I nodded and let my eyes swirl into full black, letting Hunter show his eyes to our mate.
Nadia’s mouth opened and went into an ‘o’ shape, making my dick come to life in an instant.
She was gasping in excitement as her eyes swirled and changed color to a dark shade of gray, giving us a view of her wolf’s eyes.
“Hunter! My wolf’s name is Arrow!” Her voice was so excited and I reveled in the beautiful gray eyes that were beaming at us.
Fuck! She and Arrow looked too adorable when they were this excited.
My cheeks were hurting again from the wide smile I had on my face. I cupped her cheeks, my wolf’s eyes boring deep into hers. “Hello there, Arrow! I can’t wait to see you!”
I brushed my thumbs over her skin as we got lost in the moment, just letting our wolves stare at each other.
“We need to let them out together,” I told her, with my voice getting too raspy. I was so fucking excited to meet her wolf.
She bobbed her head too many times before her eyes went back to their hazelnut color. A big smile was still playing on her lips. “I would love that!”
“But I need you in my head so I can reach you and Arrow when we run. So, tomorrow?” I raised an eyebrow, a smile still tugging on my mouth as I tilted my head lower to almost in parallel with her. “.. take my pack as your pack and me as your Alpha?”
“Yes, Alpha. I’m looking forward to that.” She giggled, but she moved back, away from me, with her hands on her back. “But now, I need to sleep. I need energy for tomorrow. It’s going to be a long day.”
I straightened my posture, hiding my disappointment that she had stepped away from me. “Yes. You need to sleep.”
“Riley... Don’t do that again.”
“What do you mean?”
She pointed to the wall that I punched. “Don’t hurt yourself whenever you can’t find me. I’m not leaving unless you ask me to.” She swallowed and her eyes were everywhere but on mine.
I couldn’t stop my heart from fluttering. Ever since she arrived, I have been in constant fear that she would leave at any time. And hearing what she just said was like music to my ears because there’s no fucking way I would ask her to leave, ever.
“Did you hear me?” Her eyes squinted and were now staring back at mine.
“Yes, I heard you.”
“And? You didn’t answer. I said, don’t hurt yourself.”
“I’ll try.”
She let out a desperate sigh. “You’re crazy!”
“I am…”
I’m fucking crazy about you.
“I’m going to bed.”
Fuck me!She just asked me to fuck off.
“Okay…” I stepped backward until I reached the corridor in front of her door. “Goodnight, Nadia. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
I wanted to kiss her, but she looked pissed off at me right now.
She stepped towards the door, her hand reaching for the door handle as she slowly pulled it until I could only see half of her through the door. She smiled weakly at me before she replied, “Goodnight, Riley. I will see you tomorrow.”
And then she closed the door.
I let out a loud, disappointed sigh as my shoulders sagged, and I stood there for a few seconds, debating whether to knock and request a goodnight kiss or simply walk away.
