CHAPTER FIFTY – Your New Home

Madeline’s POV

I groaned as I turned my head to my right. Every part of my body hurt.

What the hell happened to me? Was it the pregnancy? I had no idea that your body could feel like you’d been hit by a train. I had no idea that your head could hurt like someone stabbed a knife into your temples. Would I have to go through 6 months of that?

“Hello, my little bird,” someone said softly.

The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. I could have sworn that I had heard it before, but I had no idea where.

I was probably dreaming.

I gulped and felt around for Dimitri. I wanted to press myself closer to him. The pain would be gone as soon as I was in his arms.

I couldn’t find him, though. Did he get up already?

“I am here, little bird,” the voice said and I felt a large hand cover mine.

I didn’t feel tingles. I didn’t feel sparks. I knew Dimitri’s hand and this wasn’t it. Whose hand was that? Where was I?

My heart raced a little.

The hand squeezed mine gently and I felt someone’s fingers on my forehead.

“Open those beautiful eyes, little bird,” the voice said quietly. “I missed them so much.”

A strange feeling in my stomach made me listen to him. I wanted to know who he was. I wanted to know where Dimitri was.

I opened my eyes slowly and the first thing I saw was his small smile.

“Hello, Madeline,” he said, caressing my cheek. “How are you feeling?”

I furrowed my brows a little. I knew this man. Where did I know him from?

And then it dawned on me…

“Kade,” I mumbled, my voice hoarse.

He smiled brightly and leaned in to kiss my forehead.

“Hello, my beautiful mate,” he said. “I am so happy that you recognized me. We haven’t seen each other in a while.”

Mate?

He looked back down at me and I glanced behind his shoulder. I was in a strange room. This wasn’t my room in my packhouse.

“Where am I?” I asked quietly as I looked back at him.

He sighed and smiled. “You are home, Madeline. You are finally home.”

Home? That wasn’t my home.

I felt tears burning the corners of my eyes. Dimitri wasn’t here, was he? This man took me from him, didn’t he?

“Do you remember what happened before you woke up here?” he asked as he caressed my cheek again. “I think that my mom gave you too much wolfsbane.”

I wanted to move from him, but I couldn’t feel my body. I could only feel my heart beating faster and faster as seconds went by.
