Richard's pov.
It's the facts. She needs to remember my wolf and the monster within me. He couldn't be restrained under her last heating it won't be any different this round. She must submit. I refuse to damn right hurt her. It would tear me apart. It would eat at me like a fungus...like all these years. I've been mentally tortured with things that might have happened. We will not be making the same mistakes. It all makes me furious...I'll have to mark her if she doesn't come to me before she's full-blown in her heating...I don't want to rush her but it will be the only way to suppress the beast...I can't help I was born a monster.
Winter's pov.
I return home plop down on the sofa. He's so flippin right. He's been nothing but gentle his touch...his kiss...his demeanor around us all...ma
