As badly as I felt blocking out Lyric, I enjoyed every minute with my mate. I was tempted, many times, to take her. I don’t trust myself to do that. I know the minute I’m that vulnerable with her, Arric will take over and mark Jayla. I can’t do that to her until I get my s**t sorted out. Lyric will continue to use me, and I won’t let Jayla experience that pain.
I run into Luna Dionne in the kitchen. She takes a deep breath and smiles at me. “I was going to ask if you’d seen my daughter, but your scent answers that question for me.” I can’t help the smile that graces my face. Luna Dionne reaches out and strokes my cheek. “I love when you smile; it really suits you. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you so happy.”
“She makes me really happy.”
“Then mark her and make her yours.”
