"Why did you do that?" I yelled at him.

I got on my feet and away from him as soon as his arms disentangled from my waist. At first, everything around me felt like it was moving in circles.

Layton’s lips had my blood on them. When he noticed I looked at his lips, he licked them and gave me a sheepish look.

"I want you at the pack meeting today. I couldn’t take you if you didn’t have my claim. I needed to do it."

He was acting like if his attack was normal. I felt angry at him, but most of all, the pain wouldn’t go away. If anything, it kept getting worse.

I rinsed the bite with warm water and pressed some paper towels over it. I had to be careful because even the smallest contact made my skin burn.
