Liam This town isn’t safe for Alana, not with our history of attacks, and certainly not after this new attack in the woods. Of this I was sure, but I also couldn’t stand being any farther away from her than I already was. If she went back to New York, I know I’d follow her. I never wanted a mate, I never wanted to be some love sick puppy but with Alana, it was impossible not to be. Mark her. My wolf was begging inside of me, but was she ready to take that next step? Most days it seemed like she hardly even liked me, even if things had been getting better lately. So instead of up in bed with my beautiful mate, I was being a total creep and hanging out in the hotel lobby. This way if anything happened, I would be nearby and could react quickly, and she didn’t even have to know about it.
