ODETTE'S POV:
Under his touch he broke me.
If I followed what he said, and I let the bond in. If I gave in, would what he said really be true? Or would I just be stupid to think that's the case? Stupid to believe him?
What if he was just using me like everyone else? Wanted something from me?
I was scared of the feeling inside me; I was scared of what I felt for him.
But maybe it was time I faced those fears.
What about my family? Would they forgive me for falling in love with the enemy? With the family that kidnapped and assaulted my mother?
Would the shifters accept me? As the daughter of the man who slaughtered their people?
Everything was so messed up right now.
When he let me down from his embrace, my body craved more of him. Like it couldn't get enough of the feel of his touch, the need in his movement.
After the shower he handed me a towel. To cover with and then, to my surprise he wrapped my long white hair in a towel and twisted it on top of my head.
