TROY
It was safe to say I hated it here. Every second felt like I was being choked. And no matter how many times I pulled against my tie, it didn't feel better.
There was a question eating it's way like a fucking worm in my head. Was Ruby ever pregnant? Okay, make the questions a few more. How did she lose the baby if she was? And why didn't she ever tell me about it?
But even then, I managed to keep every question in a box at the back of my mind. The possibility that I could have had a pup years ago sent my wolf spiraling. In rage, in sorrow and much worse.
But we had to keep going. For her, and all that she was here for, we had to stay and I had to endure watching the woman I loved push away her own pain.
If it had been down to me, we would have been half way home by now. Because this conversation was not something that should be buried any longer. It had been for way too long and had to be spoken about.
