Chapter 14 Let's Go

• Had I not been a wolf, I wouldn’t have heard her. I heard her loud and clear, and I didn’t have to ask who she was talking about. I was stuck between wanting to see him and wanting to take her far away from him. Why was he here? She wasn’t even of age yet. Why now? We were supposed to have time, she still had time. The bastard was being selfish, this was too quick and I wanted to rip him apart. The thought of him claiming her before her time made my blood boil. Over my cold, dead body would he take her.
• As if sending my inner turmoil, Adea stopped. She turned toward me and for the first time tonight, I saw the real fear in her eyes. Why hadn’t I heard it when she called me? Why hadn’t I been able to hear how scared she was? It wasn’t just worry, it was fear. I was such a dumbass. I had been too focused on making her jealous or angry. I had wanted her to say something,to demand that I stay away from everyone except her.
• I had wanted her to claim me but I’d been stupid, too focused on myself and not on her. Hadn’t I already been hers? Hadn’t I always been hers? Since the first time I saw her two years ago, I had been hers. I didn’t need her confirmation, I didn’t need her to say she wanted me, I was hers. Mitch had told me I was stupid, that I was too young to know what this meant. He told me I didn’t know what I was doing or what I was feeling but I did know.
