Love and fear
Treen looked so mad, and Ellen laughed like she knew me my whole life and expected this.
Everyone filed out of the room.
"Lanie, Listen, I don't know if it's a Bennet wolf thing, but I can legit feel your sadness. It's knocking the wind out of me. Please talk to me."
"Axel still hasn't marked me. I think he is in love with someone else." She admitted.
"Lanie, Look at me! Axel is the most considerate, loving person I know. He grew up with foster parents who loved him. He's not damaged like us. He wouldn't claim you as his mate if he loved someone else. I can promise you that."
