Limitless: A Reverse Harem Shifter Romance (Crystal Lake Pack Book 1)
Page 19
Every single pair of eyes in the room were on her. Beside her, the twins gave her a silent but pleading look. A look also mixed with a yearning she recognized all too well. They wanted her to stay because she would be theirs. There was no question about it, no denying anymore what she felt for them.
Landon’s gaze read differently. She knew he wanted her to stay, not only because he was part of the mini-pack that was Dylan and Maze, but also because he wanted more time with her. He was sorry for what he’d said before, Addie knew. These were things Landon might never say aloud.
Henry’s wrinkled gaze told her he thought he knew her decision—but she would make sure to let him know that, just because she chose to, did not mean she would kowtow to everything the old bastard wanted. He was nothing to her, and he would continue to be nothing to her. Pack elder or not, she would not respect him, would not listen to him. He had no right to try to tell her what to do. No right at all.
It was, though, Forest’s gaze that held hers the longest. Deep within their cerulean color, she could practically see the future. Her life in the pack could be a happy one, if Clay was dealt with. His gaze held promises unspoken, an unyielding strength Addie knew she could not stand against. He was the alpha, the leader. He would’ve been her mother’s mate, had she not run away with her father. He was completely off limits, but that did not stop Addie’s heart from beginning to pound quicker and harder.
“Yes,” Addie whispered.
It was crazy how a single word could change the rest of her life, even stranger to her how it could lighten the mood of the room so drastically. What else could she have said? Leaving had ceased to be a real option a long time ago.
She had to stay, to defeat Clay, for the guys, to have a sense of unity, of family she never had before. But most of all, Addie had to stay for herself. This was the start of her new life, and she knew it was going to be a wild ride.
