"I need to tell Faolán." She announced and Hannibal didn't understand at first, but then he knew what she was talking about.
"With all due respect, but you should have said something before he marked you."
"I know!" Alanna threw up her hands in desperation. "I know, doctor. But I couldn't control myself anymore. I… ended up letting him mark me."
"I understand. It's hard to resist urges when you're with your mate." Hannibal spoke.
Alanna looked at the doctor and saw that he looked sad, but she didn't comment.
"What happens if he doesn't want me anymore?" She asked.
"Now that you're linked, he can't reject you like he used to. He can just walk away, but that will cause both suffering and misery."
