“It feels so weird,” Aimee said then frowned. “That’s not the right word.”

“Weird is as good a word as any since it’s so new,” Walker said, his voice warm. She could feel him inside her with such intensity it sometimes scared her. Yet at other times over the past few hours, it was as if nothing had changed. Their mating bond was still finding a way to settle and, apparently, it would do this oscillating thing for a little while longer.

He squeezed her hand as they walked along one of the paths that led out of the Talon Pack den and into the forest surrounding it. According to Walker, they were still on Talon territory, but not inside the actual wards. She didn’t quite understand the difference, other than the fact that one had more guards than the other, but she would learn.

Because, apparently, she was a Talon member now.

Oh, boy.

Other than not needing to stand next to Walker when she went through the wards, nothing had changed too much in the past few hours. They hadn’t spoken to any other member of the Pack yet since they’d wanted to just be by themselves while they figured out this new normal but, apparently, Gideon had texted Walker to welcome her to the Pack.

There would be more formal things later, but for now, it was just the two of them.

What formal things would there be for two people who were now mated but only in the beginning stages of their relationship? They didn’t love one another. Oh, there were sparks and perhaps the beginnings of what could be love, but they’d done all of this in the wrong order. She just hoped Walker didn’t feel as though he made a mistake.

“You’re thinking too hard,” he said, not looking at her.

“This is awkward, I can’t help it.”

He frowned, stopped walking, and this time, turned to fully face her. “What’s awkward?”

She waved her hand around in the air. “This. All of this. We’re mates, and I have no idea what I’m supposed to say or feel. I mean, I probably wouldn’t feel this way if we’d known each other and dated for years and slowly eased into mating. But since we didn’t, I not only have my normal anxiety, I have the newness added on.” She met his gaze, making sure he saw the intent in her eyes. “I am not regretting. I’m just saying…we did things backwards, and I’m going to need some time—with you—to make sure we don’t forget any of the steps we skipped.”

Walker was quiet for so long, she was afraid she’d said something wrong, but then he smiled widely, and she moved that much closer to being in love with him. He had a truly beautiful smile with the barest hint of a dimple that did warm things to her, and she couldn’t help but smile back.

“You sound pretty normal to me.” He paused, cupping her face. “We’re going to make this work. Not because of what Avery said, but because of what we want.
