Do you really blame him? Our apartment smells awful.
Me
I’ve been forcing myself to ignore the stench for months
Tori
Thank him for me. Or punch him ;P
My lips curved in a smile.
Me
Will do
Frustration aside, I was glad for the help. And really glad to be moving somewhere nicer.
So, I piled everything I owned into the bottom half of the box, then dragged it out of the room.
“Ready for another one?” Madd asked me, without glancing over his shoulder. He was going through the last cabinet already, and had his box half-filled.
“No, I’ve got everything packed.”
“In one box?”
“Yep. I live the high life, as you can tell.” I gestured to the smelly, unattractive apartment around us.
He dropped the last pan in the box, walking over to peer down at my belongings. His chest immediately rumbled unhappily. “Tell me you’re joking.”
I grabbed the tape gun off the countertop. “I’m joking.”
“I’m going tokillthe vampires you escaped from.”
My stomach clenched in response to his words. “You’re not going to do anything to them. We don’t want them near us.”
“That’s not your call.”
“The government will kill me if they find out what I am. If we’re bonded, that means you’ll die too. That makes it my call.”
“You’re my mate. It’s my right to pursue revenge against those who’ve wronged you. You didn’t ask to be made what you are, and no one will punish you for it. I’ll make sure of that.”
I gave him a bitter smile. “Have you ever been a blood wolf?”
“Of course not.”
“Then you have no idea what people will do to us.”
“Have you ever met an ancient werewolf alpha with connections all over the world, Love?”
Madd caught me off guard with the question. “Not until now, I guess.”
“Exactly. Everyone in every werewolf community knows who I am. If someone comes after me, they come after all of us. You’re my mate—hunting you is hunting me. Everyone in our society will fight for you, because you’re mine.”
“Why would I want a mate who doesn’t respect what I want?” I countered, dodging his point entirely.
He blinked.
