Chapter Twenty-Five

Scratch

I do not know how to feel when our mate touches me. We are alone with her, and she seems to be interested in us, but I cannot make myself believe any of this is real.

It is too perfect. Leaving The Abyss and finding a true mate was my dream for so long, and yet now that it is beginning to come true it feels like it is an illusion that might shatter if I try to hold onto it too tightly.

So, I move out of the hallway, where my mate was attempting to make some sort of connection with me. Even if she cannot hear anything I tell her, she is open and willing to find a way to communicate with me.

I should not have walked away.

It is not what any of my brothers would have done.

I know if Fox was here, he would have her halfway to her bedroom by now, drowning in kisses and making her beg for more. Snake may be content to follow his lead, but I know he would have grabbed the chance first if he’d had it, too.

Now, she is in the hallway alone with Scar, and I know he will be making sure she is feeling better after I was rude to her. I clasp my fingers around the stone I’ve carried since I was a small child. It is a simple grey stone with a smooth surface that I have been attached to ever since I laughed for the first time that I can remember. Scar had taken me out to the forest that night to hunt, and we had failed at capturing a meal, but he made me feel better by carrying me out to the river where he taught me how to skim stones across the surface of the water.

I kept this one when I found it, enjoying the texture of it in my hands.

It became an item of comfort that made me feel better whenever I was unhappy.

Holding it has always reminded me that no matter how bad things are, there is always something to be grateful for.

It isn’t working today, probably because I have been holding it ever since I gave Fox my pouch.

I open my hand and look at it, wondering if it was always just a pretty stone.

It does not seem to contain the healing power it once did.

Sighing, I curl my fist around it and lean back against the wall.

I look up as Scar walks into the room.

He shakes his head at me, clearly disappointed.

I do not try to explain myself. I simply look down at the ground.

He sits next to me, muttering, “If you hurt her, I will kill you.”

I frown at him, and it takes me a moment to understand what he’s saying.

It was rude to flinch away from our mate.

I hurt her feelings with that response.

It probably only made things worse when I walked away.

“What was I supposed to do?” I ask him, instead. “Let her arouse me with her
