8: Made for Me

Grace

"You've been skipping lunch?" Landry growled the second he set me on my feet.

I stared up at him with wide, anxious eyes. This was the first time I was encountering his anger, and I was unsure how to handle it, especially since it was directed at me.

He hadn't said a word after leaving the others at the fair. In silence, he carried me to his car, buckled me in, and drove us home. Then he scooped me up in his arms and carried me inside and all the way up the stairs to our bedroom.

He wasn't even breathing hard.

The romantic side of me wondered if he was carrying me so much to prove I wasn't too heavy. The practical side of me, however, reminded me that werewolves were immensely strong, and the higher the rank, the stronger the shifter. Landry was third in command of one of the most powerful packs in the kingdom. Even if I weighed three hundred pounds, he'd still be able to carry me with ease.

Since we met three days ago, I'd discovered a few important things about my mate. One, he was stubborn. Once his mind was set, it was almost impossible to change it. Two, he was incredibly gentle. Not just with how he treated me, but also in his interactions with others, which was rare to find in a shifter of his standing. In my experience, the more powerful the wolf, the more brutal the man. Then again, I was learning fast that my former pack, White Pelt, wasn't anything like my new one.

The third thing I learned was that Landry was a talker. The boy's mouth. Never. Stopped. Moving. Even at night, I heard him murmuring in his sleep as he spooned me. Just this morning, when I woke him up for breakfast, he was mumbling something about gingerbread houses, which made me giggle.

And I loved that about him. After being around people who were too exhausted just surviving in the wilderness to make conversation, he was a breath of fresh air. His deep, velvety voice was a joy to my ears, and I happily listened to my little chatterbox all day long.

That's why his silence tonight was so unnerving. I didn't like it anymore than I liked the anger in his blue-green eyes.

I had far too much experience with angry males who treated females like we were only good for cooking, cleaning, and producing pups. However, while nineteen years' worth of experience made me cautious, I knew Landry would never raise his hand to me or treat me that way. I trusted him completely with my heart, mind, and soul.

Now, if only I could trust him with my body, too, I thought miserably.

So far, we kissed and cuddled and shared the same bed every night in our new house, but only to sleep. I knew most new shifter couples finished up the whole mating process within twenty-four hours, but I asked him to wait a bit so we could get to know each other better first.
