I rinse off the final plate and hand it to him, not waiting for a reply. My chest feels tight. I walk away, back to the bedroom with heavy steps and heavier thoughts. The towel I’d left folded earlier was still on the bed. I grab it, intending to take a shower, to wash away the swirling storm inside my head.
I am nearly at the bathroom door when I hear his footsteps behind me. Then he is in front of me, cutting off my path.
“Move,” I say without looking at him.
I can’t even begin to look at him, not when my emotions are still raw and I feel like crying my eyes out. Not when I want to lash out and strike at him.
He doesn't.
“Alec, I’m serious.”
“So am I.”
My fingers curl into fists. “If you don’t move willingly, I’ll make you move, and you won't like it when I do.”
“Do what you need to do, Sadie,” he says quietly, “but I’m not moving until you let me explain.”
I move to push past him, but he catches me—gently—and pulls me against him, wrapping his arms around me from behind. Caging me.
“Do you know why I never brought Lola here?” he asks softly near my ear.
Is he serious right now?
I scoff. “You didn’t get the chance. Calvin ruined your perfect little plan before you could execute it.”
He exhales, the breath shaky. “I had this place built the moment I found out she was my supposed mate. I should have brought her here the minute it was finished. I could have. But I didn’t.”
What the actual fuck?
I still. “But that was months before everything went to hell.”
“I know,” he whispers. “I had plenty of chances. But every time I thought about bringing her here, something stopped me. I thought maybe I wanted to wait until we were officially mated, until I marked her. But the truth is… it didn’t feel right.”
I turned slowly in his arms, my eyes searching his face.
