Chapter 63

Liz POV

Deimos begins to pace the floor. He is running his fingers through his hair in frustration. His eyes are glazed over. I can tell he is debating with himself and probably his wolf. We both know the solution to our problems is for him to mark me, but there is something holding him back. Maybe he is truly concerned that I will make him weak.

I try to stand in his way to stop him from pacing, but he steps around me like I am not even there.

“Deimos,” I whisper his name. “We don’t have to make a decision tonight.”

“But we do,” he says. “My father is expecting you to follow his rules.”

“I want you to mark me because you want to mark me. Not because your father is demanding it,” I tell Deimos.

Deimos stops in front of me and grabs me by the shoulders. “What do I need to do to prove to you that I want you?”

“I don’t know,” I quietly respond.

Pulls me in closely and presses his lips to mine. Electricity pulsates through my body, causing heat to pool in my core.
