QUOTE : Gabby, what’s wrong?” “Clay is here. In fur,” I said as quietly as possible. After a brief pause, Sam chuckled. “What did you expect, Hun? He scented you as his Mate. He’s probably been following you since. Only, when you were with me, he trusted me to protect you and kept his distance. Moving away...well, you might have forced his hand a bit. Then again, I think he had planned on joining you from the start.” “Right...” I heard a creak of leather and knew Sam had sat in his office chair to get comfortable for a long conversation. “Listen, this isn’t so bad. With him there, you won’t need to worry as much about other men, right?” “Yeah, but what about him?” I went to my dresser to look for clothes. “I told you...he has control. You won’t have to worry about him becoming aggressive with you.” Before I could say anything, Rachel’s muted voice called from the kitchen. “Hey, Gabby?” “I gotta go. Just wanted to tell you he was here. I’ll call if anything stranger pops up.
