Adrian’s POV

Her eyes were filled with a sad emotion.

I don’t know why she is refusing to fully open up to me.

We were going somewhere when she started telling me how afraid she is of me and how hurt she was by my harsh words the first time we met. But somewhere along the way, she shut down on me all of a sudden.

Maybe I shouldn’t have told her that she was starting to take a special place in my heart? It was still very early for that, I probably scared her off. Great, Adrian! You ruined things before they even started! I chastised myself.

My wolf Lennox speaks in a hard tone “Remember when she said just now ‘I’m not going to feel anything for him or anyone else’, does that include us as well?”

That stopped me short, I didn’t catch that meaning until Lennox just pointed it out to me.

“Because you’re going to leave at the end of the month?” I asked her tightly.

“Yes” she said in a hard tone.

“Why won’t you give this a real chance? I’m trying here, why won’t you?” I ask in frustration.
