Chapter 196 The Way Home

• Moana
• As the police officer drove us home that night, I felt immense relief wash over me. We made our way out of the dangerous Rogue district and the city began to grow brighter and cleaner as we headed back to the penthouse. The city lights illuminated the inside of the car, and beside me I could see Edrick still cradling the sleeping Ella in his arms.
• Seemingly without thinking much about it, Edrick saw me looking and reached his arm out for me. I hesitated for a moment, still feeling bad about the trouble I had caused, but I finally relented and scooched over to nuzzle down into the crook of his arm. How that I had marked him and my wolf had emerged, his scent overwhelmed me; it was so sweet and tantalizing, and filled me with a profuse feeling of peace.
