“Definitely.”
He scanned around and stepped closer, nodding for me to continue.
“We have to make a quick stop in town first and then go for a stroll in the woods.”
His brows knitted together. “Do I even get to know what you are up to?”
“No, you will only stop me.”
Raking his fingers through his messy hair. “That bad?”
“If it all works, then not. But if it doesn’t,” I paused.
“Then I’m screwed.”
I nodded, biting the inside of my cheek. “Probably.”
“If I say no?”
“I will still do it.”
“Fuck, Joanne.” Shaking his head in defeat. “Okay let’s go, before I change my mind.”

Tell me
AsConnertriedtoget any clue about what I was planning, my nerves slowly crawled higher. I feared Isaac would feel it and come rushing over. And I didn’t want that.
Would it be easier if he helped me? Yes.
Would it be safer if he turned me into a she-wolf? Probably.
Would he do it? No.
All he wanted was to keep me safe, and I loved him for it. Taking all the burdens that pressed on my shoulders, but I wanted to do the same.

“I can wait outside.” Conner’s small mutter pulled my stare.
“No, I want you to come.” Without waiting for him to object, I opened the door. Welcoming the same scent as yesterday.
The fluorescent lights made me squint my eyes, and Conner grabbed my arm, hauling me back. “We are leaving!”
No words left me when he dragged me from the small building. Almost tripping over my own feet, only Conner’s stern grip on my arm held me up.
“What are you doing?” I yelled, fighting against him.
“Did Isaac go with you yesterday?” Fear was etched on his face, his brows knitted together in worry, and I slowly shook my head.
