My Scared Mate
The tension in the room was thick, almost suffocating.
As I handed him his cup, our fingers brushed. A current ran through me, leaving me slightly dazed. Jayleen noticed, his eyes lingering on our touching fingers. There was a moment of silence before he cleared his throat and sat back, looking anywhere but at me.
Finally, he started speaking. He told me about the pack, about his role as the Alpha. He spoke about Kain, my father, and what he had become. He told me about his intentions, about how he didn't mean to scare me or to put me in danger.
