Chapter Nine

Addyson sat at the kitchen table and watched the steam rise from her coffee. She couldn’t sleep. The prior day’s events kept replaying in her mind. Her heart ached for Keegan. He still held on to the pain of his loss, or was it the so-called betrayal?

Something just didn’t settle right with her. Keegan’s mate couldn’t have turned her back on him and the Pack. Addyson refused to believe it to be the case.

The sound of shuffling feet drew her out of her thoughts. She turned her head as Will sat down next to her. “Morning. Did I wake you?”

He shook his head. “No, ma’am.”

“Are you hungry? I made muffins.”

His eyes brightened, and the corners of his mouth lifted. “Blueberry?”

Addyson laughed softly and ruffled his hair as she stood to go get the tray of muffins and pour him a glass of milk.

“Where are you from?”

She stilled briefly, surprised by the question. “What do you mean?”

“Where did you grow up?”

Addyson closed the milk carton and put it back in the fridge. “I don’t remember my childhood.”

Will drew his eyebrows together. “Not at all?”

Addyson shook her head. “Nope. Nevan, the Pack Empath and psychiatrist, said that my mind may have locked up my personal memories to preserve my own sense of reality.”

A tic formed in his temple, and he took a breath before asking, “How long were you there?”

She shrugged. “About a hundred years.” He fell silent, making Addyson peer over at him after taking her seat next to him. He picked at his muffin, and she could tell he was deep in thought. Covering his forearm with her hand, she said, “Now do you understand why my mind is broken?”

His gaze snapped up to hers. “You are not broken. You’re just scared and need time to heal.”

She meant to argue but stopped as she caught Keegan’s oak-and-spice scent wrapping around her. A moment later she felt his hands press gently on her shoulders. Leaning down so his lips were inches from her ear, he whispered, “You’re a very strong female, Addy.”

Her heart fluttered rapidly behind her ribs, and for a second, she almost forgot how to breathe.

Keegan’s weight lifted from her, and when he moved to walk around the table, she let out a breath she didn’t remember holding. Sitting down across from her, he took a muffin from the plate and met her gaze with brown eyes so dark they looked black.

“Why don’t you have Jared see if he can help you remember?” Keegan said casually.

Jared was the Pack Justice and possessed the ability to read people’s memories through touch. Although it was possible that Jared could unlock her memories, there was the little issue she had with skin-to-skin contact.

Addyson shook her head. “I don’t know if I want to remember.”

Keegan narrowed his eyes at her. The stare was so intense she had to look away, her cat too much of a submissive to hold the connection.

She linked her fingers together on the table and focused on them as she told the two of them what she did know about her den.
