KINGSTON

“I don’t see why you can’t wait until tomorrow when Aeliana goes to see Noah off. I’m fine.” I groan.

“You’re not fine,” Maddox tells me, “You spend all day in your bedroom, you can barely move, for fucks sake. Something has to be eating you from the inside.”

I shrug, throwing on a T-shirt as I walk out of my room. “Might be depression.”

“You’re on the move when you’re depressed,” he snickers. “Ellie makes you feel better when you’re depressed, but you’re still ill, surely you are not depressed.”

It’s nothing,” I wave him off, walking a little slower so I don’t put pressure on my leg. Moving my leg has been a little difficult. I had been taking a stroll in the woods for quite some time before I shifted, so I assumed my legs needed rest, which I’ve given myself, but it only seems to get worse. My right leg is starting to swell behind my knee, that’s why I called Maddox tonight. “I may have exhausted myself when I went rogue,” I hiss, the back of the knee igniting with a burning sensation

“Why are you slowing down?” Maddox frowns, turning back to look at me.

“My leg isn’t exactly as functional as before, I’ve got a little bit of swelling too.”

“Are you fucking serious?” He scolds, his eyes falling, trying to determine which leg it is, but it’s not visible. I made sure Aeliana didn’t see it. “We need to get an X-ray for that and some blood tests. lord knows what it is that you’ve got going on. It can’t be ordinary. It’s more than a little foot pain.”

“You’ve seen my foot,” I tell him, walking past him.

“No, I havent. I would have examined it myself, but you were unsure what it was that had you feeling weak over the last couple

of days.”

I couldn’t let him examine me in the room with Aeliana around the house. That’s why we are headed to the clinic now. Aeliana could have come into the room at any moment. She has already been to our bedroom twice today, and the second time. She brought Noah and took over our bed with their snack platters.

“I don’t want her to find out, she’ll worry.”

“She’s stronger than you give her credit for.”

I don’t doubt how strong Aeliana is.

”

She has handled more than most shewolves can, and some Alphas that I know, but I will not subject her to more. “She’s pregnant,” I remind her. “Our pup isn’t growing fast enough, and while I’m confident in the medication both you and Bridge prescribed, we have our follow-up appointment soon, so I need to make sure she’s not stressed or-”

A scream pierces the air, and I freeze.

“Someone is in my room.” She chokes out, “There.” She says, pointing to the closet with a trembling finger.

“Maddox,” I nod to the closet.”It’s fine, siren. I’m here now.”

“I saw someone,” she hiccups. “went in to fetch my jacket, so I could go to dinner with Noah, but then I

“It’s okay,” I rub my back. “Calm down, he’s looking,” Itell her, watching for Maddox. I hear shuffling of clothes, but when he emerges, he shakes his head.

“There’s no one in here,” he says, staring at Aeliana with concern. “I’ve checked the whole thing.”

Aeliana pulls away from me and shakes her head. “No.”

“Maybe you were scared by a shadow of your clothes,” Maddox says. “It’s pretty dark in there.” He says with a slight smile but does nothing to mask his confusion and concern over her claim.
