My thoughts go right to Sherry Morgan McAllister, she is mated to our Pack beta, Seff McAllister.
Sherry is a White Witch powerful enough to remove memories.
And the thought of her messing with my mate’s mind makes my stomach turn.
“No.”
My voice comes out rough.
“I won't let that happen.”
Rafe studies me.
“What are you asking, Wolf?”
“I am asking for one day.Just give me a day to talk to her, to let her decide.”
He raises an eyebrow.
“Twenty-four hours?And if she refuses, do you know what will happen to you?”
I tighten my hold on Daria—because yes, I do know.
My Wolf is too far gone already.With the mating fever already starting, if Daria rejects me—I’ll likely go feral.
Feral Wolves are a danger to everyone, and it’s the Alpha’s job to keep everyone safe.
So, yeah, I know what he’s saying.
If Daria rejects me, it will fall on Rafe to put me down.Then Sherry will use her craft to wipe my mate’s memories of all of this.Of me.
Inside, my Wolf is losing his mind.But I don’t show it.I can’t.
“Just one day, Alpha.Let me tell her the truth.”
“And if she wants to leave?”
“I'll accept it.”
The words stick in my throat, but I say them anyway.
No.
I won't like it.
But I'll accept it.
“Please, I just...”
My voice cracks.
“I need a chance to convince her.”
Charley reaches over and squeezes Rafe's hand.
The Alpha sighs.
“One day.”
