92. Too proud to as for a hug.

 Arielle momentarily looked away while biting her lips nervously, she didn't know if she should tell him what she was feeling. It wasn't the first time it was happening, sometimes she would just feel a detached part of her soul in anguish but when she ask Orion if he was unhappy, he would tell her no. It had become a circle.

 Yet again, she took the leap of faith, "are you sad, Hung-Ki? She asked.

 Orion's forced smile quaked, he clenched his jaws in a way she wouldn't notice. "Yes, I was a little sad, "he lied. 

 He felt like if he didn't she would figure that it wasn't his emotions she was feeling. He used his fox charm to block her mate senses so she wouldn't feel Brian's mate pull. 

 He thought it worked until she started asking him weird questions like if he was sad or need someone to talk to. He had to accept it this time otherwise she would figure it out.
