Chapter 15

Leaving Paige was not easy. It never was really, but after our marathon love-making all weekend, I felt an even stronger desire not to let her out of my sight. I regretted my decision to leave her alone all day.

I kept meaning to buy her a cell phone since I didn't have a phone line at the house. When it was just me, why would I bother? But now that meant I had no way to contact my mate. That didn’t sit well with me.

Working through lunch, I headed home early. I couldn't wait to see her again. It was kind of disgusting just how much I missed her after only a few hours away.

The guys would have a field day and never let me live it down if I admitted it. I didn’t really care though. Was it really a bad thing I wanted to spend every second of my life with my mate now that I’d found her? A part of me hoped it would always be this way, but maybe without so much paranoia.

In my mind ran a hundred different scenarios of everything that could go wrong while I was at work. There were a thousand things out there that could hurt her. I knew she wasn't in heat at the moment, but what if the Alpha order broke and there was some sort of residual effects on people? What if she choked on a grape or slipped in the shower?

No matter how outrageous it was—like an alien attack or a lightning strike, despite it being a beautiful bright and sunny day with barely a cloud in the sky—I couldn't stop my brain from worrying about her. My wolf was feeding off the fear and compounding my emotions.

So, by the time I finally drove home, I was a complete wreck. And I knew I wasn't going to calm down until I saw my mate for myself.

Pulling into the driveway brought a little relief. The house looked no worse for the wear than it had since the attack.

I grabbed the pizzas I'd had Will run and pick up for me in town and walked quickly to the door.

I was pathetically whipped. But even that realization couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

“Sweetheart, I'm home,” I yelled, as I opened the door.

I stepped inside and froze. The pizzas slid from my hand and in slow motion, they dropped to the floor. One box top flew open and the pizza slid out onto the hardwood. I didn't care as I stood there in shock.

The place was a disaster. The couch was overturned, cabinets were opened, and their contents spewed out across the room.

“Paige!” I screamed as I stepped over the rubbish and ran back to the bedroom.

The closet door was open, but I knew she wasn't there even before I looked inside. Even her favorite blanket where she nested down when she was scared was gone.

“Paige!” I yelled, grabbing my phone and calling James.

“Hey man, what's up?”

I was running from room to room finding each as much a disaster as the last.
