Hunting My MateUpdated at Nov 21, 2024, 02:00
It starts again. It’s a feeling I’ve felt for a year or so now, and it comes and goes, though it has been happening more often. It’s almost a pain but more of an overwhelming sense of dread.
I take a deep breath and exhale slowly, and then another. There is nothing wrong. There is nothing to worry about. Is it happening again because I have to meet another pack tomorrow?
“If you’re trying to suppress your aura, you’re doing the exact opposite,” Peter says from behind me.
This is the worst it has ever been, though, and I sit straight up, clutching at my chest as I take deep, heaving breaths.
“Calvin?” Peter asks me, concerned. He eyes me cautiously, taking my hand in his. He doesn’t say anything as he squeezes it.
Finally, it passes, and I take a few more breaths. “Gus said it happened because I get nervous. It started around a year ago.”
Peter shakes his head. “A year? So, while you were still in the bubble?”
“Yeah,” I say awkwardly. “Sorry. I can’t control my Aura now. My wolf tries to help me through them.”
He nods. “He feels helpless?”
“Yes,” I say, surprised that he realized it. “It’s like I’m expecting pain, but it never comes.”
“Do you ever have dreams about it?” he asks.
I think hard about his question. “Sometimes I wake up because of it, but I don’t remember any dreams.”
“I don’t think this happens because you’re nervous,” he tells me, and he’s so cautious about it.
“What is it, then?”
“I think you can feel your mate,” he tells me gently. “I think she’s scared or hurt.”
