Destined Mates - (Makai's Point of View)

I'm debating whether to leave and check on Storm later when I remember that Aris required my presence for whatever she was about to say.

When Aris approaches the bed, the conversation comes to a halt. She observes Storm for a while and nods after splaying her hands over his forehead. "You're going to be fine. You'll only need to rest for a few days while your magic regenerates. Any activity, no matter how minor, will exhaust you."

Storm nods and leans closer against the bed rest.

"I will be taking my leave soon, but first I need to talk to you and your mate."

He had looked sad when she'd mentioned leaving, but his eyes lit up again when she mentioned 'mate,'. He obviously didn't have the same reservations about our mating as I did. He looks over at me. "Kai?"

I approach him slowly, trying to ignore the looks his family is giving me. I just stand there and stare at Storm when I get close enough, but he doesn't seem happy with the distance and gives Quinn a pleading look.
