He bumps my hand when I stop petting him. Sall very touch-starved regardless of what form he is in. I scratch under his chin, and he licks my face. That brings a genuine smile to my face, but it’s not good enough.

“Guilt won’t help the situation, everything’s been done already. You won’t be able to turn back time, and this is just worrying me.” I sigh, slowly leaning my forehead against his. He whimpers, I do, trying to break away. “Listen, if you’re confused about what it is that you’re here for? It’s your child, honey boy.” I swallow, unsure if he is listening, but Jagger has his ears perked up and is leaning into my touch. “That’s what I’m here for too. Each other is enough too, but it’s nice seeing the bigger picture. I haven’t seen anything outside of you for so long, but now I do.” I say.

Jagger pulls away, pacing now, and staring into the night, and he woofs, the sound brief and sharp. He moves closer to the railing, and my heart jumps in my throat. “You know what I see now? I see the baby that we have to protect, together. I need you to see that too because I can’t do this alone.” I say, but Jagger has his back turned to me. “Please,” I beg. “Don’t let me do this alone.”

My face drops into my hand before the tears fall, as if it’ll stop them, and for a few seconds, it does. It does until I realise I might as well be talking to myself because neither my mate nor his wolf are listening to a word I say. When Jagger goes into the room, I stand. I need him to get back here so I can make him shift. I wipe my tears away, but they keep falling. I’m frustrated now. I drop to the ground once again and just sob.

The harder I try to stop, the heavier the tears fall. Damn hormones. I feel it everywhere, every teardrop comes with a suffocating pain that lingers until the next one drops, and it just keeps on multiplying.
