He entered the SUV and went to a nearby hotel to lodge. He couldn't sleep. He tried but everytime he closed his eyes, he kept seeing her face, the pain in her eyes, the way her hands trembled even as she pushed him away.By morning, he showed up at her building just after dawn. He leaned against his car with a steaming paper cup of coffee in one hand and a small brown bag in the other. He glanced around and saw the street sweepers moving along, and the smell of fresh bread from the bakery down the block.He didn't go to her block. He stood outside, waiting for her. He didn't want to knock on her door this early morning. Not yet. He knew if he pushed too soon, she'd only slam it in his face again. After a few minutes, he walked towards the entrance of the building and sat on the steps of her apartment building with the bag at his side. He waited as long as it took. An hour passed. Then two. He ignored the curious looks from neighbors and ignored the ache in his back from sitting on t

Samantha stretched her arms above her head. She sighed as she glanced at the clock on the wall. Finally lunchtime. She has been drowning in paperwork all morning and her eyes were burning from the screen. All she wanted was a quiet corner of a café down the street where she could breath without thinking about anything.She rose from her desk and gathered her phone and purse. Just as her hand reached for the doorknob, she heard a soft knock on the door. “Come in,” she muttered distractly, glancing down at her purse and placing her phone in the purse.The door opened and she froze. “Cain?” she murmured slowly. He stepped into the office, tall, broad-shouldered with his eyes fixed on her. He was wearing a dark t-shirt rolled at the sleeves, with a neatly wrapped box in his hand. Her eyes widened as she glanced at him. “What the hell are you doing here?” He closed the door gently behind him. “Bringing you lunch,” he said calmly but his eyes… they were digging inside her soul. “I'm sure

The next day, some minutes to 5:00 pm, Samantha stepped out of the cab. She adjusted her blazer, feeling the stiffness in her shoulders from hours at the office. She glanced at the sky and saw the dark cloud were gathered.“Not today again,” she mumbled to herself. “Just need to grab groceries then I’m done for the night.” She walked toward the small corner store she always visited. She clutched her bag on her shoulders as she stepped inside the store.“Long day again, Miss Sam?” The store keeper asked as she picked up a basket. “You could say that,” she replied with a tired smile, tossing a carton of milk, some bread and vegetables. “But tomorrow’s another day.”After she was done, she walked to the pay stand and then tucked the groceries in a bag. She left the store and began walking down the narrow lane toward her apartment. She glanced back as if someone was following her. She cursed under her breath, “Cain, I'm not up for this today. Please leave me alone,” She glanced back aga

He carried her grocery bags in one hand and the other hand rested on her lower back. Her shoulder slumped as she walked. “You’re limping,” has said quietly. She shook her head stubbornly. “I'm fine.”“You’re not.” He muttered, glaring at her. She kept her gaze forward and avoided his face. She felt the warmth of his palm on her lower back, steadying her and guiding her. She hated how much she loved every touch.When they reached her apartment, he shifted the grocery bags to his other hand and pulled the door open for her. “Keys?” he asked softly, glaring at her.She fumbled in her purse, pulling out the keys and handing them over. He slid the right one into the lock and opened the door. They entered and he set the grocery bag down on the kitchen counter. Her apartment was small but cozy. He glanced around and Samantha offered, “You can sit down,” she said quietly, gesturing to the couch. “I'll… I'll make us some coffee.” He nodded and settled onto the couch.His gaze followed her as

The morning sun slipped softly through the window blinds landing across Samantha’s face. She stirred, blinked against the light and sat up. For a moment, she was disoriented, until she remembered the events of last night. Her cheeks blushed and her lips curled into a small smile.She remembered his hands on her body, working over her sore muscles, the way his voice had softened when he told her to rest. She touched her knee, testing it carefully. She noticed the swelling on her knee had gone down, just a dull ache now. Much better than she'd expected.She glanced around the living room. The blanket he had tucked over her was still draped across her. The blanket was still carrying his faint scent, Cedar and cinnamon. But Cain was gone.She felt her chest tightened as she inhaled the scent. Her wolf stirred happily, recognizing the scent. He slipped away from her house before she could thank him properly. She reached for her phone on the coffee table and paused a little before she type
