I closed the door on Sloan and pressed my back against it, slumping to the floor. It was true that I needed time and space from him, but it didn’t make it any less painful leaving. I could feel his guilt through the mate bond the same way I knew he was feeling my pain. Fighting the urge to jerk the door open to yell for him to stop, I listened as his footsteps faded down the hallway.
I waited until I was certain he would be in his office to slip from the room to the Alpha quarters. I needed to check on Jamie. I had left him alone to come to terms with his status as my mate the night before, but I needed to see him. I found him seated at the island counter with Sookie stacking pancakes on a plate in front of him.
“Good morning.” I called, forcing a fake smile
