The Only Exception Ch. 07

... his last. But if he keeps isolating himself the way he is she'll realize it's because he's already attached! Then his secret will be blown or she'll accuse him of being abandoned by a potential mate and that will start a whole new set of problems for him. He'll be miserable if that happens and he might... I just.. look, I can't let that happen. I can't let him get to that dark place again. So," he sighed in defeat, "I'm willing to lie and say he's at my place if you make time for him tonight. Spend all night with him and all the next morning at the very least. Please. He needs you," Gabe nearly begged.

"Of course he can see me! I had no idea he was struggling so much! I didn't know he needed.. he never said it was important. He said he was tired and that it didn't matter. That we'd get together another time. So, I just thought.. I.. fuck I don't know. I'm so sorry," I murmured worriedly as I thought through my conversations with Benny.

I realized then just how many times he'd slyly asked to see me and how I'd always shot him down. I hadn't meant to do that. His wolf must be frantic for me. Fuck. What the hell had I done to him?! Sure, I was completely overwhelmed and exhausted from learning the ins and outs of taking over for my mother as well as helping her settle legal affairs but I didn't feel like that was a good enough excuse.

Gabe replied looking beyond aggravated over having to defend me but then his expression changed and he was suddenly furious again. "Hey! Don't you dare hurt him this time human! He was in pain for ages after the the last time you guys were together and he only just started feeling back to normal. I don't know how rough you were with him, he won't say, but you should know, he heals abnormally slow. He said you didn't know, so now you do, and you can't use ignorance as an excuse to push him too far anymore! Got that? Because if I know my brother, well, he'll never say no to you and he will never tell you how badly he's been affected after the fact. Especially if he can avoid talking about it because you two haven't seen each other in almost two weeks."

"What you do mean he heal's slow?" I asked in complete shock. Surely I hadn't hurt him that badly? I wanted him dependent yes but not for over a week! Perhaps I had been operating under the assumption that werewolves healed quickly but I didn't know any different. I expected his predicament to last two to three days at most. My boyfriend had never said otherwise, even in the early days at the dungeon when he had to fill out his medical form, he never mentioned that he healed slow. Was that the real reason he waited so long between visits? He didn't ...
