Chapter 17

Gannon POV

Abbie’s excitement was contagious as we went for a run. However, this time, I made her bring her clothes with her knowing how quickly her wolf got excited.

We also went swimming for a bit, yet she seemed to enjoy herself despite her hesitation. Out here, when it was just us, it was like the world’s problems melted away, and she had no cares in the world, yet at the castle, she slips back into the servant role she was accustomed to.

I hated seeing her stuck in a servant role. Earlier I spoke to Damian about making her my personal servant, which would mean she would be free to do as she pleases; he said I needed to speak to the King. Though I doubt he would object to it as long as Abbie agreed. So I was hoping to have a chance to speak to him when we visited the Landeena castle.

Turn around, Abbie squealed as she doggy paddled to the water’s edge. I chuckled, turning my back to her. She had panties and a bra on this time, so I don’t know what she was worried about. Besides, I had already seen her naked, not that she knew that.I heard her grunt as she tried to climb the embankment. We were in a different area today not so far from the castle, yet the ledge was higher. Hearing her continuous struggle, I turned around and gripped her hips, making her squeak.

“Gannon,” she squealed as I tucked her against me before climbing out and sitting on the edge. I sat her on my lap, our feet dangling in the water. Her skin looked extremely white against my dark fur. Yet she never feared me in this form.

Why don’t shift back?” she asks as I bring. I nuzzle her neck, and she drops her chin yet doesn’t move to climb off me. My huge hands rub her belly as I look over her shoulder to find her bra completely see-through. Her perking breast and pink button nipple peaking out.

Deep gravings marred her flesh when I noticed the claw marks across them. I had seen the lashing on her back, counted those when she hadn’t noticed me watching her in the water, yet I hadn’t noticed the ones on her breasts before.

I rested my chin on her shoulder. I looked down at her skin. Claw marks were on her thighs and her hips, looking like someone had gripped her and lost control.
