MARK
I sat there quietly, listening to Adira explain the conversation with her father. I bit my tongue, waiting for her to finish how he just showed up and saved her from Haley, and then told her that there was some magic council that wanted her dead. My blood boiled hearing this. I knew Ginger said there was a greater darkness Adira would have to face, but I wanted to live in ignorance for as long as possible and enjoy my time with her before anything came along.
Our relationship was still so new. I barely had time to fully appreciate having a mate, and now there was another threat that wanted to take her away from me. At least Haley was no longer a threat, but I felt like we couldn’t catch a break. There was one thing after another that stopped us from truly enjoying our life together.
