Author's note: this is from Luca's point of view
---
I stood in front of the window of my bedroom and stared into the forest that stretched beyond the garden. This sight usually had a calming effect, but now it was not working because Ash will be here today.
I checked the time. He was probably on the plane already. With every passing moment, my dejection grew.
Yes, I know, this is Ash's home also, but the idea of him being anywhere close to Zoe was driving me mad.
She is MINE!
I was always protective of her, but since we mated, my possessiveness went into overdrive. I feel like ripping into shreds any man that looks at her. How will I avoid bloodshed when Fynn and his group visit?
And Ash was at the top of my list of undesirable people.
'Relax. Zoe is ours', my wolf, Shadow, spoke into my mind.
