"What do you need to tell me?"

"Nobody is coming for you. I already came."

"No Romyn, I mean the people who want to kill us."

"Peyton, I AM that person. This was all a test, a test of your trust in me. A test to see how loyal you'd be to me.

You're loyal.

Why do you think your mom never told you to go? You've already been here.
I'm not going to kill you, I love you with my whole heart..

Their debt has been paid, by you.

Because you love me."

"You.. you're him? You're the dude who wants to kill me?!"

"I don't want to kill you Peyton, and also the reason you like to call me Lupus.. it's because that's my name. - Azariah is my humans name. Romyn was completely made up to keep our cover. Your wolf doesn't know that Lupus is my name, but her soul does. That's why you call me Lupus sometimes. Just thought I'd tell you.. cause you keep referring to me as 'dude.' "

"And you're not going to kill me?"

"God Peyton, I love you, I'd never kill you... I wouldn't be able to. You've become the most important person to me."

"And Daniel, and Lydia?"

"Were apart of the test for your loyalty. You're going to be a queen Peyton, we had to test you.
Everything has been a test.

You didn't try to run away, and when you did.. you came back... today, I thought I'd lost you to myself..

And then you were still here. I knew I had to fix it. Your loyalty was to me.

You were leaving, to protect me, someone who's done nothing but cause you pain and confusion..

And I'm sorry. I'm sorry I deceived you. But you're safe here. Peyton, nobody's going to take you away from me.

I'm the strongest wolf in the history of wolves. And I get you as my mate, you're beautiful, powerful, in fact you're more powerful than me!

You're amazing, and you don't even know it."

"So this is what Mom meant when she said seven steps ahead of me no matter what I did.. I was literally under the same roof.. as my killer.. I fell in love with... my killer.

I feel so stupid. How do I know that this isn't part of your steps ahead to kill me? How do I know you aren't going to?"

"Peyton.. none of my feelings for you are lies. This whole thing was to test your trust in me, the amount of love you have for me.. you passed the test. I'm in love with the fact that you... you love me.

Nobody has ever loved me Peyton, ever...
Believe me, this isn't apart of my 'tricks' I'm not this obvious with my feelings for anyone..

Now that I know you trust me, I can trust you."

"Why would you go to these lengths though?!
Why would you put me through so much emotional damage, you made me think people were going to kill you. That some dude was gonna murder the person I love, that I had to leave that person.. to make some other guy like me.
