Books Chapter76
Name
Silence can fill a space, its tension wrapping around everyone like a humid summer day, oppressive and smothering as you breathe in the air. It’s how I feel sitting in the back of the vehicle with Dallas’s family. I don’t think they like the company they are bringing back to
their home.
Kennedy had fought to her last breath not wanting to come, kicking and screaming, until that Silverback male uttered just one word into her car…stop
She hasn’t said one word since. Maybe she’s resigned to her fate.
I get an unobstructed view of the side of her face when she watches the land pass by in a blur from the window. I’m directly behind her.
Watching her shell just breathe
Her fading highlighted hair looks somewhat dry and limp, her curls not as bouncy. Her face is blemish–free, and even without the
Illusion of makeup she still is beautiful High cheekbones, thick full mouth, long black lashes that curl naturally. Her clothes are all rumpled up, they don’t smell too fresh. I’m not even sure if they are her own clothes by the way they fit her.
Sometimes her head angles to the side so her eye glares at me before looking out the window again. I know she can feel me staring at her. I can’t look away, so just stare at the back of her head.
Cash doesn’t say a word to me. His head is turned away in his own little purgatory. He pretends to focus his concentration on what’s
outside the car window, but I betall he can think about are what truth she’s lear pretends to focus his concentration on what’s
I want to scream in his face, to keep putting that effort in, don’t quit now,
big guy. Show me what strength you have inside to fight for what’s yours. Instead, I just let the silence hang outside my mouth, not saying a word.
I can see some of Cash’s brothers looking at him in pity. He doesn’t deserve this. I can see sharp teeth lift ever so slightly toward Kennedy, Can she feel all those teeth around her from every direction?
When we stop to eat, I’m placed right beside Luna Grace on her lett. Cash is on his father’s left, so that means I had to sit directly across from Kennedy. She keeps her eyes diverted the whole time. I don’t think she really wants to eat, but that body of hers is just beginning with its ultimate betrayal.
Her beat makes it impossible not to eat as it starts to prepare itself for future. She eats everything on her plate and finishes off Cash’s food as well.
He didn’t feed her from his hand, but he did offer her what was left over. Her heat will be in full swing soon, her body packing away the extra calories that are needed to nurture and sustain a future life.
The Luna looks at Kennedy’s empty plates with a knowing look.
“Are you still hungry, Kennedy?” Her words are spoken without violence this time.
“Yes,” she answers truthfully. Is this the first truth she has told these wolves?
She looks at all the plates on the table still having some food on them. It’s the Alpha who breaks his sandwich in half, handing it to Cash, only for him to put it on her plate. The rest of the brothers follow, their posture not comfortable with what they are doing, but they follow their father’s example.
The Luna puts some of her meal on her plate as well. I’m the only one who hasn’t contributed. I’m holding in my hand what I was saving for last.
It’s the first thing I smelled when I entered this restaurant, fresh handmade rolls. Whoever made it added raisins and walnuts while kneading the dough. Sugar sprinkles the top with a small dusting of cinnamon.
No one is looking at me, but they’re all watching in their own way. I take a deep breath. I have to imagine this as feeding the potential life she might host inside herself and not really feeding her. With one more smell of the roll, I place it on her plate. My jaw clenches tight as I look at my own empty plate.
I’m still hungry, except I have no future my body is preparing for.
Chapter76
Cash’s eyes lift to mine in surprise before he gets up, wallding away from the table and out the door, letting it close gently behind him.
Kennedy begins to eat everything else that’s on her plate, the hormones of her heat driving her to consume as much as possible.
She doesn’t say a word of thanks; she just eats what’s offered to her.
Luna Grace has a smile on her face, watching her devour the food in greed.
“I remember my heats. I couldn’t get enough food or you in me.” She turns sultry eyes to her male. Her sons start to pretend to gag at the table, looking uncomfortable, while Alpha Clinton grabs her hand in his big mitts. He brings her fingertips to his smiling mouth, kissing them
n and
“We’re right here, sitting right here.” Carson wipes his napkin over his mouth, spitting the last of his food in it before getting up joining Cash outside. The rest of her males just shake their heads at them.
