Adea

I stared at him with a mix of shock and awe.

Did I get butterflies every time he called me His Queen?

Yes.

Ethan didn’t say it often, and when he did I melted inside.

Was I going to let it soften me right this minute?

No.

“I understand you feel that way but this makes me feel weak like I can’t take care of myself. I may have just started training but you saw me. You know I can hold my own,” I said. Ethan searched by face before he let out a deep exhale.

“A pack nearby had a surprise attack in the middle of the night. They were targeting his Luna and got close enough to have two men on her,” he said, he tried and failed to keep the anger from his voice.

I couldn’t breathe.
