Ethan’s Pov

I can’t believe I did that. I know what she’s been through but I couldn’t help myself. A howl fills the sky. Excuses. How different is what I did from what he did to her? What is the difference between him and I?

I’ve shifted and I’m running through the hills through the territory still close to the packhouse. A run was desperately needed to clear my thoughts.

“The difference is she is ours,” Elijah reassures me.

“He thought of her as his too!” I growl in response. “We took what we wanted from her as he did to her that night and Goddess knows on what other accounts.”

The earth bends beneath me as I thunder across the lands like lightning strikes through the sky. Wind pushes past me as I press forward.

I shudder when I think of that night and what I saw out there in the gardens.

“Mate wanted it just as much as we wanted it. She would have told us no,” Elijah argues.
