章 45: Death Leap

KANE'S POV:

My mate is going to drive me insane. At this rate, I'm convinced she's trying to kill me—not just emotionally, but physically. This is the second time I've had to watch her throw herself into near-death situations, and it hasn't even been a week since she became mine. I swear she's aging me by the second, and my wolf, Ash, isn't helping. He's just as volatile and possessive, a dangerous cocktail of fury and desperation when it comes to her. 

And yeah, okay, I'm a jerk. I'm a bastard. Call me whatever names you want—I deserve every single one of them. I royally messed up by letting Ashley anywhere near me, and the fact that I didn't actually cheat doesn't change the fact that I crossed a line. Technically, it's not infidelity, but emotionally? Yeah, it's cheating.
