Chapter 108

• And I will kill anyone who dares come between us," Edward's voice is strangely soft when he says this and he just continues to leaves kisses along the edges of my lips, but there is no doubt that he is speaking the truth. A shiver spreads down my spine and I pull at the strands of his hair to pull him back. He growls in annoyance and bares his teeth, much like a wolf would, but strangely it doesn't scare me.
• I study his electric eyes. I've gotten to know his wolf well over the past few weeks, but this is a part of him that I don't recognize. My body is begging for me to give in and surrender to our bond, but I know that I have to clear up a few things before we go any further. I don't know how much time I have before I am thrust back into deep water and all rational thought leaves me.
• "Why did you tell Carlisle that you would compel me to leave?" I ask, the hurt rising in my chest, but I try to stay calm. Edward studies me for a moment before closing his eyes, when he opens them, emerald human eyes stare back at me.
