Hi! I just read the new g&o update and it was wonderful! Thank you Ghosti! I wanted to ask about my theory, does Gabe insist on smelling Odessa so much because she’s his mate and she smells a special kind of way? And he knows that she’s going to have to leave soon so of course he wont try to tie her to him by telling her but still wants to indulge as much as he can?
I love this ask! You’re definitely on the right tracks with this, Anon. Werewolves in this story rely a lot on scent anyway, and his wolf is telling him she’s ‘right’. It’s very grounding for him, especially since he doesn’t have a pack of his own after leaving his family when he was relatively young. Having someone who feels safe, and with whom he can safely indulge his wolfy side a bit is a great comfort, however temporary it might be…
