"Oh, right..." | looked down at my towel cladded body and frowned at the girl now pacing the room. "Why exactly
are you here then? As you can see I'm a bit, well, I'm naked." | gestured tically to my attire and prayed the
girl would just walk away and leavebe, but instead her now once again worried eyes met mine.
"I'm worried about Olly." She allowed her finger tops to brush her prominent new mark, that rested on the crook
of her neck, and looked up atthrough her eyebrows. "He left hours ago with Lewis to check on the border,
and he hasn't contactedsince. We can mindlink now and still | haven't heard from him, I'm really worried."
"Nah, don't be worried. Lewis often goes off to check on the border, sometimes he stays later to catch up with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe patrol on that day. I'm sure he and Oliver are probably just talking about you, and how happy he is to have
found his mate." | wasn't worried at all, it was typical of Lewis to do this, and it's not like they could contact us
with a cell phone, as they were rare to find.
"Your mate is out there right now, and you aren't worried about him at all?" | shook my head and sat on the end
of the bed folding my towel between my legs to attempt sdecency.
"I'm a bit worried, but not in the sway as you." She sat down next to me, uninvited | might add and looked

longing to be with Oliver, and so your mind as turned that longing into worry because you haven't heard from
him. Just wait another hour, or two. If there's still nothing, I'll go to the border myself. Ok?" | patted her on her
back awkwardly, and stood up, wrapping the towel tighter around myself.
"You sure know a lot about things, despite everything. | can understand to an extent why people follow you Even
though I tend to disagree with your choices." She chuckled and | was shocked at having sucha moment with Vee.
"What was it like? Getting marked | mean."
"It was Amazing, your whole body tingles with pleasure. Even Oliver had to just lie down for a minute after
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreleasing me, because he poured all his energy into it. God it was incredible." Her cheeks flared up just thinking
about it, and | smiled slightly, maybe I should consider allowing lewis to mark me, the connection we share
anyway would undoubtedly increase.
Our tender moment was cut short however, when a strained voice floated into my head. | forced trying my
hardest to focus on the words but an uproar of noise began outside of the bedroom door, making it impossible
forto hear. | groaned, throwing sclothes on before exiting the room and making my way down stairs.
In the entrance of the pack house, stood Oliver, blood dripping from his head while he held himself up by leaning
on the wall, every set of eyes were on him andas | cinto view. "King Josh has Lewis!" x
