Frozen.
I’m looking into Rayven’s eyes, and I’m frozen. He’s holding me close, afraid I might leave. I’m just afraid to tell him what I know.
I think he can feel that I have something to say, but he doesn’t try to pull it from my mind like before. He’s waiting patiently...just like I did for him.
“Heath…” It’s the first word out of my mouth. “How long has he been gone?” I manage to form the rest, though I’m scared of the answer.
“…Three years now.”
I take a deep breath. I’m not sure I should tell him.
He speaks again. “Griffin said you saw him... the day you went shopping. He was in the diner, but he ran when he saw Senna and Griffin. That’s why I left for so long. I wanted to find my brother. That’s why I wasn’t here for you those first couple of days of your heat.”
The words spill
