Chapter Eight

The Itan came to stand directly in front of him and his Misha, the movement drawing everyone’s attention and causing the room to go silent. Ty didn’t bother to look at Borys, leveling his commanding gaze on Borys’s mate, instead.

“I need to know how you want to proceed, Misha. You came here looking for your family, and in a way, you can say you found him. Since you’re a guest on my lands, I’m going to ask you: are you comfortable getting to know Borys as your mate instead of your cousin?”

Borys’s lap full of cookie went silent. He watched as she bent her head and stared at her own hands entwined on her lap, wondering what she was thinking. Had he scared her somehow? Was she disappointed for some reason, like having him as a mate?

It was hard for him to hold in all of the sudden nervous energy he had as all of these questions ran through his head. Borys hadn’t exactly been actively looking for a mate, but he was damn grateful he had found her.

Finding your fated mate wasn’t a guarantee. Both he and his bear wanted their mate to accept them, and perhaps love them one day. From the second he had realized what this woman was to him, all of the primitive shifter instincts involving a mate had kicked in. His bear wanted to go kill the best deer they could find and present it to her to prove he could provide food for her. His bear also wanted to show, not just his clan, but the entire world that he was strong enough to protect what was his. The man in him even wanted to hold her tight in his arms to show that he could show her affection. His cookie already meant the world to him, even if it was just on an instinctual or primitive level.

He felt his fingertips start to grab her a little tighter and automatically loosened his hold. Borys had never heard of someone rejecting their fated mate, but his and Misha’s circumstances were not exactly that of the norm. Maybe she wouldn’t want him because she momentarily thought they were family as cousins.

He watched her think. Her face was a mask, and he couldn’t see her emotions, but he could smell the nervousness and confusion rolling off of her. It was hard to watch and see her debate their future without saying a word, but he would give that to her.

Just watching her as she thought things over, he took in the lines of her face, the way she bit her lips as she thought, and the way her long lashes curled up, casting a small shadow against her upper cheek, her eyes closed. Even though he couldn’t tell what she was thinking, and Borys was pretty damn terrified that she would reject him, he couldn’t help admiring how lovely she was. He was going to soak in these precious minutes that she spent thinking just in case his pretty little cookie decided she didn’t want to give him a chance.
