Adeline’s POV
“What are you doing?” I asked Mark as he held my wrist, but Mark wasn’t looking at me as he stared at Zale. There was caution in his eyes that I couldn’t place.
“Something’s off,” Mark said. “Can’t you tell? Don’t go near him yet, just—”
The minute Mark said those words, a low growl emitted from Zale and he stared at the two of us. Or rather more accurately, he stared at where Mark had a hold on me. Sh*t, I thought it was just me who could sense something was off because of the bond. But how much power was Zale emitting if Mark could sense it too?
Quickly I shrugged my arm out of Mark’s grasp and spoke lowly to him. “You should go,” I told him. “It’s okay. He won’t hurt me.”
