The sounds of twigs snapping and my guttural panting were the only things I could hear.
The scent grew stronger with every step I took, and my wolf grew excited. "He is coming."
My feet skidded against the dirt, as I came to a halt. A man stood a few feet away, his grey eyes already locked on mine. His chest rose and fell like he couldn't breathe. His hands were clenched at his sides. His jaw tightened. But his eyes… gods, his eyes… looked at me like I was the only thing he'd ever needed.
'Master.' I muttered in my head. But I didn't know if it was because of the pull or the pain, but I couldn't concentrate, even my wolf was fighting to take control.
"That is our mate!" My wolf whimpered inside my head.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
The world faded, the trees, the chirping of the insects, the music, the noise, all of it disappeared. There was only him and me.
