“Til go, but I still don’t want to undo the binds. She argued as we started walking out the door and back to the packhouse.
I asked, not quite understanding what she was so afraid of
“Well, unbinding will hurt. Probably even more than marking. I don’t understand why you are trying so hard to turn me into a monster?” There was a bit of hysteria in her voice now, and I felt a little bad for pushing.

“Grace, my love,” I said as I placed my hands on her shoulders for comfort as I stood behind her. “This is Ethan, Ethan, this is Grace.”
“It’s so good to finally meet you, Grace, Ethan gushed.
