Gavin's POV
It has been a week since Ana and I completed the mating, we haven't spoken a lot since then just a little banter every now and then, she seems to be opening up to me again and I was happy, really happy about it. I knew she was having a hard time because I was able to feel her anxiousness through the bond, our bond has grown stronger since we have mated and we were able to know each and everything the other was feeling. The need to be near our mate has also increased ten fold and I have felt more protective towards Ana, I don't why but I am always worried about her and constant need to check on her well being was overwhelming me. However, I didn't want her to feel pressured so with great difficulty I was able to control myself and stop from being on a patrol on the 9th floor al
