The further we walked from where the incident happened with Josh and Courtney, the more Josh rubbed at his temples. His pace had gotten slower than normal. Every few seconds, he squeezed his eyes close before reopening them again. If I wasn't mated, I probably wouldn't have known what he was going through.
It was unbearable to withstand the nagging when his mate was hurt. Not to mention, when she was hurt by him.
The best part of all this was he was paying for his actions. Next time, he would think twice before hurting his mate. The simple fact brought a smile to my lips.
Josh paused, grabbed onto a tree, and shook his head.
I arched a brow, pretending to care. "Are you okay, Josh?"
He pushed from the tree and continued walking. "I'm fine."
"Hmmm," I hummed with a grin.
