Kennedy

After lunch, Connor and my father go off to talk, probably about the ceremony tonight. My mother, Quirin, and I head up to my room to pack the rest of my things.

“I looked around last night and I don’t think I need to take much. Quirin has plenty of furniture, so I just want to take one of my smaller dressers,” I tell my mother.

As I pack up my things, Quirin takes them to the truck we brought. When I’m done, I look around the space that was my bedroom for eighteen years and realize that it no longer feels like home. Home is where Quirin is, and he was never here.

After we’re done, I shower and start getting ready for my brother’s ceremony. I’m not sure where Quirin went, but he comes in just as I finish getting ready.

“You look stunning, Kennedy,” he says, coming over stroking his fingers over my cheek. “Absolutely stunning.”

I wrap my arms around his waist. “Can you believe it was one week ago that you called me mate?” I ask him.

“So much has changed in one week, Little Pup,” he says.

“My entire life has changed,” I whisper.

“Both of our lives did,” he says, leaning in to kiss me. I hold him, trying to tell him without words that I want him, that I miss our intimacy. When he pulls away, I’m not sure that he understood.

“You know, we could recreate our mating night here tonight,” I tell him. I watch his eyes go wide with something close to fear in them, but that makes no sense.

“Little Pup, your father and I have a very tenuous truce going right now. Let’s not push it by mating a couple of rooms away from him,” he says, kissing my nose before walking into the bathroom.

I feel the tears prick my eyes at his words. My father knows that I’m mated. He wouldn’t care if Quirin and I were together. This feels like an excuse. An excuse that just reinforces what I thought before. Quirin’s had me once, and that’s all it will ever be for him.
