come from? I rolled my eyes as my wolf sniggered.
Alex took a cautious step back from me and gave me a sheepish grin as heat flooded up his neck. My wolf liked that. She liked that a lot.
Despite my wishes of staying away from Alex, my wolf forced my hand out to touch his arm. “Don‘t worry about it, Alex. I know you were only offering your condolences. Just ignore him.”
He chuckled lightly as he scratched his eyebrow with his thumb. My wolf followed every move he made and encouraged me to notice that his ring finger on his left hand was free of any jewelry.
Of course, I already knew Alex was single, but him being unattached to anyone wouldn‘t help my wolf get her way, and I reminded her again that he was a detective— the detective— working Marc‘s murder case. She didn‘t understand that this guy would lock me up and throw away the key if he found out I was the one who killed Marc. It wouldn‘t matter if he had developed feelings for me.
“I, uh—call me if you need anything, Mena. I mean that… anything at all.” His eyes narrowed and darted to the retreating Daryn, but he said no more on what transpired between the three of us.
My wolf resisted when I went to take my hand from Alex, but I caught her off guard and took a step back, well out of reach from the man. I gave him a small smile as I nodded, and then I turned and walked toward the line of vehicles.
