A run between friends

Esme left in a rush with Marcus after Gabriel's threat. She found it both chilling and adorable at the same time. Her protective mate was exactly who she needed by her side. 

Esme still had the freedom to come and go as she pleased in the penthouse, like the rogue she is, and not being imprisoned like her previous mate. There was no comparison, but with two marks on her skin to two different mates, she couldn't help but think about Ethan and the things he'd done and how loving Gabriel already was towards her.
