Lucas.
The moment I stepped out of Cassie’s room, my heart sank into my stomach. For a moment, I had actually thought our bond was blossoming, but instead I was a fool to think I was anything more than a quick lay for her. Mate or not, she was adamant to keep me away at every turn.
So of course, I showed her how much of an asshole I could be.
It wasn’t hard to hear her scream once I left her room. I had stayed for a moment trying to decide if I wanted to go back in and apologize. Goddess knows every part of me wanted too, but my Lycan… he wasn’t pleased.
She doesn’t deserve our mark…
The dark, stormy whispers within my mind were loud, and as hard as I tried to shrug them off, they had gotten louder since I came to this realm. I needed something, anything to quiet them, and as much as I wanted to sleep, I didn’t see it happening anytime soon.
