Chapter 46

I finally tried getting up but was pulled back down by Rowan's arms, which were still tight around my upper body. He saw that I was trying to get up and let go of me, getting up himself. We both rubbed our eyes vigorously, leaving them even more red and puffy than they already were. "What I just told you is exactly why I was upset when I came in here." I felt bad because I Rowan probably thought he was to blame as to why I felt the way I did, so I decided to tell him what he asked when I walked into the room.

"I told Bennett that I couldn't have anything to do with him because of the danger and overwhelming responsibility that surrounds him." It took him a second to register what I had just told him, but when he did, I could clearly tell he wasn't all for that idea judging by the frown that found home on his lips.
