We paused at the donners, Adrian’s body tensed beneath my arms at we both to studied us.

“Before you leave.” Leon said, his voler emotionless and clinical, “There’s one more thing we need to discus. He gestured toward Dr Kindley, Dorse – would you exin to them the physical implications of our situation?
Dr. Kingsley cleared his throat ufortably. “When werewolves establish a mate bond, their physical and emotional states be intertwined. If one mute engages in… intimate rtions with another patty, the betrayed male experiences significant plonical pain.”
Heat nished to my face as I realized what Leon <b>was </b>implying. Adrian’s arms tightened arsond me protectively.
“The intensity of this effect diminishes with distance,” the doctor contiend. Many miles apart, the connection bes negligible. However, in close proximity, soch as within the xaine Loren, He trailed off, the implication clear.
<b>“</b>You’re suggesting that Skye and I abstain from sex during the election,” Adrian stated bluntly, his voice tight with controlled anger.
Leon’s expression remained impassive. “I’m not suggesting anything. I’m stating a fact. Any sexual activity between you two would cause me considerak difort, which would naturally impact my performance in the trials.”
I squirmed in Adrian’s arms, embarrassment wanting with indignation. “You u can’t seriously think you have any right to dictate my personal life after four
“I’m merely pointing out the reality of our situation,” Leon replied smoothly. ‘Every action has consequences.

Leon waved dismissively. “Fine. You’re excused.”
Before leaving, Ethan pulled out his phone. “<b>Skye</b>, let me get your number. It’s been too long since we’ve talked.”
I recited my number as he entered it into <b>his </b>contacts. His expression softened as he met my eyes.
“I know <b>you </b>don’t belong to Frostshadow anymore,” he said quietly, “but no matter which pack you’re <b>part </b>of, you’ll always be my sister.
The simple sincerity in his voice brought tears to my eyes. I managed <b>a </b>small nod as he squeezed my hand orst time <b>before </b>slipping out with the doctor.
now you’re threatening to sleep with other women just to hurt Skye?” Adrian’s voice had dropped dangerously low. “That’s a new low, even for you.”
Leon shrugged, unmoved by Adrian’s anger. “Not a threat–simply cause and effect. Besides, it’s hardly my fault that our mate bond remains intact. The Moon Goddess works in mysterious ways.”
“You sound pretty confident for someone whos bout to lose the Alpha King election,” <b>I </b><b>said</b>, finding my <b>voice </b>again. “Are you that worried about your performance that you need to ensure there are to distractions?<b>” </b>
A flicker of annoyance crossed Lean’s otherwise stoic features. “I have <b>no </b>doubts about my victory. However, I’d prefer to win on my own merits rather than because my opponent’s Beta was incapacitated by ate bond distress.”

“Oh, but I insist.” Leon replied, his smile never reaching his eyes. “Consider it insurance against… forgetfulness.”
Without waiting for a response, Adrian turned and carried me from the room, his jaw clenched so tightly I could hear his teeth grinding together.
