Owen’s POV “Mate Mate Mate!” Darren yelled loudly in my head. His screaming brought me back to reality. After blinking a few times, Ally’s eyes focused on me and they returned to their natural beautiful green. I sat there stunned for a few moments before I pulled myself together. Knowing that she has no idea what is probably going on in her mind and body, I didn’t want to scare her or weird her out. “Are you ok?” She nodded and lowered her head in embarrassment. I hugged her head to my chest and felt her take a few deep breaths and a few sniffles. Knowing that the mate bond had started to affect us both, being in my arms would naturally calm and sooth her. I rubbed circles on her back and whisper reassuring words while inhaling her scent. She smelled like fresh laundry and strawberries
