Chapter 35

• Callan POV
• Today was worse than yesterday. Now I had finally found where that scent was coming from, and seen the face of the angelic voice I had heard, I was finding it even harder to concentrate. All I could picture was Ayla’s round and plump breast dripping with sweat and picture myself getting lost in her skin. I imagine her lips pressing against mine, and I keep replaying the way it sounded when she said my name, it was so sexy the way it sounded rolling off her tongue, so alluring and sexual. Usually, I struggle to leave the office or the work site. I let myself get lost in my work, but today, right now, I'm ecstatic to be leaving. Because I know when I return home, she will be there, I will get to see her sweet face and hear her euphoric voice. Today the minutes have painfully dragged by, and the unbelievable urge to be with Ayla has consumed my thoughts completely. The thought of catching a glimpse of her has my wolf eagerly pacing in my mind. He’s equally desperate to get back home. But I need to forget about Ayla. I must if I want to keep her safe. Having Ayla as my mate will only put her in danger, and with the enemies Alister has made for the pack, I know that she will be safer without me, but the thought of her without me feels like someone is digging around my heart with a blunt knife.
• “I’m going for a run, you want to come?” I asked Micha and Eric as we drove home.
