My heart shattered at the thought of never seeing them again, but I had to do this for my baby. I had nine months to get my career back on track, and I would have to get a home ready as a single mother.
Chapter Thirty-Four
ZAFF
Listening to my omega’s cries of despair all night put me in complete agony. I couldn’t bear it as I sat in front of her door with my face in my hands.
I wanted to badly break the lock and go in there but my pack advised against that.
“She probably needs space,” Ruston had said. “You’ve been smothering her with attention for days.”
“What the fuck? I haven’t been giving her enough attention, and look at what’s happening now,” I retorted at that time.
But now the pack was sleeping in their rooms while I sat in front of her door, listening to her sobbing every twenty minutes.
I wanted to hold her in my arms. I wanted to reassure her that whatever she was going through would be past.
The only thing that went through my mind was that she was wanting to leave me and my pack. Her heat was over and she would have no need for me anymore.
Maybe she hadn’t truly forgiven me.
The crying inside the room had stopped, and I could hear her shuddering breaths as she drifted off to sleep. I could tell she was sleeping because her breathing pattern changed from frantic to calm.
I pulled my face away from my hands and sighed. I had never slept a night without her beside me. Even on my late nights of working, I’d get in bed, and she would automatically snuggle in beside me. Something had changed, and I needed to know what it was. I made myself comfortable in front of her door and closed my eyes.
I would give her the space she needed for now, until tomorrow morning.
A shrill screech awakened me.
“What the fu-?” I groaned as I opened my eyes. I’d forgotten that I was sleeping on the floor, and Bree’s door was wide open.
She stood above me, looking at me with shock.
“Did you sleep here all night?” she asked.
“Yes,” I grunted, sounding like an old man, and I felt like one too. My joints ached from sleeping on the cold ground, but hope rose in my chest as I talked to her.
Talking to her gave me life. Looking at her rosy cheeks made my dick hard as fuck.
“Um, why would you do that?”
“Because I love you,” I said, trying to think of a plan quickly. “And I want to take you out today? Does a picnic sound good?”
“But don’t you have work?” she asked as she bit her lip uncertainly.
“No,” I lied. I would take a hundred daysoff if it meant spending more time with her. I slowly stood up on numb legs from staying in one position all night. “Why don’t you get ready, sweetheart, and we’ll leave right after?”
She looked excited at the thought, but there was a cloud behind her eyes, like a sadness that I dreaded. Feeling the distance between us, I clasped her tiny hands in mine.
Her bottom lip trembled as she tried to hold it together. Panic roiled within me as I began wondering what she was thinking and contemplating the entire night.
Was she completely done with me?
“Okay, I’ll get ready,” she finally said with a shuddering sigh.
I reluctantly let her hands go as she walked back into the room, closing the door behind her. I stood there for a full minute, trying to process what just happened.
She was pulling away from me, and I could feel it.
