章 63: Ch 63: Please, stay the night - Part 2

'What did Rita mean by all that she said? I feel I should talk to her and find out what she knows. But at the same time, I don't want to head out and ask her….and it's not because I feel comfortable enough to fall asleep right now.'

Anabella tried to make that excuse in her mind, but her body betrayed her as it sank deeper into the mattress.

She wanted to blame her instincts and how her body relaxed when it sensed her friends' alpha pheromones. But Anabella knew the problem was not her friends but her body and instincts.

'This is bullshit! I should not be feeling like this, yet I cannot stop! What the hell is wrong with me? Please don't react and leak any pheromones. I have a kid with me.'

James's underdeveloped alpha scent was the only reason Anabella maintained any semblance of mental awareness. Otherwise, she was afraid that the combined pheromonal scent of Clair and Noah would make her body go into heat.
