Draven didn't move closer to his mate, seeing how she stepped back. No person would be glad to be on the receiving end of such a reaction, much less for a person like Draven who had been known for his bad temper.

"Your lessons for today has been cancelled."
Ember only nodded, not willing to look at him. She didn't even try to apologise or make excuses on her behalf.
Draven could not take this kind of behavior from her. "Why have you turned mute? Are you suddenly scared of me? Where's the brave lass who came to my study on her own yesterday?"
"I am not scared—" she tried to deny it, but he cut her off.
"Then why are you like this? Are you scared of me?"
Ember shook her head weakly to say 'no'.
"Did you do what I asked you? About why I touched you, about how you reacted—did you even try to understand what you felt?"
She stubbornly shook her head.
"Why?"
