ALPHA CORVIN
One thought kept echoing relentlessly in my mind.
I don't want to lose her.
Going to her room and finding it empty had made me realize something I had been fighting desperately against for weeks.
I didn't want to let her go.
My life had been filled with so much loss over the years that I had learned to shield myself from feeling anything real, building walls so high that nothing could penetrate them.
But despite all of that carefully constructed armor, going to her room tonight and finding it empty had made me realize how much I wanted to have her here with me. How much I actually wanted her, period.
And if that meant agreeing to have sex with her despite kicking against it from the very beginning, despite all my logical reasons for keeping distance and maintaining control, then so be it.
I couldn't allow her to leave this pack. Especially not now, with her pressed against me in my arms like this, her body fitting perfectly against mine like she was made for me.
