Rowan kept the facade of a happy relationship with Sloane up perfectly. Every time they were in public, they were openly displaying their affection. He was finding it hard to hold her close and be intimate with her.
His excuse was that the threats at the border were stressing him out and making him less amorous. Sloane pretended to be understanding, but he could hear her break things when he walked away from her room.
Sloane complained about him and Mila, but Rowan pointed out that they had the hottest and most intense moments when Mila first arrived in the pack. Rowan could feel Sloane watching him, waiting for him to prove that Mila was something to him.
Recently, with all the pack attacks at the borders, both Rowan and Josiah had been spending a few more hours everyday training. Basic training started as early as four years old in the pack, but it was optional. Once you were a teenager, there was no choice.
