Adea

“My name is Ethan, the Alpha of the Desert Moon pack,” he says like it isn’t a big deal. He’s the Alpha of this pack? Hearing him say Alpha, I automatically think of Shane.

Thinking of him watching us here together like this scares me to my core. Is he watching us? Is he angry? Pulling my hands together, I fold my hands to try and stop the shaking.

Think Adea, think! What do I do? He takes a step towards me and without thinking I take a step back.

“Don’t be afraid of him Adea! He’s ours. The Goddess made him for us,” the voice whines, and I can see her mentally pacing.

I shake my head, “No, we don’t know him. This comfort we feel from him and this pull to him is all the mate bond!” Why can’t she see this? We can’t trust whatever this is.
