"Don’t" His voice was a growl though she didn’t seemed threatened by him
Rachel shook her head at hi to end up killing each other I won’t let your own pride andinto a y You have your friends, your closest confidants,to die for and even with them you can’t control your possessiveness When one of those ets too close to your mate, how on earth do you think you will be able to keep fro his throat out?"
Jen’s hand flew to her asp "Bloody hell," she whispered through her hand She hadn’t considered the other packs She had been hoping that with each day, the ain Shefor world peace and all that other crap that the Miss A The tension between theworse Decebel was possessive on a good day, but now that she was pregnant and he had just endured the very worst depths of hell She didn’t even know if possessive was an adequate terot back to thethis to themselves?" Jacque asked, before Jen could and she nodded at her best friend for taking the words out of her shocked mouth
Rachel met the eyes of eachthat I would not normally do because I don’t like to invade someone’s privacy, not even my mates, but I’m worried"
Gavril stiffened next to his mate and his eyes narrowed as he looked down at her
"What did you do Rachel?" His voice was not unkind, but brokered no argument that she was to answer him
"I searched inside of you" Rachel hurried on before Gavril could respond "We have been h ether, and in all that time, you have never draay froets unbearable for you not to You only use the bond when absolutely necessary You constantly keep your body betweenme more like a possession than the other half of your soul!" Rachel’s voice had risen to a near yell as she released the pain that had been building over the distance her ht to your darkness, or have you forgotten that little detail of our et that? When you are hurting, I’m the one who can comfort you When you are joyous, I aing and the wolf fights to take control, I am the one who can cal you e ht Your need to protectave the darkness a place to seep through back inside of you and instead of welco our bond as you once did you nurture the darkness You caress IT as a lover INSTEAD OF ME!"

"The worst part," Rachel tried to hold back the sob that pushed out with the words, "the worst part is that you knohat you’re doing, yet you don’t stop it"
Alina stepped forward as the anger in Rachel, which had been so an to subside and the hurt began to take over Alina’s face was stoic and the distance between her and Vasile shadowed the usual compassion that shined in her eyes She took a deep breath before she spoke and the voice that caure out what it is that has been causing the distrust and suffocating grasp of ourwhat Rachel has seen inside of her mates mind, inside of his soul, I know that she speaks the truth My wolf echoes loudly the truth of her words But, reement on hoe should feel about this revelation" Alina’s eyes narrowed as she honed in on Vasile "Had you not been aware of as going on inside of you, had you not knowingly been keeping me from you, I could have understood I could have empathized" Her voice never wavered as her words filled the hush that had fallen over the forest; a hush that none of them seemed to notice "As it is, you have decided for me what I can handle and what I cannot You made the decision to keep a part of you fro a decision for you," she paused as she watched Vasile’s fearto say She said it out loud anyway "You have denied me what I so desperately need and so I will deny you Eye for and eye, yes? I don’t do this to be mean, childish, or vindictive; I do this because it is time for desperate measures I have no idea how to tear down the wall you have so diligently and fervently built between us So, I will no longer use hu back to the nature that comes so naturally to us--to the nature of the wolf The wolf doesn’t understand e your wolf so he can understand Your touch is uninvited"
