Chapter 38 Rocco

• I had been busy in the office all morning, having thankfully managed to avoid both of my parents by an early rising this morning, and grabbing breakfast in the packhouse dining room. The downside to that meant so many pack members decided to see this as an opportunity to make conversation with me, all seeming to want updates on my mate. Especially after many had seen us spending time yesterday. To them, that was a sign of positivity. A sign she was on the mend and that all was good. They wanted an update on their Beta mate...
• In truth, being faced with so many questions and no real answers as of yet was probably harder than it would have been to deal with my parents. Maybe staying at home for breakfast was the better option after all, because right now it hurt not to be able to answer my pack. And to see them so happy and excited about the prospect that my mate was healing… little did they know she had never felt further from me.
• It had not taken long until my mind could take no more and I made my excuses and I picked up my coffee and the toast and fruit upon my plate and headed to my office. I needed my space. I knew I was becoming as isolated as my mate, but I could not bear to be around these people right now. Could not tolerate another interrogation about Aria's well-being, or when she may be returning home to me.
