Chapter 83
Ember
I, in fact, have not processed anything.
Not the healers' verdict.
Not Nate's relentless teasing.
Not the tiny, terrifying possibility that there might be a second heartbeat inside me.
And Kellan…
Kellan is already home.
Which would normally be the best part of my week, my month, my life, each moment with him always is my best.Except right now, it feels like I'm walking around with a live grenade strapped to my uterus.
Things are awkward.
And things are never awkward between us.
Ever.
Kellan and I can fight rogue vampires side by side without missing a breath.We can argue, banter, tease, and ravish each other without hesitation.We can navigate politics, feuds, traditions, and enemy attacks like it's just Tuesday.
But this?
This quiet, loaded air between us?
This is new.
And terrible.
And it's my fault.
