Lerna was in her room feeling impatient. She was so tired but she was pacing in between the fireplace and the bed. The fact that she had left Hydra and was in a new place altogether was scraping against her anxieties. On top of that her constant attraction to the man who was on the outside, who she wanted to be with and who was worrying about her more than her. Was this how the mate bond worked? She wondered if she was out of the frying pan and into the fire. Thinking of him made her heart pound against her ribcage. There was not a moment that she didn't think about him and his mouthwatering smell didn't overwhelm her senses.
