C22 Don't leave me!

Rae’s POV

I asked him if I could leave, since I am no slave, but Erik didn’t answer, not right away, at least. Of course, I didn’t intend on leaving at that moment, not when I wanted to be around him, but it would be good to know I was free and my staying in that pack depended entirely on my own will to do so.

I look at his eyes, trying to understand his feelings and why he is not answering me
