***GIO***
Even with Gio's enhanced wolf vision, he couldn't see much of the party from where he was positioned across the river, but that was fine.
He had confirmed his mate was in the house earlier when he saw her walk in with Amelia and Madison. That was all he needed to know. At least that's what he tried to tell himself.
Over the past few days, Gio had been making an effort to give her more space. Of course, he would never leave Charlotte completely, that was beyond him. Maybe if he was stronger or more disciplined he could shun the bond, but he was not... could not.
Even the thought of leaving her brought a snarl from his chest.
However, he didn't want his wolf to get any more attached to the gorgeous brunette than he already was.
As long as Gio was stuck in wolf form he couldn't be her mate. It was as simple and as demented as that.
