9. Just the Two of Us.

‘He could be our chosen,’ Hudson said, and I shut that thought down right away.

My wolf was delusional if he thought I would put Airk in that position. Chosen mates were rare, and he wasn’t even eighteen. Once he met his mate, he would be forced to reject him so he could be with me, and I couldn’t do that to Airk. Rejecting something was like denying a piece of yourself, and people described the feeling of rejecting it as dying. And if Airk ended up choosing his mate over me, I'd be left heartbroken. Besides, we were just having fun, right?

‘No, you’re not just having fun, idiot.’ Hudson growled.

Then I should end it before it gets out of control.

But I didn’t end it. Once he kissed me, I knew I couldn’t stay away from him, even if I tried. I made a stupid contract, trying to protect my feelings and those of Airk. Of course I was scared of Airk’s family, but that wasn’t the reason why I was keeping us a secret. It was because I didn’t want my pack to see me
