Josie POV
I’m losing my mind. It feels like all I do is pick a fight and argue with Rohan who doesn’t have a clue what is going on with me. Every time I think about approaching him and demanding to know who the f**k Lauren is, I chicken out and retreat back to the room or into the living room to stare blankly at the television. My mind whirls with thoughts of what she might look like. Is she beautiful? Is she thin? Is she older than me? Does she have children? It’s driving me crazy and no amount of reassurance or encouragement from my wolf is having an effect on me.
Why don’t you just go for a walk and enjoy the fresh air? We no longer have to rest in the room and to be honest I’m feeling cooped up inside. We might not be able to shift, but it’s got to be better than staring at the walls and driving ourselves nuts wondering about this mystery woman and why she’s contacting Rohan. Especially since you are determined not to confront him about her.
If I confront him then it’s as good as telling him I don’t trust him but it’s not just that. What if he lies to me? What if it’s completely innocent and I’m just blowing everything out of proportion because I’m feeling insecure about how I look and feeling fat due to the pregnancy?
You’re not fat my wolf growled you’re beautiful inside and out and as for being insecure, I wish you would realize how stunning you are. If it’s completely innocent, don’t you think that Rohan would appreciate you going to him with your concerns instead of seething over it? The poor man has no idea what is making you so angry and to be fair, neither does his wolf because I’ve been angry too and refusing to talk.
I get up and mechanically put a jacket on, aware that it’s windy outside and cold. My hair is long and wavy, cascading down my back and I put it up in a messy ponytail in order to get it out of my face. I’m already wearing sweatpants and a shirt and I decide to take Amber’s advice, my wolf, and go for a walk outside, despite the chilly weather. It beat being inside with nothing but my thoughts to keep me company. Rohan was busy anyway and had gone into his study, probably to get away from me and my constant mood swings. I didn’t blame him.
I opened the pack house door feeling melancholy and stepped outside, feeling the wind flow through my hair and caress my face. The air was refreshing and my mood instantly boosted as I began to make my way around the grounds, the clouds in the sky like pale whisps reminiscent of white quartz and the sky an azure blue. The grass was freshly mowed and had that freshly mowed grass got and my feet sank into the softness of it as I walked, the flowers in full bloom around the house. I stopped to admire a particularly pretty rose, inhaling its delicate perfume, its petals silky and soft to the touch. I sighed, feeling myself becoming relaxed for the first time in days, my eyes focussing on the gorgeous scenery as I took in the lushness of the trees and heard the distant sound of birds chirping.
It was nice to be outside and amongst some of the pack members again. I waved to a few that I was familiar with, and then settled down on a bench outside, content to sit and let time slowly pass by.
See, I told you this would do us some good my wolf said smugly.
I rolled my eyes. Sometimes my wolf could be really arrogant, but this time I was forced to concede that she was right. I should have done this days ago. Then again, it’s not like I was supposed to.
Yes, Amber, you were right I said touchily being outside is a lot better than being stuck indoors wondering what Rohan is up to. I don’t even feel like strangling him at the moment I added thoughtfully, making her snort with laughter.
It’s a shame we can’t go for a run she said a little wistfully as I gazed at the forest, her tail wagging forlornly but once the pup is born, we can go run for as long as we like. Our pup is more important than a run she added as though I doubted how much she cared for the baby.
I know how much you miss it Amber and it’s okay to feel sad I told her I miss running too. We really didn’t get much chance to go for a run and while some white wolves can shift while pregnant, you’ve already said you’re not one of them. It’s okay I assured her I promise you, we will go for many runs when our precious pup is born.
She seemed content with that, lying down in my mind and placing her head on her paws, a smile on her face.
Silence. The tension eased out of my body, but then I spotted somebody coming towards me and straight away my body stiffened again. Rohan, what was he doing out here? Was it to yell at me for being outside again? I gritted my teeth as he got closer, prepared to argue with him once more. He looked frazzled but also handsome, I thought with a groan, trying not to stare at him. Even now, I still felt the pull of the mate bond and I still desired to be with him. My wolf was struggling with her own desire to be near him as well. He stopped in front of me, running a hand through his hair, making it more mussed and to be honest, only adding to his appeal. Damn. I fought to keep my voice even.
“Yes, Rohan?” I said coolly and saw the disappointment in his eyes at the coldness of my greeting.
Instantly I felt bad. He swallowed and then sighed. “Listen, I was going to mind-link you but you have a block up still,” he said tightly.
Amber’s doing. I said nothing. “I have some business I need to tend to and due to the business I am only reachable due to an emergency” he said gruffly “you can contact me on my cell phone if you need me.”
I just nodded. He looked as though he wanted to say something else then sighed and leaned down kissing me on the forehead. “I’ll see you later” he said softly and turned and began to walk away.
It’s Friday Amber reminded me do you think this might have something to do with that Lauren woman?
Why else would he say not to contact him unless it’s an emergency?
It’s going to be impossible to just follow him, he’s too aware of that.
He has a habit of writing everything down and he doesn’t think I know anything. Wait till he’s gone and then we’ll check his study. I’m willing to bet that he’s written down the address and left it somewhere. We’ll find it and then we’ll go confront him once and for all I told my wolf silently, watching as my mate’s figure disappeared, we’ll catch him in the act so that he can’t deny it to our face.
