Aya's POV
By the time Master Liu got to the tent, I was exhausted and laying by the pit fire fast asleep. During the night, his arm somehow ended up around my waist, where he had pulled me close to him.
I stare into the flames and reflect on the coming day. Today is to be a busy day for us both. He will be busy working with the men but also training a few of the lycans too.
Today I am to be tested and judged by all of the Gods to see if I will be deemed worthy of being a Guardian of all living creatures. It frightens me. I know this is my destiny, my path in life. But it is not clear on what all is to be expected of me. I am hoping that at the ritual or before, Mako will explain a bit more about it.
Master Liu's breathing has changed and I feel him wrap himself around me as he kisses me on the cheek. "Mine." He says in a deep growl that makes my toes curl with instant desire.
Chuckling I turn my head towards his and kiss him sweetly. "Good morning."
