chapter 16- Blaire’s pov

"He hasn't rejected me," I said, my voice a little raised. I took a deep breath and then added. "At least not yet."

"Of course. Yeah. I'm sorry for putting it that way but you know what I mean." He held my hands and came closer.

"So how does all this happen? The mating?" I was curious.
