QUESTIONS WITHOUT ANSWERS

Meanwhile, as Derek was gearing up for a confrontation with the strange werewolf, Aiden was in his office, restless and quite sad, not in the mood for a morning quiz at all.

But still, he hadn't been pleased with her conclusion.

Rather, he had felt stupid and guilty.

"Did she hate my touch that bad…?" He asked himself, as he reclined more deeply into the armchair in his office.
