Al hesitated, visibly shaken at the obvious show of submission. Edmund just bared his throat like that, exposing not only the bite, but his scent glans and pulse. Any alpha would be tempted to take full advantage. Even Al, whose dominant tendencies were largely in check, was tempted to push in and mark him. Welcome or not.
Forcing his breath to steady, Al shook his head. “No. No, I meant — are you okay? You’re very different.”
Probably he shouldn’t have blurted it out like that. Edmund had so much pride. Or the Edmund he used to know had. Even that night after the incident, Edmund had been defiant. Nothing like this.
“You’re not acting like yourself.” He’d already said it. Might as well commit now. Had the bite done this? Or was it something else? If Kala had groomed this behavior from him, what else had she done?
