“How long until we reach the den?”
“Not long, female.”
“I have a name,” I grumbled.
“You haven’t given it to me.”
“You haven’t asked.”
That was a fair point. But considering he had bitten me and abducted me—after Serae abducted me first—I wasn’t sure it was valid.
“If you were a female wolf, instinct would’ve driven you to tell me. And to claim me in return, as soon as my frenzy’s magic brushed your skin. I’m uncertain what to do in our situation.”
His answer sounded honest, at least.
“So if I were a wolf, I would’ve bitten you as soon as you bit me?”
“And physically claimed me as well.”
My face flushed.
Sex.
He was talking about sex.
His glow crept over my arms, making me warmer.
“That’s ridiculous,” I said.
“It’s nature. Nature cares little for human ideals.”
“Well, I’m human. I care about my own damn ideals.” I shook my head, and the glow started to fade.
“How do your people pursue each other?”
Other than what I’d read in books and movies, I didn’t really know how to explain it or what to explain. I had never seriously dated anyone, so it wasn’t like I had experience with it.
“Slowly,” I finally said. “They become friends, and spend time together as they fall in love. Then they mesh their lives together, sort of. And then, if they choose to, they make vows to stay together permanently.”
“Veil, that’s a nightmare,”Ivaylo muttered into my mind.
I scoffed at him. “Because being hunted by a wolf and then bitten by one is romantic?”
“Not romantic. Natural.”He turned his head and brushed my shoulder with his nose, making me shiver. The barely-there glow on my skin rippled, warming me again.
“Damn you,” I grumbled.
“You fight the effects of my frenzy for now, but eventually, you will give into it.”He turned his head back.“We’ll reach our den soon.”
“Yourden,” I corrected.
“Ours.”
I heaved a sigh, but stopped arguing.
It wasn’t doing me any good, after all.
