BEX
I shook my fur out.
I could feel Roxie move further back into my head.
I knew she was trying with our mate, and trust was hard for her. I watched her wither away as a person when she was younger and in the pack. Roxie lost all hope when she left, and when she got here, everything changed when her uncle gave her a chance. He saw something in her as I did.
I looked back, but she wasn't there.
I turned around and looked over to where our mate was.
Blaze stood before me; his black fur glistened against the sun.
My mouth watered.
Blaze walked over to me and nuzzled his nose into my neck.
His scent was inviting, but I knew I couldn't do anything, not sexual, at least. Not until Roxie was ready. I needed to be there for my human; we were in this together.
I was mad at her last night; she thought she should leave our mate. I could feel her emotions running through us.
