Chapter 141
“By this Damien guy?” “Yes.” “After what she did to me?”
“What she did was horrendous, I am not disputing that. And I am thankful that she didn’t kill you. But just like you are haunted by your parents death, she is haunted by what she did to you.”
“Good!” I lie back and stare up at the ceiling. “She deserves to be haunted.”
He doesn’t respond and finishes his shower as I lay in silence. Eventually, he climbs into bed, pulling me in against him. “I am not asking you to forgive her. I am not asking you to become friends with her.
“I don’t understand why she is here.” I mutter, fighting the tears “She didn’t have to help me find Jess, but she did anyway. If it wasn’t for her. Jess would likely not be here.” “That doesn’t answer my question.”
He rests his hands on my stomach and exhales. “I don’t have an answer right now. Or at least I don’t have anything to say that will make you fee better.”
Sitting up, I stare at him, “You always have an answer.”
He doesn’t speak. In the darkness. I watch his chest rise and fall. It wasn’t like him. He always had an answer and that unsettled me as much as Mallory being here.
At the breakfast table, I sit my face in my hands. I felt like crap.
“Come on.” Klaus speaks softly to me. “You are nearly done.” He taps the book in front of me. “Sorry,” I mutter.
“Dane said you weren’t feeling your best this morning.” He offers a smile.
“No one warned me about this side of pregnancy. And I’m so fed up of fucking ginger biscuits!” He grins and taps the book again. “Try to focus on this.
I read a few more sentences and look up at him. “Has he said anything to you?”
“About Mallory? No.”
“But he’s with her now.” I glance to the window
“He said he is showing her around.
“Why?”
“I didn’t get a chance to ask. But I assume it’s so she knows where everything is.”
“Do you think he is mated to her? Is that why he is welcoming her with open arms?
“What?!” Klaus splutters his drink all across the table and the book I’m supposed to be reading. “It’s just… I was mated to Kyle and Dane at the same time. He could have another mate out there.” “That explains why you look so tired. Were you up all night, thinking about that?”
I look away
“Neah, I don’t know if it’s your hormones playing tricks on you or you are gequinely overthinking it, Rut there is: 5 NO way. Dane is an honest guy. You know how long it took him to find you.” He closes the book I in fromt of me. “Let’s go for a.walk.” Conten belongs to swnevel.net
‘I’m supposed to be resting.”
“What good is rest going to do if you are just going to lie there stressing out?”
Stepping out into the warm morning sun. I see Dane, standing on his own. His arms folded across his chest as he observes the pack “You should be in bed if you are not studying!” He mutters as we approach him.
“Where’s Mallory?” I demand and he cocks a brow at me.
“Settling in at her temporary home.” His crimson eyes move to Klaus. “Can you give us some space?”
Klaus tells me that he will catch up to me later and gives me a wink as he walks away.
I take a deep breath and ask the question that has been plaguing me all night. “Is there something going on between you two?” ‘I’ve been waiting for you to ask since I read your mind last night.” He smiles, trying to break my tension
“And?
“No.” He pulls me into his arms. “You are my only mate. You are the one I love. You are the one carrying my children.”
“Then help me understand because I feel like I am losing my mind!” I blink back the tears that are trying to escape.
“I think she can help you.”
I open my mouth to respond, but all I could de is shake my head and frown at him.
“Neah, if you are carrying Lycans, we need somegite who knows more about thera? It’s still new to you, it’s> new to altof us here. She is not.the persamshe once was. But she has beerttiving as one for a lot langer thar you have.” Content beténgs to 4

“The others that have hurt you, they continued to hurt you. She left because she couldn’t handle what she had done and she has lived with that since.”
“She told me the same thing.” I mumble
“You don’t believe her or are you choosing not to believe her?”
