~LAIA~
“Goddess, I miss you, Laia… I can’t sleep at night. I feel the bond…”
Cael’s striking blue eyes are on me. I look at the closed door trying to understand how he even got into the room, how he’s sitting at the edge of my bed, his hand warm through the blanket burning my ankle.
His scent, oh f**k. I want to live in it. I want to breathe him in.
My wolf stirs, awakened by his presence, restless and aching. He’s our mate. And no matter how hard I try to deny it, he makes my whole being ache.
“Cael… It’s too late. The Moon Goddess already gave us our chance once…”
He moves closer on the bed and reaches out, his fingers brushing lightly beneath my chin, lifting my face. His eyes stay intensely locked on mine.
“It’s not too late, Laia… Sweetheart. I’ll mark you. I’ll mate with you
