Alpha's words.

Bale.

Aiden.

Bale finally left after spending almost the entire day with me. It felt as though we were a married couple and had lived all our daily lives together. As though our entire lives revolved around one another.

When he left, I felt all alone and empty yet again, running my palms down my arms in the large space.

I cocked my head to look at the empty bed we had shared the previous night, suddenly regretting my proposal to him. The one about loving him in secret. Yeah, I suddenly regret that.

Suddenly, the urge to lock him up and have him all to myself surged through my veins.

That's right, I had it that bad for him.

All throughout the night we were buried in each other's arms, tied in the warmth of our embrace, no one wanting to let go.
