LUCAS
I tuck myself back into my pants, feeling a little smug as I hear Ava muttering in the shower behind me. Something about everyone knowing what we just did.
Yeah. That's exactly the point.
I want every wolf in this camp to know she's mine. Want them to smell me all over her. Inside her. Want them to know who she belongs to.
Even when they already know, I want them to know again.
Aurum rumbles his approval in the back of my mind, the golden wolf as possessive as ever when it comes to our mate.
I run a hand through my hair, trying to make myself look somewhat presentable. Not that it matters. Anyone with a nose will know exactly what just happened in this cabin.
But the smug satisfaction fades as I remember what started this whole thing.
Ava wants to come on the raid. Wants to walk straight into danger, right at my side.
Fuck that.
We need to protect her, Aurum growls.
"I know," I mutter back.
