Chapter 39 | Mischief

Nadia

I could sense when my mate crossed the borders. I internally groaned to myself. Words can’t describe how grateful I was to have some time away from him before the princess and I moved to the Bloodlust Pack permanently.

My hands continue to move as I fold laundry and hang the princess’s clothes up. A knock on the door and I can smell his scent and I exhale slowly as I debate whether to open the door for him. He says, “I can smell you in there, Nadia. I can also hear the sound of your heartbeat.”

I say nothing, and he huffs and then says, “Your heart is beating fast. I’m not sure if it’s out of nervousness because I’m near or because of excitement… or maybe both?”

It was both. I’m nervous because I don’t really want to be around him, but excited because… he’s my mate. And he’s pursuing me. Even though he has obviously done some stupid stuff, he still wants to put in the effort for me. An omega.
