Sometimes, I believed humans had it better than we did because they healed slowly.

Scarlett was discharged from the hospital after two days. She took a fucking silver bullet to the heart, but on day two, she was as good as new. There was no sign that she’d even been shot or that she lost a baby.

On paper, she was perfect, but inside, I could tell that she was struggling.

She asked Kai to let her return to the Northern pack. She stood in front of us, arms crossed over her chest, stating that she was fine. Kai stared at her for a full minute and hugged her. Within seconds, she broke down into a sobbing mess.

As a human, you could take bed rest for months. However long it took your body to heal. For us, life moved on. We didn’t have the opportunity to stop and just… heal.

After that incident with Kai, Scarlett stayed locked in her house.

Kai sent Alaric to the Northern pack because Damien wouldn’t leave Scarlett’s side and I didn’t blame him. If there was anyone who understood even a fraction of what she was going through, it was him, and they needed each other, now more than ever.

I lifted a shaky hand to her door and knocked.

A week had passed since everything went down and today was the first day I was visiting her. I came here every day, stood at her door, but never found the courage to knock. I wasn’t sure if I could face her knowing that I was the cause of everything.

Kai assured me that she didn’t feel that way, and even though I wanted to believe him, I couldn’t. That nagging voice in my head said it was my fault. We were both pregnant in that room. I was the one he wanted to kill, I should have been the one to lose the baby, not her.

I stared at the closed door, realizing how stupid it was for me to come here. What could I possibly say to make things better?

I turned to leave when the door opened behind me.

“If you’re going to go, just do it now,” Scarlett said, her voice hollow. “I see you every day, you know? I see your car through the window and I wait for you to come but you never do.”

I said nothing. I didn’t even turn to look at her.

“You can leave now and try again tomorrow. Maybe then you’ll have the bravery to actually look me in the eye,”

I turned slowly, my eyes fixed on the floor.

She was barefooted, and she wore a pair of black sweats so large that they pooled at her feet. I slowly lifted my eyes, taking in the oversized shirt that hung over her shoulder and her messy hair tied into a ponytail. Her eyes were sunken and hollow, but there was no anger in them directed at me. In fact, there was nothing at all.

“I brought a-” I trailed off when she raised a brow.

“Really? You brought me muffins? As what? A ‘sorry you lost your baby’ offering?”

I clamped my lips shut.

This was a dumb fucking idea.

“Perhaps I should go.”

She crossed her arms over her chest. “I didn’t ask you to.”

“Then what are you asking, Scarlett? Because I don’t understand.”

“I’m asking you to fucking be here!” she snapped. “You’re my friend. I’ve been out of the hospital for five days and you haven’t been to see me once. When you finally do come, you bring me a basket of pity muffins.”

“They’re not pity muffins.”

“Then what the fuck are they? Because I don’t understand why the fuck you’d even bring them. Why didn’t you come, Daisy? What could have possibly possessed you to stay away. I was waiting for you every day, hoping you’d walk up the steps and talk to me like a friend does. Instead, you just hide away in your little bubble and-”

“I couldn’t face you, okay!” I yelled, cutting her off. “How could I? What happened to you was horrible and it was my fault.”

“I lost a baby, Daisy, and you somehow make it about yourself? Grow the fuck up. I didn’t jump in front of him because of you. I didn’t do it because I was thinking about saving your life and your child’s. I did it because I could do something.”

She scoffed, running her hands down her face with a sigh.

“I did it because I knew he would turn on someone with that gun. It could have been Damien or Kai and I wanted to help. I wanted to give them the chance they needed to put that bastard in the ground. If I had to do it again, I would, even knowing I was pregnant, so get your head out of your ass. You may be the Queen, but the world doesn’t fucking revolve around you.”

Her words stung, but they were exactly what I needed. It gave me some sort of relief to know that she didn’t blame me, even if she thought of me as an arrogant jackass.

“I’m sorry,” I managed out, once I’d found my voice. “Maybe these are pity muffins, but I’d really like it if you took them.”

She stared at me for a long minute before stepping aside. “Put them in the kitchen with the other pity foods.”

I didn’t know what she meant until I walked into the house.

Every inch of space was covered with flowers and food. There were casseroles and pies, some had even sent whole cakes wishing her a speedy recovery. No one knew the truth about the baby, but they did know that she
