Jaecar's light green eyes appeared in my line of vision.
I cast him a last pleading look. Willing him to suddenly have a change of heart and let me go.
"Wait for me." He said. Urging, "Quietly."
My lips twitched in contempt as I glared at him. The Hell I will!
"Remember, if you scream, if you struggle, the pack will hear you."
And they'll all want to mate. I knew it without him having to say it. I deflated a little at the thought. And my struggling could make me sweat which would only carry my hormone better in the wind.
Filling this whole tree with my smell. I grimaced.
“I have to go to the Pack Meeting and then I’ll be back for you.”
I’ll figure out a way to escape him by then. I reassured myself. Studying me a minute and seeing that I understood he gave a satisfied nod and turned stiffly.
Thankful for the reprieve, I blew a long breath and my body relaxed. He's gone.
For a while. A niggling little voice corrected.
