After they finished their breakfast, the group dispersed to their rooms to get changed. Aila decided it was better to go straight from her mum's shop to the shopping centre to meet up with Hollie. Once she was changed into black skinny jeans, a crop top, a leather jacket and some black trainers, she placed some light make-up on her face, with red lipstick and eyeliner. Unlike herself, Hollie was not a tomboy and was much like Nairi; she was her savour on nights out when she did turn up to them, and the girl would help her get changed and make sure she looked fashionable and sexy.
Once Aila was done with her appearance, she took a moment to look around the room. Her mood shifted, and she felt as though there was a missing part of her. Aila knew it was the mate bond; it was a constant tug, trying to get her to go to her mate. But with or without the bond, she felt the overbearing weight of Damon's absence.
