Chapter ４７

The nurse exits and locks the door, leaving David and I alone.

The day's tension has strained our once-lustrous link. I know the shift between us won't endure, but the wait is killing me.

"I dunno, Susan.Perhaps it's because you're human," David sighs, rubbing his calloused hands through his hair, leaving my palm chilly despite the raging fire. "Fuck. No idea. My Beta shouldn't detest me." He adds.

David's fresh knowledge echoes in my ears. Human. It's illogical,

To make myself feel better about the rock, I urged David to lay with met mine and his chiseled jaw tensed.
