Chapter 11

Weston

It was wrong of me to have penetrated her thoughts like that, but I couldn’t help myself. Knowing she was imagining herself knocked up, a full round belly, carrying my child? Damn, it got me hard all over again.

But my words scared her. With reason. She doesn’t understand why I can hear her thoughts - and it’s got to be terrifying.

When she steps out of the bathroom, I want to explain, but by then we hear the crunch of tires rolling over the gravel driveway and Kate is flustered enough with the idea of being caught having sex with me.

“Kate?” I say, taking her wrist in my hand before she can leave the room. “I can explain, later.”

She shakes her head, confused. “I’m just going to pretend none of this happened.”

“None of what? Any of it?”

“Wes, Finley’s back. And this day is about her. Not whatever mind control game you’ve got going on with me okay?”

She leaves me alone in the room and moments later I hear her greeting my mom and daughter, but I know there is a false joy in her voice. I know, because I know her.

She is my mate.

And I’ve scared the shit out of her.

When my brothers hear, they’re gonna be pissed. This is the exact reason we have rules. Why we have a council. Why we don’t go rogue like the grizzlies, doing what we want, when we want.

People get hurt when that happens.

Like Heidi.

I strayed from the bear law before, and that choice left two communities reeling, never recovering from that tragedy. I slept with another man’s mate, and now I’m stepping over protocol again because I want Kate more than I want to follow the rules.

I know I need to cool it, or I’ll lose everything.

When I manage to leave my bedroom, having screwed my head on straight as it’s gonna get, I find Finley and Kate already mixing the cake batter together. My mom is carrying in bouquets of balloons.

“There are a few more bags in the trunk, Wes,” she says, cupping her hand to my cheek in greeting. “Do you mind grabbing them?”

Outside I take a deep breath, allowing the wild mountain air to calm my nerves. I’m all shaken up. It wasn’t just the sex - the best goddamn sex of my life. And it’s more than Kate being my mate.

I love her.

And if I’m going by her words alone, she doesn’t love me back.

I wish I could shift right now, let the bear inside me out to run free. Get some of this adrenaline out of my body before I explode.

But I can’t do that now, not today. Instead, I reach in my mom’s trunk and grab bags of food for the party. Dropping the bags of food on the kitchen table, I begin unloading them, careful not to catch Kate’s eyes. I know if I do, I’ll need to drag my fingers through her hair and explain my life away.

“Daddy, you okay?” Finley asks, breaking my trance.
