Carter

“You are not going to pass out. Look at me.” Alec took my face in his hands and held me close. “There’s a vent pumping air in here. It’s not that cold. Muddy will come looking for you soon. I’ll shift and break down the door if I need to. I won’t let anything happen to you. We are completely okay in here.”

I looked into his eyes and felt myself calming down. “We’re okay?”

He smiled. “We’re okay.”

That sounded good. Really good. In that moment, a moment of terror, I liked the idea of Alec taking care of me.

“I take it this isn’t a good time to finish what we started last night.”

“Don’t be a dick.”

“I thought so.” He laughed and held me tighter to his chest. “I’ll always take care of you, Carter. You’re my mate.”

“You changed speeds pretty quickly. Yesterday, you were engaged to be married to someone else.” I thought about the bite mark on his neck and gritted my teeth. “You were having sex with someone else. Your actions leave me with a lot of questions about your intentions.”

“I wasn’t having sex with her! I admit that technically I cheated on Chelsie with you. Maybe not the best way to handle things. But, I promise you I haven’t touched her since I laid eyes on you. I swear. I wouldn’t have been able to even if I’d wanted to—which I didn’t! All I could think about was you, Carter.” He stroked his hands up and down my back. “My execution was flawed, but I’ve got it figured out now.”

My fear warred with a weird but ever present sliver of hope and loosened my lips. “It’s not easy to trust… I don’t trust easily.”

“Someone hurt you.” He said it as a statement and his eyes glowed as his wolf moved closer to the surface. “Where is he?”

I roughly shook my head and pressed my forehead to his chest, not able to look at him as I spoke my ugly truth. “He hurt me. I ran with Jellybean, but he followed. Cannon helped me hide, but he found us. He shot Cannon and almost killed him. Cannon…” I swallowed the lump in my throat unable to finish that sentence.

“Cannon killed him?” Alec’s voice was matter of fact.

I nodded and let him wrap his arms tighter around me. He was squeezing me tightly, but it felt good. I needed his closeness. “I knew we weren’t mates, but our kind don’t always find true mates. He was nice and he made me feel special. I thought I was in love with him. Then, I got pregnant…” I could feel my body tensing.

His hands stroked my back and arms comfortingly. “I’m not him, Carter. I would never intentionally hurt you. Our beginning wasn’t perfect, but I intend to make the rest of our lives as close to perfect as I can.”

I almost believed him. It scared the hell out of me, but there it was. “How does this work?”

He pulled back enough to meet my eyes.
