Chapter 14

A stick snapped under Adam’s foot, and he cursed. He had to start paying more attention. He’d left her back at the house with Maddox watching her. For some reason, it grated on him that his little brother kept being the one to watch over her. Though, the way the man kept hiding from his twin and Ellie, Adam wasn't so surprised that Maddux kept volunteering for the job.

At least he hoped that was the reason.

For most of his life, Adam had always put his job first, leaving his family second. He had to do that because his job was to protect his family. Anna had understood and had been amazing at staying at home and making sure everything was right there. She’d had her own hobbies, a job, and friends, but she'd separated her life from his work life, as he wanted it. That helped him focus solely on his job during his work hours.

It wasn't the case with Bay. She occupied his thoughts day in and day out. Plus, he couldn't keep thinking of Anna like that; it was getting tedious. And it wasn't fair to Bay. The more he thought about Anna, the more depressed he got that she wasn't there and the fact that he kept thinking about her in the first place.

He checked the wards one more time, nodded to his second-in-command, and went back home. He couldn't stay out any longer. Though he and Bay had talked about what they would do in the future in general terms, they still had to iron out the details.

Like whether they were going to act like a real couple for the rest of their lives.

Could he love her?

His body shook at the thought. His wolf howled and stretched at the surface to say yes. But he couldn't. Not now.

He walked through the front door and inhaled Bay’s berry and ice scent. He’d grown accustomed to it. He wanted it to sink into his pores and never wash off. And that made him feel guilty. This never-ending cycle was going to turn him into an old man.

Bay waddled out toward him, and he gave her a hesitant smile, which she returned. He laughed inwardly at the fact that she waddled now, and yet when she needed to run for her life, nothing had seemed to slow her down. He'd followed her trail from his mother's house the moment he'd felt something wrong in the bond. He’d grown shaky, his wolf ready to attack at any moment until they could be sure their Bay was safe. He hadn't even waited for his mother to apologize for saying something she shouldn't have. He’d just known Bay was in trouble and she needed him. And that fact had scared him. It made him think that maybe this could work out.

“You’re home early,” she stated, and looked a little bit uncomfortable.

“Why are you standing?” It came out sharper than he'd intended, and Bay frowned.

Fuck, this was going to be harder than he’d thought.
