Fatal Call (New Breed Novels Book 4) (16 page)

She couldn’t seem to catch her breath. No matter how many times she inhaled, it was as if the air never reached her lungs.

Troy lifted his hand and slowly she felt herself begin to calm.

“Was it a dream?”

“No, not a dream, my male. Do you remember what happened after James was shot? We were in the bathroom after we had broken your connection to him and I had that odd sensation, like a strand of time had broken? I had it again just now in my sleep.”

“Jesus. What do you think it means?”

“I think there has been some kind of event. Something has changed destiny. But I didn’t see it. I don’t have any idea what it could be.”

“I’m sure with time you’ll figure out how all the pieces fit. You always do, babe.” He kissed her cheek and pulled the duvet up over them.

“I hope so.”

Whatever this was, it was big.

James sat with Pax by the medical ward while they waited for the male’s test results. Pax had finally stopped pacing and was busying himself by tracing James’s mark with his finger. It didn’t really matter to James who had given what to whom. He just wanted the results to be whatever would be easiest for Pax to handle. Whichever that was. Watching the male suffer like this without being able to do anything to comfort him was unbearable. But he knew taking the test was only the first step in what would probably be a long period of healing for Pax.

wasn’t the only one who needed time to figure shit out. He’d started having mood swings since he’d first started seeing Pax. He was sure they had to do with Seth and not Pax, but the fluctuations were starting to take on a pattern. When he was with the male, he was happier than he could ever remember being in his life. But once he was alone, the dark secrets in his mind seemed to come out of the shadows and all he could do was think about what he had done.

Helen poked her head out into the hall. “You two can come in whenever you’re ready.”

James turned around and looked into the brother’s dark browns. “Are you ready?”

“Not even close.”

He took Pax’s hand and together they walked into the ward, letting the door swing closed behind them.
