I could try again.. She said it could still happen… “How many more times…” I knew my voice could barely be heard, but I still asked. Then I regretted my question immediately. How could she possibly answer that question? The memories of his touch flooded my mind, and the idea he would touch me again made my heart race.

Estrella hesitated for a moment. “Well… It depends. But, as many as it takes.”

The past few minutes had been like riding on a roller coaster. I was heartbroken and scared one moment, and was filled with hope the next.

Then… the thought of him bedding me again… I had tried not to think about that night, but found myself more than once late at night wanting to touch myself to the memories he and I had created. I felt torn between the emptiness of not being pregnant and the desire to be with him again. “May I go back to my room?” I had a lot to think about, and one thing for sure was that I couldn‘t give up. I had to remain hopeful that I could fulfill this for him – and for myself. Both Estrella and Talon were quiet for a moment before Estrella nodded. “Of course.”

Sliding from the table, I steadied myself as I waited for Talon.

He held the door open and led me out of the room, back toward the packhouse. He didn‘t say a word, but I knew this wasn‘t the greatest news for him. “Sorry…” I said, keeping my eyes lowered to the floor, unable to look at him. “I‘m sorry that you have to deliver the bad news to the Alpha. I didn‘t mean to be such a burden…” He stopped in front of me, and his voice was calm. “Miss Rosalie, this wasn‘t your fault.” He paused for a moment, then added, “just follow Estrella‘s order and do your best. Please excuse me now — I need to return to the training field.” I looked at him with appreciation in my eyes, nodding my head. As he closed the door of my room, I seemed to hear a very light sigh from him, one that I couldn‘t quite understand.

It was a sigh of relief.

**Talon‘s POV

I stood in front of Rosalie‘s closed door and took a deep breath. A sigh left my lips as I looked up to the ceiling trying to clear my head. Now I had to go see Ethan – and I hated to deliver bad news. Turning from Rosalie‘s room, I made my way down the stairs towards the main floor of the packhouse where his office was. I knew Ethan had had meetings all morning, because I had been within them as well.

I knocked on the door and waited for him to answer,

“Come in.”

His firm voice sounded preoccupied, but as I entered he looked up at me. His expression turned from irritated to inquisitive.copy right hot novel pub
