The silence was everything that Ian received from Blade who was staring blankly at the ground " You are scared. What are you scared of, Blade?" Ian got confused when he focused on what Blade was feeling just to find him scared and what made him hundred percent sure that his mate was scared was Blade's reaction when he asked.
"Blade are you scared of me?" The way Blade remained silent and didn't deny or even answer his question made him feel as if his heart was breaking and a lamp stuck in his throat which is why he gulped and walked closer to his mate "Blade, tell me what's wrong?"
"I'm not scared of you, Ian. That's ridiculous. It's just... It's complicated." Ian felt relieved when Blade denied being scared of him but he could still feel that his mate was scared of something.
