagination. Strong, beautiful … perfect. She tried to imagine what it would take for her to ever do this to him. How could her father stand so coldly and watch her fall apart in front of him?

Cade would never have done this to his child. No. He would give up everything for their son. Even his life.

She wanted to ask her father if it felt like victory. If he was happy that what he wanted … what he had fought for, was only held into place because he sold out one of his children. She bit back the insults and accusations that wanted to boil with anger inside her. Her mind wanted to go over and over everything with agonising repetition, but what did it matter? It wasn’t like she would change his mind.

Pulling her gaze away, she bit back her own despair. Cade’s car was gone now. He had driven away … was driving back to her, to Natalie. To his own mate. The day was already heavy, stifling, like she was losing purpose in everything she needed to do. Karl was at the doorway now. He was watching her. Those cool green eyes stared at her, but the way he had his head angled, brought panic to her throat. The look on his face was one she was sure she could never return like he would want.

“Everything okay?” he asked, when she got closer. He held his hand out to her.
