I moved on autopilot.

Despite Damien and Scarlett telling me that everything would be fine, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had thoroughly messed up my relationship with Kai.

I told them I was fine, but neither of them believed me. It was why Damien stood in the middle of the living room, watching me through the kitchen door while I busied myself with making a cup of tea.

It wasn’t until after I started mixing it that I realized it was the same stupid jasmine tea that landed me in the mess I was currently in. I sighed, prepared to dump it down the drain when I heard the front door open.

I assumed it was Scarlett at first, but when I saw Damien straighten, I immediately realized who it was.

“You kept a secret from me,” Kai said simply to his best friend.

I felt bad for lying to Kai, but most of all, I felt bad that I’d put Damien in this position. If I knew it would end this way, I would have never asked him to be involved. It was never my intention to drive a wedge between their friendship.

“I know,” Damien responded in the same monotone. “I was helping out a friend.”

Kai snorted. “Where is she?”

“Do you want to talk to him?” Damien asked directly down the mind link.

“I think he’s asking as a formality. He can probably smell me already.”

“That doesn’t answer my question.”

“What are you going to do? Stop him from coming in?”

“If need be,” he said simply.

I was shocked by his protectiveness. I knew he’d always look out for me, but I always assumed he did it as a favor to Kai, I never expected that he’d offer to stand up to Kai on my behalf.

I couldn’t keep the emotion out of my voice as I spoke. “Thank you, Damien.”

“Anytime. If he bothers you, just call.”

He broke off the mind link and turned his attention back to Kai who laughed humorlessly.

“I don’t know whether to be impressed or offended that you have to ask her for permission before telling me

where she is.”

Damien shrugged. “I needed to make sure that she’d be alright.”

“I would never hurt my mate,” Kai hissed, offense leaking from his tone.

“I know, but a few weeks ago, I would have never imagined you walking out of the house after finding out that your mate was pregnant.” He crossed his arms over his chest. “She hid it from you, and I get that, but I’m on her side with this one.”

Kai didn’t respond.

“She’s in the kitchen,” Damien said finally before walking away.

I didn’t hear the front door open, so I knew he hadn’t left, but I didn’t get to think about that for long because I heard footsteps approaching. I turned to face the sink, staring at the flowers through the window right above it.

I felt Kai’s presence as he walked into the kitchen. His aura took up space, and within seconds, he’d taken control of the entire room. My stomach twisted in knots, and my heart pounded in my chest.

He’d come back, and I knew that meant he’d calmed enough to speak to me, but I wasn’t sure what that meant for us.

“Hydrangeas,” he said suddenly and I couldn’t help but turn to him.

“What?”

“The purple flowers closest to the window, that’s what they’re called.”

He didn’t look much different from when he left the house earlier, but his shoulders sagged, and his hands were shoved into his pockets as he leaned against the counter.

Silence stretched thin between us but there was something off about it. It took me a moment to realize that it was because the silence was awkward.

Kai and I didn’t do awkward. We could be having the worst days and have nothing to say, but we would always feel comfortable in each other’s presence. I’d never felt on edge with him before, never felt like I had to put on a performance.

“I’m sorry,” I began slowly. “I should never have hidden it from you. You deserved to know what was going on and I realize that.”

I exhaled deeply before continuing.

“You’re right that I don’t look out for myself as much as I do others, and I don’t know how to change that. I’m not used to being looked after and sometimes it can feel smothering. The truth is I’m scared. I’m terrified that I’ll be a terrible mum and I was thinking that maybe if I could help those kids then it would give me some good karma and I’d learn to be a good mother.”

It sounded stupid now that I said it out loud, but it was exactly how I felt. I hadn’t realized it until after Kai left this morning and I was forced to sit down and think about the entire situation.

I opened my mouth to continue speaking, but the words wouldn’t come out. Instead, what left me was a small sob. I slammed my hand over my mouth quickly.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to get emotional. I don’t want you to think I’m trying to emotionally man-”
