I’m handed the money in cash, which is another no-no. But I’m guessing Crow thought of that, too. The asshole.
Just thinking about him makes me ache and hurt worse, though.
What’s so wrong with me that people keep leaving me? Keep abandoning me?
I make it back to the car with no real idea how I got here.
Where do I go?
I have no idea, but I start the car. Should I go home? Maybe I can find Raider or Kelly.
I sit in the car and rest my head on the steering wheel. Why won’t this ache go away? Why does it hurt this much?
The irony is that I gave up everything for love, and now I’m here, with the love that I searched so desperately for refusing to have me.
Is my life some cosmic joke? I hope whoever is up there is getting a good giggle.
Am I destined to be this unlucky for the rest of my life? Perhaps I should just find a hole and lay there until my last breath leaves my body.
I keep seeing them in my mind, all the nice things they did, and then how they acted this morning. It doesn’t measure up. Two conflicting personalities, two conflicting realities.
The sobs take over again, and I can’t believe how much I’m crying. My eyes are burning, but I can’t seem to stop. I heard so many women talk about guys who did this. They were one way until they got what they wanted and then just changed, but these three were my happily ever after. They are my pack.
They aren’t meant to do this.
I start the car and wipe away the tears I wasn’t even aware I was leaking. I’m an omega on her own now. My designation will appear stronger, making it easier for people to determine what I am. I’m vulnerable. I’m going to need to make a decision about what to do.
I need them.
A whine escapes me as I put the car into drive, and I have to fight the urge to drive back to their house.
I need them.
But it would seem they don’t want me.
How tragic.
Chapter ten
Crow
“What did we do?”I whisper and bite my thumbnail. My knee is bouncing, and I have this insane feeling that someone is watching me, even though no one is there.
I haven’t been this bad in years.
But it all comes back to what did we do?
“We did the right thing,” Saint assures me. “Love is nothing but a weapon. We swore we would never have any other bonds, no one else coming into the pack. We have protected that. There is nothing wrong with protecting ourselves.”
“What if she needs us? What if she’s hurt? Where’s she going to sleep? What if-”
“Stop, Crow!” Saint thunders. “We can’t control her actions. She had a choice and a bed to stay in, and she chose to leave. We have ensured that she has a significant amount of money and a car. She will be fine.”
Hunter is silent. He’s standing behind the bar, leaning with his hip on it, staring at the floor like he’s willing it to open up and swallow him whole.
“Hunter? A little help?” I snap at him.
Hunter looks up and shakes his head. “I don’t understand why she left.”
