NovelAppChapter 0037 Dane She had gone back to her protective state. Barely talking and when she did, it was either 'yes', 'no' or that phrase that I hate, 'I'm fine'. Sne had completely shut down and I can't even figure out what it was that I had said. I had only told her the truth. Was the truth too much for her? In my office, Raven stares at me. "Are you sure you didn't do anything?" she demands. “She was chatting toand now, nothing." "I just spoke the truth. I reminded her that she wanted the deal, that she cto me. I told her that I didn't want anyone else touching her." "Why did you even make the deal if she is already your mate?" "She doesn't know." "You are an idiot!" She snaps as she drops down in the chair. “I don't even know what you could possibly be thinking. Out of all the brides you have had, why do you have to try and push away the one that I actually like? Scratch that, the one who is actually your mate?" "Raven!" I agree with her!' Aero spits "I'm not trying to push her away." I snap "Well you are doing a damn good job!" You don't know why she is upset either!' I remind her, "And you need to watch your tongue." 'I'm talking to you as my brother, not my Alpha!" Raven scowls. "I bet even Aero agrees withthat you are an idiot!" I give her a warning glare to tone it down "She isn't like us." Raven tells me. “She wasn't raised like us. And you seem to be missing the point.' "And what's that?" "She wants ta be wanted. She's not upset. she's scared.” 'I would be able to scent it if sne was that scared." “What if she is in a permanent state of fear? Since before you first met her. What if that is contributing to her strange scent?" "Thank you for your input, Raven. I will figure it out." She rolls her eyes atand leaves the office.

It wouldn't be fair to do that to her while she was asleep. Moving away, Neah suddenly grabs my hand. "Stay." She sleepily whispers, tuggingtowards her.
