Chapter 12

Obsidian knocked again, taking a couple of steps back. He didn’t want to leave his scent on anything. Didn’t want to get Demi into trouble.

He waited a whole minute. It felt more like an hour. Then he knocked again. “Demi,” he whispered.

The door opened almost immediately. “Oh my god!” The she-wolf threw herself into his arms.

Obsidian caught her, wrapping his arms around her for a moment. She buried her face into his chest and held onto him. He breathed her in. It was as suspected, after catching the male’s scent. “I thought you were mated. My brother must have…” he spoke under his breath, not wanting to alert anyone to his presence.

She tensed in his arms and pulled away. Her eyes were misty with emotion. “I am. I mean, I will be…I…” she floundered. Not making any sense.

“My brother said that you mated that male. It would have been two days ago now. That can’t be though, since neither of your scents have changed.” He sniffed. “In fact, I still scent myself on you. It’s faint, but there.” He frowned. “I came because I wanted to check that you were fine. I probably shouldn’t have, but,” he shrugged, “I couldn’t get you off my mind. Mountain, my brother, he said you were fine and not my problem, but I feel differently.”

“How did you know I was alone? That I was here in the first place, since I moved out of my old cottage?”

“I have been watching the village.” He flinched. “I had to see that you were fine. I only came today, for the first time. I’m not some kind of freak. I’m worried, that’s all.”

“You were watching the village.” She narrowed her eyes. “Now that really is stalker behavior.” She folded her arms, pretending to be angry but he could see that she didn’t mean it.

“I sat waiting for a couple of hours,” he said. “Hoping to see you but instead, I saw your…” He couldn’t say the word ‘mate’. Couldn’t! “I saw the bear,” he grumbled. “I could scent it was him.” His voice turned rasping and deep as he thought of the male.

“So you knew I would more than likely be alone?”

He nodded. “Dragons have an amazing sense of smell. I could smell you weren’t where I left you. That you were here. I could hear that you were alone. I hope you don’t think it’s strange but…I’ve been worried about you. I could scent you weren’t mated despite what Mountain told me. I needed to see you. To check in.”

“Thank you for coming and for caring. It means so much, but,” she shook her head, speaking quickly, “you have to go.” She put her hands on his chest. She didn’t push though. Just left them there.

Obsidian shook his head, taking in her beautiful dark eyes. Her hair was pulled into a messy ponytail. She wore jeans and a baggy t-shirt. “I should never have left you like that. Under those circumstances.”

“Of course you should have,” she spoke forcefully.
