"No, that's not why. I diske my head. I know you'd curvive anything that's thrown at you. I just didn't want you to go through then. Ter done enough"

She stares at the ceiling for a long pause. She weed to make me resus as my chosen, but our bond has only served in make my feelings for her worse. I don't know if I can hold back how rich I need for her to be closer. A lot closer. "I think we should start over," she sits up so she can be closer to the "I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around you and you are too. I heard what you said to Or,

"I told you, you weren't enough then because it was the truth."

""But it isn't now?"

"Not entirely. We didn't know this was going to happen. You said it yourself. It's fucking crazy that it did. You also said that technically, Pernicious Phurry is dead. I'm no longer feral or a wolf. What was said and done has to die with her, "I can't forget,"

"That's not what I said," she laughs. "I don't want to forget either Pretending it didn't happen is how repeating history that doesn't need to be repeated happens," she takes my hand. "We're kind of stuck together. Right now, you're just the King to me. The same way I'm just the little wolf that cheap shotted you across the face a few weeks ago.

"I can't exactly explain to you who I am because I'm not sure what that even means. Mack said something that really got to me when we left. She called me an idiot for letting you mark me without thinking about it. That Darren had me on a leash and that now you hold it. "What really fucked me up was when she said that we're the problem and that it will always be that way," she wipes tears from her eyes and looks up at me. "I don't want to be a problem anymore. All I do is hurt people. Now I feel like I look as ugly as I am on the inside on the outside,"

Her words leave me speechless. I stare at her not knowing what to say because if we're being honest. I'm not that great a person either. But the conviction in her statement is admirable. I don't think I've ever heard anyone I know admit that there is something wrong with them or that they're in anyway the reason why their world is crumbling around them. How strange is it that the wolf who spent her last days making those she believed took everything from her pay believe that she had been the problem all along? How can she say she's ugly when a work of art doesn't even begin to describe her?

"You're not ugly in the slightest, Little Wolf. Not even the day I had you cleaned up," I reach out taking a strand of her dark graying hair. "If this is how you want to move forward, I'll give you that. However, it has to stay with us. I've been at court a couple of times and cut throat Perry is the ideal person to be dealing with that bat shit insanity,"

We both laugh.

"Do you like this?" she asks after a while. She stands up trying to pull her shirt down only for it to bounce back up exposing her little belly button. "I'm a fucking giant,"

"You're just slightly taller," I laugh.

"If it were a slight difference, I wouldn't have to cut off my PJs when I want out of them," she tugs at her shirt. "I'd also be able

"This bond is fucking me up, Jonas," she whispers leaning into me.

She rests her head on my chest and wraps her arms around me. I run my fingers through her hair letting her scent surround me. I don't know when she's going to take off again and it feels like I'm going to be waking up to an empty bed soon.

"Me roo," I admit because I'd lost the thought of having a mate long before she came along. "I'm sorry."

"Why do you keep apologizing to me?" she looks up to meet my stare. I cup her face and lean in to press my lips to hers.

"You're not the only person with a false idea of what's in front off them. Perry. I'm hanging on by a thread here. Being with me is not going to be easy. My instincts scream at me to lock you away from everyone and everything that might be dangerous to you. And right now, that's you,"
