Chapter 23

I kneeled beside the bed where she was facing and smiled when I noticed her take in a deep breath and let it out slowly. Even though she was human, it was easy to see that she could still sense us near her. Her body was probably reacting the same way a werewolf's would if their mate was near.

Mate.

Just the mere word brought me so much happiness now that I had discovered my mate. I didn't care if she was human, she made me feel so alive when I was with her, despite the whole incident we had earlier today.

I was still puzzled why she had reacted in that manner. Whatever she was accusing me of were clearly not my intentions. I just wanted to get to know her, but it had gone downhill the second I turned the corner of that aisle. Things would be a whole lot easier if she knew my secret. She was practically living in it and she had absolutely no clue. But that will change soon enough.
