Oliver's POV
I know that it was wrong that I insisted that Victoria should ride on my motorcycle because the moment we drove away from the bus stop, I could feel my entire body was shaking because I was so afraid of what I felt inside me. I could tell when Victoria's body pressed against mine, and I knew right away what the elders meant.
And I realized my best friend was right, and this is the first time that I admitted to myself that the mate thing is real when I feel the connection and the pull towards the young woman hugging me from behind. I wanted to be with her all the time and be her protector.
