Wendy stared at him and he knew she wasnot his biggest fan in the moment. “Let me get this straight. Youhave unprotected sex with my daughter, with the mostfucked-up reasoning thathas my Eloise believing you and trusting you. The risk of pregnancyis still there, and you don’t even know how to fucking handleit.”
Beau had been scolded many times in hislife. By his own father. His own mother didn’t stick around longenough, but he had a feeling if she’d been a good woman like Wendy,he would have known this feeling long before now.
“You have no idea if my daughter is evengoing to survive this pregnancy? Do your kids come out as furrywolves already? Is it going to tear itself out of her? What?” Wendy asked. “Am Iabout to have a grandbaby I can’t stand because it killed mykid?”
“We don’t come out as wolves,” Rose said.“Our transition doesn’toccur until we’re mature.”
“That’s good to know. So I won’t have todeal with a bloody scene when it happens.”
“How is Eloise?” Beau asked.
Wendy shook her head. “No, you don’t getto find shit out from me, from her sister, or from any of yourpack. Do you understand me?” She looked between him and Rose. “Iknow that you and yourfellow wolf packs come to town, enjoy the people, have your fun. Ihave no problem with that, neither does Dorothy. I also don’t carethat Eloise was enjoying you, but you then accused my daughter ofcheating on you. You broke her heart, and now she is dealing withthe consequences. Be thankful I didn’t get my hunting rifle,because I would be all too happy to hunt you down and kill you,”Wendy said. “If you have anything useful to help me take care of mydaughter, then I’m all ears. If not, stay the fuckaway.”
She climbed into her truck, pulled out ofthe driveway, and drove off. He stayed, watching hertaillights until theyfaded into the distance.
“You know, I didn’t think she was much of amother, leaving her kids, having her own fun.”
“Eloise and Dorothy are grown women,” Rosesaid.
“Yeah, and it would seem I pissed off awhole family of women,” Beau said.
“Why did you accuse Eloise of cheating?”Rose asked.
Beau sighed. “I honestly didn’t think wecould get women pregnant. Not unless they’re our mates.”
“And it didn’t at all dawn on you that youmight be mated to Eloise?”
“No.”
“Fucking asshole,” Rose said.
“I am still your alpha.”
“I know that and as my alpha, I can stillcall you a fucking asshole. Eloise is my friend, but it looks likeI’m not going to get to spend any real time hanging out with myfriend because of you.” She sighed. “Do you even regret what youdid?”
Beau didn’t answer.
Instead, he spun on his heel and returnedto the house. He didn’t want to get intoconversations about shithe couldn’t change.
It had only been a couple of days, but italready felt like too long since he held Eloise in his arms.
Chapter Nine
“Where is your sexy dead nurse costume?”Eloise asked, looking over the top of the shelves of thehaberdashery.
“I don’t know, and I already told you, I’mnot doing the wholeHalloween thing this year.”
“Why not? You love getting dressed up like asexy nurse,” Eloise said. “That has been your costume foryears.”
“Yeah, and it’s getting a bit old now.”
Eloise put the seam rippers back in rows, and then turned tocheck on the shelves. The launderette was closed and her mother wasmaking the deliveries, including to Beau’s ranch.
She and Rose had come to an arrangement onthe food. Rose now assisted her with the grocery shopping and cooking. Sunday, aftereverything was labeled, Rose traveled back to her ranch. This hadbeen happening the past three weeks.
She’d gone three weeks without seeingBeau. All she did was work, grocery shop, and stay home. EvenDorothy had stoppedgoing out.
In fact, she’d spent a lot of time withher mother and sister. They were there in the morning when thesickness was at an all-time high. Certain foods set it off. Coffee was thebiggest one, and she couldn’t eat spicy food.
