“What… what…” she gasped, rolling off the couch, landing hard on her knees, her hip knocking hard into the table.

A hiss escaped her at the pain, and I swear to fuck, one of my wings moved outward toward her, stroking over her skin.

Worst case, she would start spouting some shit that was going to mean Ace and the others would have a lot of fucking questions for me.

It wasn’t until right that moment, though, that I finally understood.

It wasn’t normal, the way the Change overtook me with Charlotte.

No.

I’d fuckingClaimedher.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Charlotte

“Okay okay okay,” I said, shaking my hands at my sides as I paced the small area of my bathroom. “Ooookay. Alright. That was real.”

Right?

It had to be real.
