55. What the mark is

Eden flinched and his chest tightened. He did his best to keep his emotions in check and to stay calm. Golden orbs looked at the old healer sitting across the table and then turned to his mate who was sitting next to him.

When Glen told him he wanted to wait until he got the mark because he didn't want to hurt him, the male omega had easily complied. He had realized that he wasn't free to act selfishly as the heir to Bloodhood. However, that didn't mean he wasn't determined to take the cursed alpha as his mate. No matter what the difficulty, he would lift the curse and form a complete pair with the alpha that was creeping more and more into his heart every moment. The Dominant did so with a naturalness that left him utterly dumbfounded.
