‘Oh, Nadia. You act asif you’re scared of our mate, and now you’re annoyed that he doesn’t come near you. Why don’t you kiss him and check if he’ll push you away?’
I could tell my wolf was already annoyed at me. She might be right, but I still felt bad.
In the three weeks that I was here, I was so used to his attention and his pampering that I couldn’t help but get annoyed with how he just suddenly seemed to ignore me.
I shoved the blanket off my body and rose from the bed, walking towards the window.
He woke up too early. He might be going out for a run. And that was why I was here, sitting on the window sill, waiting for Hunter to appear.
And I was right. After just a few seconds, his naked form came into view as he walked toward the forest line before shifting into his wolf.
The nerve of this man to walk from his office naked? Couldn’t he take off his clothes inside the forest and shift there instead of strutting his dick and ass around where omega females working around the packhouse could see him?
One day, I would give him a dose of his own medicine. I would walk around naked too.
I chuckled at my own thoughts.
Oh, Goddess!Not being able to talk to my mate was driving me crazy.
I honestly had no idea what my plans were or what I should be doing next.
I already knew the person he was before I met him. I should have been scared and just left, but I couldn’t. I didn’t want to. I just realized I wanted him more than anything. And if he really was a bad person, maybe it wasn’t too late to change. Maybe we could find ways together so his past wouldn’t come back to haunt us.
I was still contemplating what I needed to do next when Hunter appeared from the forest line with long-stemmed flowers in his mouth.
I couldn’t help the smile curling on my face. I was already assuming those were for me.
I made my way to the bathroom to hurriedly wash my face and brush my teeth, and I grabbed the novel I was reading before slumping down on the couch and pretending to read while waiting for him.
I knew he had given me flowers last night, but a female could never have too many flowers. I was glad he knew that. But the seconds turned to minutes, and I had already been waiting for twenty minutes,and he was still not here.
Maybe the flowers were not for me.
I stood up from the couch, disappointed. I placed the book back on the shelves when the door opened.
My body automatically swung to face the door, and I saw my mate peeking his head from the door, looking around until our eyes met.
He flashed me a boyish smile, and I just raised my brows while discreetly stopping my heart from thundering because he looked so handsome with his hair tied in a ponytail.
“Good morning...” His voice was husky, and it took a lot of effort not to grin back at him.
“Good morning...”
He entered the room and closed the door with his foot before he took out whatever he was hiding behind him.
“Flowers? Again? But you just gave me one last night.” I took them from his hand and held them close to my nose, sniffing the smell of the wildflowers and the musky scent of the forest.
I would say I was impressive. I acted like I didn’t see him coming out of the forest with these flowers.
“I don’t know if you liked them or not. Then, while running earlier, I saw those beautiful ones and thought of you. Maybe you would like these better.”
“I liked the ones from last night. But these are way better. Thank you.” I smiled at him, letting my hand run on the pink ribbon he used to tie them up in place. “Did you fix this? Or did you ask for help from the females in the kitchen?”
I wasn’t sure if my tone was laced with jealousy, but my heart clenched at the thought of him appearing naked in front of those females. I knew most of them were mated, but that didn’t change the fact that my male is very attractive.
I saw his mouth twitching into a smile, but it was gone in seconds. “I tried to figure out how to do it on my own until Dominic showed up, and we figured it out together.”
“Oh, you did well. It looks nice. Thank you...”
