Kapitel 8: Chapter 8: Red Hibiscus

Arisara

“Anurak! Run now! I’ll fend them off!” I tried mind-linking him, but my words fell on deaf ears. He was born to two of the fiercest shifters in all of Siam, yet he had no wolf traits in his DNA. Damn*t, this wasn’t a fair fight.

I hadn’t trained in a while, but my true mate...still weird saying that...was in danger, and I wouldn’t let my husband have the satisfaction of seeing his adversary die before him. If he wanted someone’s head, it was going to have to be mine.

Why wasn’t he moving?! Instead of running, Anurak looked like a plant in the middle of photosynthesis: unbothered and statuesque. Where was the urgency?!

“I’m not leaving you to fight them alone,” the words were resilient as they slid out from Anurak’s tongue. Even in the face of death, he wouldn’t abandon me, which made me wonder, why I was still important to him after all the agony my family caused him. Could he sense our mate-bond even as a human?
