BLATANT THREATS
ZAREK'S POV
I couldn't take the image of Lykaina's bare body before me out of my head. She was so beautiful, so perfect. She stood there before me, offering herself up to me like a sacrifice, and I, like an idiotic fool made her feel bad for showing the feelings that the mate bond was pulling up in her.
I could feel her hurt like a living thing inside me. I don't know if she
will want to spend even a second with me.
I have had intimate encounters with her, trying to help her with her heat but that was for a purpose. What she was offering this time was different. She was beginning to want a relationship with me and I can't afford to endanger her life just to satisfy the burning urge within me to claim her for myself.
I growled and my claws left deep marks on the wall
