Bab 35: Danger up ahead

Ronan sensed her sly approach immediately, a smirk forming on his lips. His gaze shifted to the side, anticipating her attack, but he pretended to be engrossed in securing the backpacks on the white horse's saddle.

When the she-wolf drew closer as stealthily as possible, Ronan pivoted on his heels and swept her up, picking her up from the waist in one swift move. She gasped in surprise, her hands flying to rest on his shoulders.

"Thought I wouldn't hear you?" Ronan teased, a sly and satisfactory grin plastered on his expression while his eyes flashed an amber glow. "You shouldn't sneak up on a Lycan, little wolf."
