Chapter 8

Savannah

I chewed on my thumbnail as one of my guards drove, taking me to Kaleb and Parker’s apartment. It was just after noon, and my mate had just texted that he was ready for me to come over.

God, my mate. I didn’t think I would ever get used to that. It still felt foreign on my tongue and far too bright in my mind.

But I wasn’t entirely opposed to it. It was sudden and nothing like I’d imagined. Yet it was…well, it wasn’t that bad.

Actually, I was burying the lede. Maybe it was that I’d spent so much time with Kaleb, or maybe it was because he’d so tenderly taken care of me for days on end as I healed from being at death’s door. But I was starting to feel something for him.

What that something was, I wasn’t sure. It was fragile and tiny, an ephemeral thing that lingered on the edge of my mind, making my heart and stomach flutter at all sorts of moments.

It was just that he was so funny. And he never acted like I was an inconvenience. Instead, he stared at me like I was so impressive to him. Like something bright and valuable that he was lucky to be around.

I suppose it helped how well he’d reacted to giving up his future to save me. I thought he would resent me. After all, I didn’t know if he was dating someone or even interested in dating. But he’d acted like he was the one who had to apologize to me.

With all that care, all that consideration, and that incredibly handsome face of his, it was only natural I was a bit syrupy about him. So when he asked me out to dinner to ease into our new mating bond and try to make things normal, I jumped at the chance. And I didn’t regret it.

“Did you want to stop for anything?” my guard asked.

I shook my head, my mind too full. I’d been disappointed when our date was interrupted, but finding out that Sam had a possibly major lead had been a balm to my displeasure.

Until I figured out that Kaleb being needed meant that we wouldn’t be spending nearly as much time together.

He’d been going to work for the past week, for the most part. And staying over at his place half the time. But we still spent plenty of time together each day. Something inside me screamed sorrowfully at the idea of not seeing him for so long.

So before I’d thought it through, I offered to help.

I had no idea how I could be even remotely useful, yet I was so happy when he accepted my help. And he didn’t act put upon by it, either. As usual, he seemed genuinely pleased about my presence. It was like a drug, almost, and I could see myself quickly becoming an addict.

Which probably wasn’t the best reaction after having my mating choice taken away. But considering it was either that or being dead, I figured I got the better end of the deal.
