Jensen POV I still couldn’t believe she marked me. That girl had absolutely no restraint. One minute Freya was insisting she wanted independence and space to figure herself out, and the next she was sinking her teeth into my neck like she owned me. Not that I minded. Okay… maybe I minded a little less than I should. Still, it complicated things. Her mark had shortened the time we had left before completing the mating bond. We now had twenty-four hours to fully mate before the bond started weakening, damaging both of us in the process. ‘Bloody woman will be the death of us,’ Lucas muttered. ‘You’re not wrong,’ I replied internally. ‘Lucky we love her.’ Lucas huffed in agreement. I’d left Freya with Josh earlier while he went over her new training schedule for the next few weeks.
