FIFTEEN

GAGE

A week had passed, and the wound was just as fresh today as it had been the day she locked the door behind him.

Gage had been trying to get drunk every single moment since then. After he left Rylee’s apartment, he’d gone straight to the nearest bar and slammed all the whiskey he could buy, finding that it gave a few moments of warmth but no relief.

After that, he started hunting down the strongest shifter moonshine he could find. Looking for alcohol that might actually numb his incredibly strong body. After a full week of drinking, he still hadn’t managed more than a light buzz.

He sat at the bar, glowering at the mirror behind it. He could see himself in it. A tall, disheveled man in shaggy clothes. The scowl on his face made him look like he could murder an innocent if it were turned in the right direction. The bar wasn’t swinging yet, and Talon was giving him a look that suggested he didn’t want him here when it was.

He stared down into the small glass of dull, black moonshine. It looked thick like coffee that was too strong and sweet. He took another sip of it, letting it burn his throat and hoping that this time, it might put some space between him and the horrible thoughts in his head.

The day after the fight, he’d tried to call Rylee. He wanted to tell her that even if she decided to go ahead and raise the child without him, he’d be there to offer financial support. He had to make some contribution to the situation.

Gage didn’t want to be a father. That was the one thing he was truly certain of. At the same time, he took care of his responsibilities. He would help her in any way possible, even if it was just child support.

He knew he was a shitty person. It wasn’t as if he needed to prove that again, like he had when he’d lost control that horrible night a week ago. Still, he accepted it, and the one thing he could be proud of was that he handled his business.

In spite of her hurtful “sperm donor” comment, Gage very much felt that this was his business, and he was going to handle it whether she liked it or not. He would find a way to support her even if she refused his money.

The message he’d left on her phone had been brief, only telling her that he intended to help and wanted to talk to her about it. He was not surprised when she didn’t return his call. Seeing as how it had gone straight to voicemail, he was probably blocked, anyway.

He looked from his glass to the mirror again and winced. He liked the view less and less every time he looked up. He swallowed the last of the liquid in his glass, watching the thick silt shift along the bottom. He had no idea what was in this stuff, but he was pretty sure it was rendered with molasses.
