"I got distracted and wandered off." I explain, forcing myself to calm my heart. "I went into its territory I guess, and disturbed its hunting. It was just defense but it didn't kill me; it could've if it wanted to."
"Doesn't change the fact that it hurt you." Aiden says coldly. His eyes didn't light up with a fiery gaze like they usually did when he was mad. In fact, they were just cold.
