Chapter 176
Chapter 176: Caine: Where’s the Cat?
CAINE
Grace seems calmer, but she’s still a little too fidgety and pale for my liking.
I sigh. I had been planning on moving us out tonight, at least a little farther so we could get off the road. Now, I’m wondering if we should stay here overnight and leave in the morning.
We should leave soon, Fenris says. Before one of those human cops shows up.
I leave her in the bedroom to relax, feeling the weight of her silence like an uncomfortable boulder pushing down a part of my soul.
What the hell kind of trauma does she carry to trigger such a terrible response? She wasn’t even this afraid after I took over her pack, or when I’d come to her in the forest—though, thinking back on the memory only serves to make my heart twist into an awkward, guilt-ridden pretzel.
I was so angry at the idea of a human mate—irritated by the idea of another mate at all—and took it out on her, furious she dared to be so alluring with her blueberry muffin scent and pretty green eyes.
I’m not exactly known for my gentle touch, but I’m learning. At the very least, I’d never tie her up in a forest again. Or yank at her hair. Or choke her...
Damn it. Fenris is right. Considering our history, it’s a miracle she doesn’t run screaming every time she sees my face.
I told you.
Hindsight is a terrible thing.
I pinch the bridge of my nose, annoyed by the headache I’ve been fighting since earlier this morning.
It’s the cat. It has to be the cat making her feel so strange. Let’s get rid of it.
"I can’t do that."
Why not?
Because if I get rid of the cat now, she’ll think I lied about not being angry. She’ll think I’m punishing her.
