His feelings go so deep. Once he is committed to you, it’s for life. I forget that about him sometimes. But right now, what he’s doing with her. It’s different. This is Saint almost giving upeverything he is. He’s giving her his past, his present, and his future.
And he knows he can’t keep her.
He knows what’s coming.
He’s ripping his own heart out while he’s making love to the omega. I press my knuckles to my mouth to stop the tears that keep threatening to come up.
Even Crow is quiet, sitting close to me, unable to take his eyes off them.
Saint is our rock, our north, he’s the control when the world is falling apart. He’s the protector, the fighter, the cheerleader, our parent, and our lover. He’s everything we need him to be. Dominate and in charge in life. Submissive to Crow in the bedroom.
He gives us everything.
And right now, he’s giving her everything he can.
She cries out, wrapping herself around him tighter. He murmurs to her and strokes her hair.
I sink to the ground, wrecked.
It’s like a glimpse into a future that we forgot we couldn’t have. Crow reaches out and grips my hand. I cling to him, feeling sick.
Tomorrow, when her heat is done…we need to break this omega’s heart.
What have we done?
Chapter nine
Bethany
I don’t have bonds.That was the only disappointing part of waking up today. My body feels gloriously sore and different, but not in any way I can describe. I just feel transformed. I bounce into the kitchen and wrap my arms around Saint.
He doesn’t touch me or hug me back but instead gestures to the table where there’s food spread out. I’m a bit disappointed, but I don’t say anything.
“We need to head into work for the day. We’ll be gone all night. You can stay here and decide what you want to do.” Even his voice is colder than normal.
I stare at his back with a silly smile on my face and shake my head as I try to figure out what he means. I kiss him on the shoulder before bouncing to the food.
“I’ll come with you.”
“No, there’s no need. You can stay here.” Saint’s icy tones rip through the happiness.
I pause, confused. “You’d leave me here alone?”
“The house is perfectly safe. You’ll be fine.”
I struggle to find the words to ask the question that might help me understand what’s going on right now.
“But don’t you want to stay with me? We could go back to bed?” I ask coyly, dancing over to him and walking my fingers up his chest. How he touched me in my heat floods my mind, leaving me gazing up at him and thinking how wonderful he is.
“Sorry, Bethany. We’ve got to get to work, but your bedroom is made up for you if you want to sleep.”
I tilt my head to the side and try to make eye contact, but he moves away from me and takes his time buttering a slice of toast.
“The nest-”
“Will be dismantled. You don’t need to worry about it.”
I flinch, hard. “But-”
