I wanted to smack Dillion , I wanted to hurt him . It felt like minutes ago that I had to talk Ayla into trusting me enough for one dance . I had mindlinked Dillion to alert all the guards who her bullies were . To make sure that they couldn't get to her . I wanted her to trust me and throwing them out of the ball on the grounds of them hurting my mate would only cause her to freak out again . Everyone could see that something had deeply hurt her . She had practically no self - esteem left . She had a bite mark scar on her right shoulder .

Something that should have healed on a healthy wolf already . That and all that Dillion told me made me think she had been receiving beatings for a long time . Causing her body to be unable to heal scars . So when she visibly relaxed while dancing with me I felt like the happiest wolf on earth . It gave me hope that I would be able to convince her to give me a chance . As soon as she would I would spend all of my time showing her I would be the best mate she could have wished for . Now Dillion's comment about me not wanting her made her run away from me .

Towards Gerald who no doubt would gush about his mate and her moving to our pack . Moving to the palace , losing control , and using my Alpha voice for the second time tonight I ordered him to not speak about me , her first mate or anything even remotely related to it . His short shy answer after she and her friend walked off showed me he had already said something . All I wanted was to bask in the fact that I finally found my mate . I wanted to spend the rest of this evening getting to know as much about her as was humanly possible . Not keep putting out fires that my friends caused .

Not long after Stanley came back , after Dillion made Ayla run away there was a lot of tension . Which Stanley had tried to diffuse by offering to get us drinks . I wasn't really in the mood to talk to either of them but boy could I use a drink . That was the only reason I accepted his offer and not told Dillion to piss off . Even if I didn't say a word to him as we were waiting for our drinks . " I had the chance to explain to her you never saw her in saying you weren't interested in her . Because you wanted to find your fated mate .

It's not much but still " He told me awkwardly giving me my beer . Mom and Dad were watching me , they saw me run after a she - wolf only for me to come back inside to dance with her . Now even as she left my side I did not interact with any of the other's . All I did was stand here watching her . Un- able to take my eyes off her , and unable to just go and talk with her. As I didn't want to overwhelm her . I told her I would let her think about it until tomorrow . I had to keep my promise but this was the first time I wanted to break it . " Nothing is going on she needs some fresh air .
