Eve~
When she pulled away, I was still frozen in place.
Then her expression fell. "Oh, I am sorry if you don't want to be touched."
I just stared at her, my mouth agape. Then I shook my head, my hands in front of me. "No, no, it's not that at all," I denied, still shaken by her attitude. "It's just that..."
"That what?" she asked, her brows raised in genuine confusion.
I opened my mouth to complete the sentence but thought better of it and put on a shaky smile. "No worries." I felt a lump in my throat nonetheless. Her attitude toward me had completely caught me off guard.
It was far too early into the alliance for Lycans and Werewolves to tolerate each other, not to mention being friendly enough to hug. I was flabbergasted.
"Hey," she waved her hand in my face. "I think I lost you there."
I was snapped out of my thoughts, and my gaze settled again.
