Aurora had to breath deeply to calm herself down.
“You are doing it again,” she said and tilted her head, putting a little distance between them. There was a hint of accusation in her voice.
“Doing what?”
“Treating me like an innocent little girl and trying to fool me with sweet talks.” Aurora struggled out of his arms and said, “You taking a bullet for me…That’s total crap.”
“Why?” Damien stepped aside and blocked her way of leaving, “You don’t think I can do it?”
“Well yeah, I don’t think so. You are the Alpha…and it makes no sense for you to put your own safety at risk to protect me, another pack’s Gamma—”
“Who says an Alpha can’t protect his loved one?” Damien asked.
Words froze on Aurora’s lips.
She was stunned. Shocked by Damien’s “loved one.”
…What did he mean by that?
