18. Fury
RAFAEL's POV:
I was enraged when I learned my mate was fleeing from me.
She was clearly aware that I was her mate, and she was fleeing from me.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized she didn't want me, which is why she was rushing away from me.
I didn't get to see her face, and something inside me was begging me to go grab her.
She didn't even look back twice, as I predicted, and just kept sprinting away from me.
I wanted to run after her, but my boundary had been crossed. I had to stop here, or else I would be trespassing on werewolf territory, which would result in a war between two vicious creatures. Because I was the one who had crossed the line, I had to give up because that is what the rules state.
"No... No, I can justify myself if I am caught, but only if I get caught in the first place," I whispered to myself before resuming my pursuit of her.
