Ethan POV
I wake up with my arms wound tightly around Kelly.
Glancing down, I watch my mate as her chest rises and falls in deep breaths. Her gorgeous black locks fanned across the pillow, framing her pale face of perfection.
It's only now that I suddenly remember.
Today is the day.
The day Alpha Veiler arrives.
I try not to shiver at the mere thought. His presence alone will take this pack by storm. I can't imagine how the wolves will react at such a powerful presence in their midst.
I shake the thought away, and ever so carefully untangle my limbs from around my mate.
She may have let me sleep in the same bed as her, but I doubt she would approve of me holding her, even if I didn't do it on purpose.
I can't imagine her reaction if she woke up to me holding her.
Her continuous rejection of me has me in knots. Kelly is constantly reminding me of my wrong doings, and I don't know if she will ever accept me.
