Chapter 139: Mother Hen: Part Two

Esme led the way back to the Hub from the tree line. She now had her dishevelled hair back into a ponytail; her long dark brown locks still fell down in waves past her shoulder blades. Esme made sure to wipe away any dirt that was on her face but still took one of Marcus' masks to cover half her face. This time, she would gain entry with it on. Unlike last time, she was not really wearing a disguise, and she still had Ethan to worry about finding out her location. 

Just as she thought about her first mate, her mark started to burn. Which was strange considering it used to cause her pain from slightly touching another man. She'd done a lot more than touch Gabriel, and for a fraction of a second, her heart twisted, and she felt bad for Ethan. He undoubtedly knew she'd slept with another; in the time she had been running from him, the most she'd done was hug another.
