“Not anymore,” she said.
“But you were?”
“Physically.” She nodded matter-of-factly. “But about Rogue. Do you think he’s broken?”
“Why thehelldidn’t he fuck you?”
“Uh. Reasons.” She let out an anxious laugh. “But I mean… shouldn’t be possible, right? Does he need to see a doctor?”
“To get his head checked—” I cut off, catching the guilty look in her eye. “Whatreasons?”
“Well… I don’t know. He made me open the bond up.”
“Madeyou?”
“Asked real nice while he was purring.” She scowled. “What else was I supposed to do?”
I cocked my head, zeroing in on the little spark of… something… in her eyes as she spoke. As if she wasn’t sad at all about any of it.
“And…?” I prodded.
“He was all up in the bond, being real nosy…” She muttered.
Oh god.
I braced for the twist.
If one more person made me respect Rogue?—
“I think he thought that, like, maybe… I was nervous about the sex more than I was about the pain.”
“Ah.”Fuck.She’d gone through hell, and the heat had been induced. I was left with an uncomfortable question: would I have noticed the same in her? “And…?”
“Well, I think he was right. Just held me instead, let me tell him what I wanted. And then…” Her lip trembled and her next words came out in a rough whisper. “Then he said we could go our whole lives, and I could never want him to fuck me and he’d still…” She trailed off as her voice wobbled. Instead, she lifted Bunny and forced a laugh. “He’d still want to stick around.”
She glanced at me quickly, then back at Bunny.
“Dumb, huh?”
“Fuck.” My head hit the back of my seat.
“What?” she asked, alarmed.
“That was very…” I soured and the word felt as though it were being pried from my mouth. “Principled.”
Her eyes were wide. “Is that, like, adisease?”
I snorted. “Unfortunately not.”
“Okay, but really. I didn’t think it was possible for an Alpha to be there during heat and not… not, you know.”
“No oneneedssex. Not even Alphas.”
She straightened. “Don’t sayno one. Some people do—like Dan and his pack.”
I opened my mouth, then shut it, sensing danger in the angry edge to her voice. We were in risky territory.
I cleared my throat. “Maybe Dan and his pack were the broken ones.”
