Tabitha
What did fifteen years do to a person?
It probably wasn’t the question that should have been on her mind, but
that’s currently what she was having a nervous breakdown about, as she
stood on the rough wooden porch of her mate’s home. Ex-mate. It was
never made clan official with an un-mating ceremony, but his leaving in the
middle of the night and never coming back was a pretty big red flag that he
wasn’t relationship material.
Hah freaking hah.
God, she was so nervous her palms were soaking wet. She forced herself to
bring her hand up. Make a fist. Knock gently on the door. Shifters had good
hearing. She didn’t have to beat it down.
She held her breath and shoved her hands deeper into the folds of her
threadbare thrifted woolen coat. At least it was vintage, it had the aura of
once looking respectable in another era. She knew what she must look like.
A decade and a half older, marked by a life which hadn’t been kind.
Okay, maybe she was being hard on her herself. Anyone else would say she
looked great for forty-three. She’d had enough customers at the bar—her
night and weekend second job—tell her that she was gorgeous, but those
were also the same guys who wanted to slip a hand up her skirt, pinch her
butt, or fall into bed with her. Probably all three, and maybe not in that
order.
The sound of footsteps made her burrow her face down into the scarf and
breathe lightly through her nose to keep the sudden flow of tears at bay.
This was possibly the worst decision she’d ever made in her life.
She was only glad that she’d thought to park her car down the street, where
it was within her line of sight, but barely, so that Corbin couldn’t overhear
what was being said.
He knew his dad knew nothing about him, but just because he wasn’t a
deadbeat asshole didn’t make up for his not being there. Corbin knew that
she’d tried everything she could to find Roan. Her brother and parents had
tried too. Half the clan fucking tried. Alas, no dice.
The lady at the diner on main street had given her Roan’s address, but it
was still half a shock to see him open the door. She shrank back
immediately. If she was very well aware that she was no longer the young
twenty-something woman that he’d mated—his best friend’s little sister—
she was also incredibly aware that fifteen years looked good on this man
who still physically looked very much the same as she remembered.
His jaw dropped and his already frosty blue eyes turned to ice. The look he
gave her told her she was the last person he’d expected to see on his
doorstep.
“Tabitha.” His voice had changed, at least. It was deeper. A little raspier.
Smoke and sex.
