Unnoticed marks

Only after Samantha finished eating, her ears twitching happily for the whole time, Rider remembered what he was doing there.

He wanted to find her and ask her about marking him. When she had cancelled their date, he had thought she was avoiding him for that reason: she didn't want to explain her motives!

Yet, after a whole night by her side, he knew she didn't do it on purpose. Moreover, she didn't know what she had done. During her trance, when she had just followed her instincts, she had marked him with her scent. And then, after falling asleep in his arms, she had forgotten.

But... if she didn't fear explanations, what was the reason for avoiding him? Just the fact they were from different packs?

He sighed, displeased.

«You really don't know...» he muttered, seeing how she licked her fingers when she was done.

«Know what?» she inquired, finally moving her eyes on him.
