Seeing is not believing when denial is present. I was thinking FL wanting to mate with her same species is expected plus she watched the ML grow-up, so she never planned on seeing him as a mate and there’s the fact that he’s an apex predator. But, she watched ML masturbate while calling her name and he even invited her in…and is “holding back” till she comes around. They both will live a long time, have an age gap, and there’s no way he’s allowing any other male anywhere near her. There are some positives, he does genuinely care for her and considers her family, he’s thoughtful of her needs, and makes for a great protective.
