from
the confession that tumbled from Daniel’s mouth. “Damn it, Aaron. I
was bringing him here then I changed my mind. I–I was going to …
hide him,” I confess.
    Aaron is
too clever to try and lie to. He’ll want to know how I got away
alive and unscathed from a being so much more powerful.
    The truth
is my only option.
    “ Jesus fucking Christ. Are you out of your mind? Do you have
any idea what’ll happen to you if Sy finds out? Let alone our
Alpha.”
    “ I don’t know what I’m doing.” I drag my hands through my
hair. “I couldn’t think straight around him. It’s so strange but
he’s different.”
    “ I know you’re sympathetic toward them but to even consider
betraying the Pack like this is insane.” He exhales. “But you’re
here. You came home. That’s what’s important. Your father is in the
back concluding the bonding ceremony. We can go and get this sorted
as soon as he’s finished.”
    And my
life will remain the same.
    Sy will
keep hounding me to mate him. One day I’ll break and give in. I’ll
be trapped. Forever. This stifling existence will consume me until
I’m nothing more than a robot like the older females of the Pack,
women who used to be strong, but are worn out by the never-ending
dominance from their mates.
    The scene
plays out in my mind; Daddy’s reaction. Disbelief. Anger then
acceptance, which would turn to cold-hearted purpose. He and his
wolves would strip, shift and tear out into the hunting grounds to
hunt down Vampire who dared to breach the Lycan borders. They’d
pick up on my scent and realise how intimately it mingles with his.
Lord save us all if they sniff around and discover the spot Daniel
pinned me, and smell my arousal. They’d track him down. If the sun
has risen they’d dig until….
    “ This is wrong,” I whisper. “I can’t. I won’t do this when I
know what he means to my wolf.”
    Aaron
frowns. “What are you talking about, Harmony?”
    “ The idea of Daddy and the Enforcers surrounding Daniel makes
me sick.”
    “ I know. They’ll be fine, I promise. He’ll send enough to take
the Vampire down. Hopefully, the sun will have risen before they
find him and the sun will do most of the work.”
    Aaron
turns decisively, and I catch the sleeve of his shirt.
    “ Wait. I can’t.” Can’t he read the pain in my eyes? “I don’t
want him hurt. I shouldn’t have come back. I have to
go.”
    Aaron
stares at me until it clicks. His nostrils flare and be begins
sniffing me. He grabs my arms and runs his nose down my neck. He
bristles when he comes to the spot Daniel licked, and continues
down my chest, following Daniel’s scent to all the places touched.
When he reaches the spot between my legs I remember. The scent of
Daniel is all over me.
    Pushing
at his head, I twist myself away.
    Aaron is left crouched, growling. His eyes glow. “Tell me my
nose is wrong. Tell me– Shit.” He stands. “Shit, shit, shit .” He locks his arms
behind his head and paces. “What were you doing out there anyway?
You were supposed to be getting ready?”
    “ I needed some space.”
    “ I covered for you. When I found you gone, I told our Alpha
you were in your room sulking.”
    “ I was in my
room.” I scratch my head guiltily. “At first. I didn’t plan this, I
swear.” I wrap my arms around myself, holding the mess in. “I found
him there and things just happened.”
    “ You’re giving off the mating scent. Did you know
that?”
    I nod
nervously. “It wasn’t my decision. She’s chosen him.”
    Aaron splays his fingers out and exhales slowly. “Listen to
me, very carefully. You can ignore the potential if you choose. So
can the.…” He chokes on the word Vampire. “So can it . The connection goes
both ways.” He rubs his chest. “You have to fight this Harmony,
because if you accept the wolf’s compulsion that’s it. You’ll find
it harder and harder not to see him as your true mate. There’s no
coming back from that.”
