9 Andre needed to let Em walk out of this room. Right now. They were standing close. Any closer and it would be an embrace. That was what his wolf wanted. No. Demanded. He wanted to kiss her. He wanted to leave his mark on her so that anyone who saw her knew that she was his. He wanted to claim her. He was going insane. Em breathed heavily, and he could see the argument swirling in her eyes. Did she really think he wouldn't stay with her until this thing was resolved? Did she really think he could be gotten rid of so easily? He couldn't walk away. And now he felt a bit of sympathy for Owen. He hadn't understood what his friend went through when he took the job protecting Stasia. If it was anything like this it was no wonder… No. Andre wouldn't think like that. This wasn't the same.
