“I think I liked you more when you barely spoke.”
Pam pressed a kiss to the tips of her fingers and blew it toward him. “I love you too.”
He glared at her. “Holy shit, I’m going to be a dad.”
“First, you’re going to have to go to Lisa. It won’t be long before she figures out she is pregnant, and then she is going tohave to make a decision,” Pam said.
“What decision?”
“If she tells you or not, or if she even sticks around.”
“What if she doesn’t want it?” Shadow asked.
“Can you blame her?” Pam asked.
Shadow didn’t know what he would do if Lisa decided she didn’t want to keep his child. The very thought of it felt like a giant punched him in the gut. It was not a thought he liked.
“Come on, don’t worry about it,” Pam said. “I know Lisa, you know Lisa, and if anything, this kid will probably make you completely jealous because, you know, she loves it way more than she will ever love you.”
“Thank you,” Shadow said.
“Anytime.”
Chapter Five
Lisa felt a little tired today. She had been able to eat herself out of house and home, and now she had to go shopping. She was starving, and seeing as she hadn’t eaten, she felt so tired. It had been a long time since she felt this achy and tired.
She should have gone grocery shopping last night, but after work her feet had hurt, and all she wanted to do was curl up on the sofa and spend the night not thinking about Shadow. Why did he have to be so damn perfect and such an asshole at the same time? Life was not fair.
“Are you okay?” Adele asked, not for the first time.
“I’m good. I’m totally good.” She tried to stifle a yawn.
“Okay, that’s good.” Adele put a hand on her arm, and she smiled.
Even smiling zapped her of energy.
Lunchtime would be happening soon, and then everything would be okay. They had a lull about thirty minutes before, and she left Adele behind the counter and tried to wake herself up by gathering used cups and saucers. They had a few little sweet treats and savory snacks for people to enjoy.
They were not the best bakery, as that was just down the street. Lisa knew if the other woman decided to do coffee as well, this shop was done for. Not that she saw the boss much anymore.
The coffee shop was owned by one of the Alphas, Lisa didn’t know which one, as she had been interviewed by one of the pack members.
She gathered up the cups, and as she stood, she felt herself get a little lightheaded. For a second, she stopped, closed her eyes, and tried to gain focus. The door to the shop opened, she lifted her eyelids, and there was Shadow.
The man still drove her crazy, and he was such an asshole.That dizziness took over, and she didn’t have much time to react, until she felt like she was floating. There was a wave of sickness, and she was pretty sure someone screamed her name.
Lisa expected to hit the floor, and to feel it hurt. Only the floor never came, and then she had to wonder if she’d been struck by a sudden bolt of lightning, because the scent was amazing. Woodsy and masculine, a scent that had often made her feel much better.
“Lisa, come back to me,” Shadow said.
That voice. His voice, filled with concern, and not the horrible nasty jibes and smugness she had heard talking to a bunch of wolves. This was the voice she had come to love … the man she’d come to love.
“Is she okay? She’s been acting strange all day,” Adele said.
There was no way she was in Heaven. As she opened her eyes, she saw Adele standing over her, as well as Pam, and then there was Shadow, only she was in his arms. She tried to scramble out of them, but Shadow was much stronger than her, so he allowed her up and let her go when he was good and ready. She knew he did that, but she didn’t say anything.
“What the hell happened?” Adele asked.
