Chapter Ten

The drive home was quiet. I would have been lying if I said I wasn’t afraid to face my pack. I wondered what they thought of me leaving. Would they still trust me? It wasn’t like everyone liked me. I was Rikki’s mate and if not for that, I’d be labeled an outsider within the pack.

But what scared me the most was not knowing if Rikki and I would recover from my choices. We were mated through our wolves, but her own heart was a different story. Would we end up in a loveless relationship, only bound together through our wolves? I wouldn’t be able to live that way.

The Jeep jerked to a stop, the back door opening as Malcolm stepped out, rushing to Braelin, who stood on the porch in shock. I smiled, happy to see relief loosen her shoulders. When he was nearly to her, she found the ability to move again and leapt off the porch into his arms.

I just watched and found myself tearing up at the sight. My eyes shifted off to my side as Rikki opened my passenger door. I hadn’t noticed her exit the vehicle. For whatever reason, I couldn’t find a way to move.

“Are you going to hide in here all night?” Rikki’s words reminded me of the time I’d been forced to come after learning I’d be turning into a werewolf for the first time. I’d been in complete denial and had sat in the car until Rikki carried me off to her shed.

I stared at the shed now. Our shed. I wouldn’t act like a coward hiding inside the car.

“It feels like so much time has passed.”

“You haven’t been introduced to this world in a positive way. They understand you were only making the best decision you knew to make.” Rikki was trying to comfort me with hopeful words.

For a few heartbeats I only stared at Rikki, needing to know if she believed her own words. Maybe she’d spared the pack the truth of who I’d been with and was keeping all the pain to herself.

“I won’t lie to them,” I finally said.

Rikki’s expression blank, she nodded approvingly.

“They all know the truth. There’s no reason to lie.” There was no affection in her eyes for me. She was guarded and that hurt to see. I’d caused that.

I averted my eyes, ashamed and regretful. When I stepped out of the Jeep, all eyes turned to me. More of the pack had come out of the house, many with expressions I wasn’t sure I read correctly. And a few with distrust.

Tato came to me first and embraced me tightly. His strong arms squeezed me, and I felt his genuine happiness in my return.

“I’ve missed you.” His words soothed me, and I couldn’t help but cry.

Rosemary came next, giving me a tight hug and shaking me from side to side.

“Don’t you ever scare us like that again.”

Soon, one by one, more came to embrace me, including Cecelia and her mate and Rikki’s second, Toni.
