COHEN
I stood in the shadows of the hallway as my warriors gathered and got ready to leave, but I wasn't paying attention to them.
I watched Ellie as she carried a big bowl of popcorn into one of the living rooms and sat on the couch, placing the bowl between her and Sarah.
They started talking and laughing and I hated it.
I didn't like the way Ellie's features lit up for someone else. I didn't like that she was bonding with another person.
I wanted her all to myself.
I let loose a growl and stormed off down the hallway, heading for Lance and the waiting SUV.
I didn’t want to like Ellie, damnit. I didn't want to feel this overwhelming need to be near her. I didn't want this possessive obsession coursing through my veins.
But the mating call was strong, Ellie was amazing, and I was weak.
"Ready?" Lance asked as I neared him.
I nodded and climbed into the passenger seat without a word.
