It felt weird being away from him for more than two seconds.
But she spoke,
"Damien will avoid you for a couple of months."
I was startled by the announcement, but I understood soon enough.
"I don't think Harlan would get jealous..."

"They get really sensitive when the bond is new. He was doing his best, but you two even being in the same room was triggering for him."

I thought I understood when Harlan explained it to me, but I still needed to get used to it.
I looked at her and whispered so they couldn't hear,
"What about Blaze?"
Her expression turned grim.
I couldn't not wonder about Blaze; I felt bad, and he was my friend, after all.
"He said he needed space and decided to go patrol the borders by himself, but you weren't the only reason for that," she whispered and kept walking as we arrived at Damien's study and she opened the door.
There, sitting on the couch wearing athletic clothes, was Gemma.
