When I left Shawn's side, leaving Dietrich's room, I met Lena in the hallway. She had been waiting for me.
"I wanted to give you your privacy. I didn't want to intrude." That both made me happy and broke my heart.
"You're my mate, you could never intrude." I pulled her into my arms and hugged her tight. "I am sorry for losing my composure."
"I understand. I would be just as worried if it were one of my brothers. I can't imagine how you're feeling. You have a bond like no other. You're twins, you shared a womb, you were born together, you were each other's first and best friends. I would be more concerned if you weren't this upset."
"Thank you, Lena." I squeezed her tighter, letting her know that I was grateful for her.
"Come on, Shane, let's go home." She had said that earlier too. Did she want me to go back to her place or did she want to come back to mine?
"OK." I agreed nonetheless.
