EuropeNovelI knew very little of Spencer's life before I arrived at the pack; he's kind of a closed book despite our close friendship. But I have heard that his grandmother basically raised him after his parents passed away. He was only a young boy at the time, and whatever happened, it shaped who he was as a person.
Deciding to change the subject, I said, "Well, I guess I'll be the judge of your cooking, and I'll let you know if it's good enough to snag a lady." He grinned, the tension between us seeming to loosen.
I watched as he cooked; I sat at the island counter, watching how serious he was when he cut the ingredients on the cutting board.
"We should head back to the pack tomorrow," I tell him, breaking the silence that started to consus. "I don't want to be away too long. I just needed sspace from everything." I fully plan on resolving things with Gavin; I was hurt by what he had said toearlier, but at the end of the day, I knew in my heart what I had to do. It was going to be hard, though, because I didn't want to say goodbye to the friends I've made in this pack.
My wolf whimpered inside of me, being away from Gavin was tough on her, and I felt bad. There was also a lingering unease deep within her... or maybe it was deep within me? I couldn't quite tell where this unease was coming from, but it was itching forto return to the pack. I realized I didn't have my beeper or gamma phone on me, and suddenly, I was feeling a bit detached from the others. I knew that they wouldn't callfor anything now that Sampson knew of my pregnancy, but I'd at least still feel like part of the team, and I'd be able to read the group texts as they cthrough.

"I needed space from everyone. I appreciate you for sharing your special place with me." He nodded, his face unreadable as he continued to cook.
"Of course," he said, a forced smile on his lips.
Why was he givinga forced smile suddenly? Had I said something to upset him? By the the finished cooking, the entire kitchen smelled incredible. My mouth was watering as he passed a plate of food in my direction. He grabbed himself a plate as well and sat beside me.
"I hope it tastes okay," he said, a little shyly, which I found kind of adorable.
"It smells delicious," I tell him reassuringly as I scoop up sof the risotto and bring it to my lips.
I wrapped my lips around the spoon, closing my eyes as the taste exploded in my mouth. I couldn't help the moan that escaped my lips completely unaware that Spencer was watchingwith wide eyes.
"This is divine," I tell him, going for another spoonful. I wiggled in my seat, a little happy dance from this incredible food that my mouth was being gifted with.
I don't miss the small blush that decorates Spencer's nose and cheeks.
"I'm glad you like it," he said softly, his eyes never leaving my mouth as my lips wrapped around the spoon again.
"Aren't you going to eat?" I asked, once I realized his food remained untouched, and he seemed almost frozen in place as he watchedeat.
He blinked a few times, and it looked as if I had just slapped him. He cleared his throat and glanced at his place.
"Yeah," he murmured, spooning sof the food and bringing it to his mouth. We continued to eat in silence, and the longer the silence stretched, the more anxiety I started to feel. Once we were done, Spencer grabbed both plates and started to clean.

"Thanks, Spencer," I tell him sincerely. "I honestly appreciate it."
I turned at that moment and started towards the guest room my e mind rattling and
my belly full. I put my hands on my stomach, feeling a warmth spread out from my fingertips.
And then a pending dread fell over me... a feeling I couldn't quite explain.
But as I walked into the guest room, the only thought I could think was, "Am I really willing to walk away from my baby's father?"
