FIFTEEN

“Hello?” London answered the phone as I glanced around the hotel room furtively. It would take Roman a few minutes to grab our food, but I was still nervous. A few hours into our little honeymoon, we were both too hungry to keep going at it. Roman wanted to buy me a pizza and even though it meant he had to leave for a couple minutes, I’d never say no to pizza.

“Hey. Quick question.” I ran a hand over the top of my wild, tangled hair. “I need the short answer. When you mated with Gunner, did it feel… magical? Not the sex; that’s great. But like, something beyond that?”

I paced the kitchenette while I waited for her answer.

Having sex was awesome. Hot, sensual, relaxing, and exciting all at once. But I’d expected something more than just sex when we first mated; I’d expected a feeling like the one I had when Roman and I bit each other. I expected to feel our souls connecting or some magical shit like that.

“The hormones got to you?” London sighed. “Do I need to kick the Alpha’s ass?”

“Answer the question.” I barked.

“Of course it felt magical. It’s like your damn souls are intertwining. I didn’t even know we were mating, and I knew some crazy-intense shit had just gone down.”

Shit.

Shit.

SHIT.

What the hell was wrong with me?

“Did you not feel that?” London asked, caution in her voice.

I shut my eyes tightly and didn’t answer.

Why did crap like this always happen to me?

Why couldn’t things go normally for me just one damn time?

“Oh, Hennie.” The words were softer than any I’d ever heard from her. I hadn’t called London for sympathy, just cold hard facts that came without judgment.

“He’s going to be back soon.” I whispered. “What am I supposed to say?”

“That’s completely up to you.”

For once, I wanted someone to give me instructions. Orders, even.

“Arla’s still looking into your hair. Maybe she’ll find something. This probably has to do with all the other stuff, right?” London asked. “If you don’t want to tell him yet, you said the sex was great. So just be with him for a bit, be all in, and give her time to find answers.”

“He’s going to be so hurt.” I dropped my forehead to the mini island in the kitchenette, the cool stone not helping with the heavy frustration and sadness weighing on me.

“Everyone hurts the people they love sometimes. This isn’t in your control. You chose him; magic or no magic, you’re mates.”

I nodded against the counter, eyes squeezing shut again.

“Thanks. He’ll be back soon, so I have to go. Don’t tell anyone please.”

“Like you need to ask.” London scoffed. “Text me your hotel name and room number and I’ll send you a present that’ll keep you guys plenty distracted.”

My eyes rolled.

“Not happening.”

“Too early for lingerie? You’ll get there.”

I heard a noise outside and hung up quickly, throwing my phone on the counter and scrambling toward the bathroom. I’d only put on Roman’s shirt, so I tossed it to the floor, jumped in the shower, and yanked the handle around so the water fell from above me.
