“Do you understand what just happened?” He questioned, gazing softly at me. He tried to hide it but his lips constantly pulled up and I wanted to kiss that smile. All goofiness aside, did I understand what just happened? After the bite which coincided with the c****x of things, the burning from my inside was gone. I was normal again but that should not have been possible. Derek was my mate and except the elder that taught us at Wolf School had been lying, then the heat was not supposed to abate. The curse of heat was not going to die down once a person mated with just anyone. It had to be their mate. Derek was my mate, not Grey who wasn’t even a wolf! “We’re – Are we? Can it be?” I knew what I was going to ask but the idea seemed farfetched. “Tied? Joined? Mated as your kind say?”
