Ariadne watches Victor unbelievingly. Victor continues, "I wanted to be with you."Why is it so hard to explain to her?Blush fire runs through the entirety of Ariadne's skin, and she finds that she can't continue.But Ariadne knows the difference, so inherent and prominent. Arthur wanted to own her. Victor just wanted to be with her, know her, be her friend and confidant.And now, the Alpha is more to her than any single title, friend, lover, partner."You'd be surprised at how little I think of you," Ariadne spits, a tremor jolting along her spine at the complete blatancy of that lie.Victor laughs in a sweet, good-natured way, scarlet irises glittering in the dark. He sighs, studying Ariadne with intent. "You didn't tell me everything.""I barely told you anything," Ariadne agrees."I want to hear about why you don't want to be mated," Victor says. "But-Ariadne's stomach sinks."-I know you're not ready yet."
