Killian
She immediately wraps her arms around me, dropping her forehead against my shoulder. If my brothers weren’t watching, I would actually enjoy this. The first time I got to hold my mate so close.
“There is a potion to mask your scent in that water. I put it in everything I drink. When I let you go, I need you to run.” I squeeze her once to emphasize what I’m saying. “Don’t turn around. Just run. As fast as you can. Got it?”
After a second-long pause, I feel her nod. And a breath I didn’t even know I was holding leaves me. “OK,” I mutter, raising my head and dropping a kiss on the crown of hers. Just to be believable, of course.
I squeeze her one more time and turn us around slightly so that the only ‘exit’ apart from where my brothers lay in wait is right in front of her. Thank
