“Nothing……” he sighed, and continued to keep me pressed against his body, I don’t know why, but he had been very clingy over the last two days Suddenly, he got up and walked to his closet.

There are “na going?” I asked, bewildered, looking at him wearing his jeans and a polo.

“The Shaman has called me,” he replied. “There’s an urgent thing that I have to attend to.”

“Can I come with you?” I asked.

“No!” he snapped. “You will not leave this house until I return..

I inhaled his scent of pine and spice. “You think I’m a delicate woman. But I’m not,” I told him, tipping my head up as he leaned over me. “I have endured more than you can imagine, Lucien. Try me.”

His lips lifted on one side. “I know that, love. But unless I mark you, my wolf is going to remain in this overprotective mode. Remus wants to mark you badly, urgently, Controlling him is not rasy. So Earn finding solutions to make it easy for you.”

I nodded and lowered my head. How could I go to Julie’s birthday with every minute thinking about him?

He curled his finger and thumb beneath my chin and said, “Is there something you want to tell me?” It was uncanny how he understood my feelings, even when I dadn’t say a word..

I nodded. Without looking at him, I said, “Julie has invited me for her birthday party to some eatery that is about thirty minutes away from here.”
