The gentle breathing of someone sleeping is the first thing I notice as I wake. There is the comforting weight of an arm around my waist and the warmth of a male body pressed against my back. Even if I didn't remember who was sharing my bed with me, the warmth within me tells me that the person cocooned around me is Killian. He makes a sound in his sleep and buries his face into my hair, inhaling my scent.

I glance at the clock on my bedside table, but I'm in no rush to get up today. A sense of trepidation fills me. I'm not sure I’m ready to face the consequences of the last few days.

After I accidentally claimed Killian and he had returned the claim, sealing us together and affirming our ‘true pair’ bond, a kind of frenzy had descended upon us. We couldn't get enough of each other, the thought of even leaving the room and seeing other people had set off a jealousy in us both so strongly, that we had been confined to my bedroom. We had fucked pretty much throughout the first day, and that's exactly what it was, fucking. Making love came later, that first day was wild and animalistic, scratching and biting, our wolves trying to assert their dominance. As we settled down, we took the time to get to know each other’s bodies better.

I roll over in the bed and run my eyes over the man I am now bonded to. I’ve had a lot of time over the last few days to think over it, and my feelings are mixed. A slither of sunlight creeps in through a parting in the curtains and falls on Killian, lighting up his features. A feeling of contentment warms me as I watch him sleeping. I pull a face. Urgh, have I really turned into one of those people? Soppy has never been a word in my vocabulary.

"Stop staring at me." Killian's voice is deep from sleep, making me smile and roll my eyes in the process.

"I can't help it, you're pretty," I tease, and I mean it as I reach forward and play with a strand of his pale hair. He looks serene when he sleeps, all the stress and tension that he carries around with him falls away, and he just looks peaceful. He snorts at my comment and opens one eye, scowling at me.

"I think the bond has addled your senses, Mate." My insides clench at his used of the term Mate. He’s been using it at every opportunity, as if he relishes being able to call me it. His words were teasing, but a frown mars my face as I remember that we are going to have to face the reactions of the others regarding our actions soon enough. The others must have realised what was going on since we haven't been bothered, and little food packages have been arriving outside my door, so we haven't had to leave my room.
