I perceived her once Shilla and I entered the hallway, and it became stronger when we drew closer to the library. I had seen her many times sneaking books in and out of the library. She was a keen reader, just like I was, and I pretended I did not notice the spaces on the shelves when she removed those books. I was so conversant with my library that I could tell where every book was.
I knew she was in the library, probably scouting for a book to read or returning the one she took. I asked Shilla to go into the library with me so I could make her burn with jealousy. That I denied her did not make me stop feeling the mate bond, and it was growing stronger by the day, such that I could not stay without her and was getting furious seeing her with someone else.
Shilla and I went in
