I Hit His Balls By Accident—Now This Taken Alpha's Obsessed With Marking Me?!

I'm waiting for Tristan to answer my question , but he's staring at my hand , his mind gone to another place . " Distan ? " He blinks , snapping back to the room . But the vibe has shifted . The intensity , the curiosity - it's all gone . " Was I supposed to feel something in my hand ? " You were . " His words are clipped and harsh , as if he's angry at me for failing to make the rose bloom . " My grandfather's assessment of you yesterday was correct . You're an omega ." That hurts more . He looks at me like I'm a waste of a Saturday afternoon .

I place the rose at my side and leave it there . I don't want to hold it anymore . " I have to go , " he says , stepping back toward the door . He can't leave . Not like this . If he walks out that door thinking I'm useless , I'm done . Especially because the entire time we've been alone in this room together , there's been a burning question I've been dying to ask him .

And the mark.The North Star . Eight dark points against my pale skin . Tristan freezes.He studies it in silence for a few seconds . His expression is unreadable . I have no idea what he's thinking , but instead of asking , I wait for him to speak first . He reaches out his hand , fingers outstretched , but quickly pulls back . " I've never seen anything like that in my life , " he says .

Disappointment floods me , but I'm not going to give up that quickly . " Have you ever heard of a shifter being marked ? " I ask . No. " He studies me a bit longer , his eyes raking over every inch of my body , and his gaze hardens . jar . release my waistband , covering the mark again . " You know what it means , " I say steadily , since he wouldn't act this way if he didn't . I don't . " Then why are you looking at me like that ? " He relaxes slightly , but it's too late to hide his true reaction . " Like what ? " Like I've done something wrong . " le inhales , and his eyes soften again .

" You haven't done anything wrong , " he says smoothly - too smoothly . You were right to show me this . Fll help you figure but what it means . Just hold tight , okay ? " The mark buzzes so much that it stings . $ 2 : 48 1 Hit His Balls Ru Arrident - Now Thie Tabon Aluha's Ghzoccod With Working 15.7 hapter A Es warning me .

From my conversations with Penny and Felicity , I know that if there's one thing the shifters kate more than anything else , it's the unknown Showing this to him was a mistake . Sure . I say , my voice hollow . " Thanks . " Anytime . He smiles grimly , and my heart pounds with anxiety . " Goodnight , Aria . " He turns and opens the door , slipping out without looking back . The latch clicks shut . I'm left standing alone in the middle of the room , a cold knot forming in my stomach .

He knows.He knows exactly what this means If he didn't , he wouldn't have looked at me like that - with that flicker of recognition , that split second of alarm before he locked it all down . And whatever it means , it isn't anything good . (1 ) admin
