Chapter 52 Her Alpha Mate 52

Chance:

I dropped to the floor beside her and pulled her hands away from her mouth. "Why Betty? What happened?" I asked hoarsely.

She shook her head as a sob escaped her.

I bent down and wrapped my arms around her, trying to comfort her as best I could.

But part of me felt like this was my fault.

That she'd done this because of me.

I swallowed hard and hugged her trembling form tighter to me, "B-betty, if I did this to you-"

She pulled back and stared at me in shock, her cheeks wet with tears, "No, Chance! No."

I expected her to say more, but she stood up, flushed the toilet, and began washing her hands and rinsing her mouth.

I watched her patiently, and when she finished, she sat back against the cabinets again.

She seemed hesitant to say anything, so I decided to wait patiently until she felt comfortable.

"I..." she cleared her throat, "I haven't forced myself to throw up in four years."

"Then what's changed? Why today?" I asked quietly.
