I stretched dramatically, playing the part of someone just waking up ||
still drowsy, I looked up at the man in front of or with a smile, my eyes crinkling playfully||
“Alpha sir, you’re hack=“||
Ronan stared at me for a beat-
Like he’d been briefly blinded by the sincerity of my expression []

And I can’t leave you. Without you. 11 die.“[]
Ronan yanked his sleeve away, expression sharp
“How many other wolves have you used that line on?”
