Katherine

Katherine crawled the length of her bed and buried her face in the pillows where she’d slept with Knox all night. They still smelled like him. A mix between pine and wet dog. It was oddly comforting and heartbreaking at the same time.

One sob after another tore from her throat. Her lungs burned. Her face was wet. Tears poured as if there would never be an end.

“Katherine.” The bed dipped a little on the side. “That boy is stupid.”

“Harrison, he said we’d do this together. He promised.”

“But you were in danger. I shot at those other guys, Kat. If I hadn’t followed your dumb asses, no telling what would’ve happened. I saw them. They were like him, but different.”

“I’m not helpless.”

“But he was, sweet thing. I saw his face through my scope. When those other two guys started advancing on you. Had you surrounded. He knew he’d lost and the thought that you were going to get hurt was stripping away his soul. Any man worth his salt would’ve done the exact same thing.”

“Now you’re on his side?”

“Hell no, I’m just saying. I sympathize.”

“He lied. Broke promises. I don’t want anything to do with him.”

Harrison sighed, but Katherine kept her face buried in the pillows. She couldn’t face her father. Knox. Anyone. Everything hurt so much. The pain reminded her of that night her dad betrayed and left her.

“I’ll be back later to check on you. Get some rest, okay.” He stood and the mattress moved again. A light pressure touched her head. His hand was stroking her hair. Then lips pressed softly to the crown of her head. “I love you, baby girl. You’re going to get through this too. Just know that boy loves you more than anything. And I wouldn’t say that lightly.”

“He barely knows me. How would you know that?”

“It’s a guy thing. We can see it.” His boots clunked on her floor toward her bedroom door. “I’ll lock up on my way out. Stay in today, sweetheart. I’ve got to go make some deliveries today, otherwise I’d stay with you all day.”

“I’ll be fine. Thanks Harrison.”

“Anything for you, Kat.”

Katherine listened to his footsteps fade. Then the house shuddered when he opened and closed the front door. Then his truck roared to life and disappeared into the distance.

She was alone.

For real.

Knox was gone.

Everyone was gone. And she was in her bed without the man who had quickly become a vital piece of her heart. And now her heart felt like it’d been carved with a butcher’s blade. There were slices falling away as she questioned every word Knox had said. All the things he told her about fated mates and soul matches were crap.

Except Harrison thought he really did love her. It was the only thing that had kept her from just giving up completely and letting everything she felt for Knox wither and die. The sooner her feelings died and were forgotten, the sooner it would stop hurting. Right?

She closed her eyes and let the emotional exhaustion pull her under.
