THE FOREST 1

I couldn't hide the sudden rush of blood that settled on my face. Leviathan had called me his once again. He had called me his woman.

That should be enough right? His reassurance should be enough right?

Why was I still sad? Why do I wish for something more?

Why do I want him to announce it publicly like tonight? To make everyone know I was his.

I wanted him to be mine as I want to be his. Even if it meant him biting me. I didn't care if we bonded at this moment. I would love to bond with him if that's what being his required.

I was still too jealous to think straight. I wanted every woman in Eastland to know he was mine.

'STEAL HIS UNMARRIED TITLE', Gandhi had said and I'm willing to do just that.

"Nothing's changed. You're mine and mine alone Eleanor." The sound of my name on his lips had me almost rolling my eyes back into my head. It sounded so sensual. Like corruption.
