I grab a pair of cotton workout shorts that have a draw string on them and I kneel in front of her.“Hold on to my shoulders and step in,” I say, holding the shorts open for her. When she does, I pull them up and tie the draw string tightly, so they’ll stay on her narrow waist and hips.“There now,
AydaCathal is very sweet. He talks a lot when he’s excited and he’s very excited that I’m here. It warms my heart in a way that I’m unaccustomed to. I wonder if this is what it would have been like for me one day if my son had survived.When he tells me he thinks his dead mother sent me to save him
“You like flowers?” Cathal asks.“I do.”“Maybe we can look for some when you’re healed,” my son says.“Not until the war is over, Cathal. I almost lost you once.”“Yes, but instead, we found Ayda. Or rather, you found us,” he says, smiling at me.“And speaking of Ayda healing, she needs her rest, C

“How long was she gone?” he asks softly.I look up and see him watching me.“Nearly a year if my calculations are correct. I’m not exactly sure, I wasn’t….I didn’t start keeping track until later.”He surprises me by reaching around me and holding me. “That must have been a terrible time for you.” H
DimitriI want to know more about my mate, but I can also tell that something is off. I haven’t quite figured out what it is yet, but she’s definitely skittish around me. Whether it’s her wolf not being here to feel the mate bond or something else, I’m not sure, so I ask questions that I think she’l
