Chapter 20

• My confusion escalated to anger as my mood soured. Resentment built in my chest and I flopped face-first into bed. What the hell was wrong with this man? If he didn’t want me, he could reject me!
• Ignoring the way my heart skipped a beat and my wolf whimpered at the thought of another rejection, I repeatedly punched the mattress to vent my frustration. Why did he make me feel so pathetic?
• When my anger turned to tears and my hand ached from punching the mattress, I got out of bed with a feeling of emptiness spreading inside me. I pulled on my clothes like a person without any reason to live. I kept thinking, ‘What do I do now?’ If he did not want me, he’d have rejected me by now but I was his curse breaker and I also had his child in my belly. Was that why he was keeping me around? I needed to hear his reason as doubt ate at me so I decided to find him.
