THEO
âWoah!â Mia exclaims breathlessly in human form.
I canât help but smile as I watch her chest heaving from the strength of her panting. With sweat bedewed across her forehead, thereâs a visible glow on her face.
Weâve been spending the past three nights training together in the arena. Walking up to her, I gather her into my arms and press a chaste kiss on her forehead.
âWell done, Mia,â I praise with a huge grin on my face.
Her arms fold around my waist as she places her head on my chest and sighs. âIâve really been enjoying training. Butâ¦â She looks up when her tummy rumbles, a blush creeping on her cheeks.
âYouâre hungry,â I make the obvious observation with a chuckle.
Mia nods, pursing her lips. âBut not for ordinary foodâ¦â
âOhâ¦â My lips form a pouted circle as it dawns on me. I hadnât taken into account that sheâd been using her wolf for training so much that it would need to hunt.
And what an incredible job sheâs been doing with training! Growing stronger day by day, sheâs been improving fighting in her wolf form.
âExactlyâ¦â she says as if she can read my mind.
Frowning, I wonder if itâs something she can do now that weâve become aware of the fated mate bond. The bond allows us to share communication in our wolf forms. As Mia pulls away gently, I reach out, trying to grab her wrist.
But even in human form, she proves to be too quick for me.
Following her back to the main house, I keep my distance from her only for the sake of appearances. Mia isnât ready to tell anyone about our mate bond. And since Iâm still unsure about where I stand with the Blackclaw Pack, weâve agreed to keep this a secret.
Even from my sister, who adores Mia.
âHey, wait up,â I call out to Mia when weâve entered the house. Closing the door behind me, I breathe a momentary sigh of relief.
Checking to make sure that Anastasia isnât around, I finally manage to grab Miaâs wrist and pull her back to me.
âWhy donât you stay in my bedroom tonight?â I suggest as I smooth my palms over her shoulders.
She looks up at me, batting her eyelids seductively. âNot tonight,â she says, completely contradicting her behavior.
Tucking my bottom lip between my teeth, I shake my head as she slips out of my embrace.
âAre you sure youâre alright?â I ask as I follow her to the staircase.
Mia nods. âIâm fine. Iâm just tired, thatâs all.â
âWeâre gonna hunt tomorrow night,â I promise her. âI think youâre ready.â
She grins excitedly as she steps closer, planting a chaste kiss on my cheek. âI canât wait! See you tomorrow, Theo.â
Frowning as I watch her climb the stairs, I stay behind to gather my thoughts. Though sheâs been joining me for training these past few days, I canât help but sense that something is off.
Like something is bothering her. As much as this whole alliance debacle is bothering me.
Sheâs probably sensing my energy and feeding off it, I head upstairs.
