I walk into a large room that is open two stories high and over to the sitting area formed by three oversized couches in a semicircle. I sink down next to Adrian as he asks, “How was it?” I sigh as I lean into him. I need the comfort of my mate because I’m freaking out on the inside and know I have to keep it together until later. “I feel like I just had a massage.” He wraps his arm around my shoulders, and I glance at Tori. The only two people a werebear can communicate telepathically with are their mate and their alpha. She speaks in my head. “Warrior, huh?” I glare at her. “What the hell, Tori? Am I supposed to become your trained assassin or something?” “Of course not.” She stands and says, “I’m going to show Ginny the gardens.” When we get outside, I notice the temperature has dropped as evening approaches. Neither of us put on a coat, and I wrap my arms around myself as we walk toward a fountain that is surrounded by bright color.
