Chapter 86

JAYDEN
I led Luciana to one of the elegant guest rooms, where she confided in me the desire to take a long shower to rid herself of the lingering human scent, which indicates Catriona. My heart twitched for a bit however I encouraged her to go ahead. She then asked me to join her, and I couldn't resist, as I had secretly longed for a moment like this. I yearned to feel her gentle touch once again.
As I was about to accept the offer, my wolf objected, convinced that she wasn't our mate. Despite my efforts to disregard him, his noisy protests made it nearly impossible to concentrate. His overpowering presence rendered me incapable of silencing him.
