บท 42: An Emergency

Selma Payne's POV:

"Of course, it's true!" Aldrich touched my forehead like a child. "Nothing is more important than you, my dear. Even if my father told me to go home and inherit the title, as long as you don't want to, I would never leave you."

Alright! Praise the Moon Goddess. Did she make every he-wolf this adorable when she created them?

But...

"Forget it; I was just joking." I shook my head and suppressed my reluctance. "This is your responsibility. I can't be willful and drag you down."

Aldrich wanted to say something, but I interrupted him, "Alright, alright, don't make it look like a life and death parting. It's only three days. I'm not so weak that I can't even look away from you."

I lied because I really didn't want to leave Aldrich for a second.
