Nerina's POV
"Is this your norm to kidnap pretty damsels?" I asked teasingly, as Liam seemed to be a bit nervous.
"No, not really. And you're not pretty..." he answered, opening the truck's door for me to get in, and closing it without another word.
My heart sank... I would have thought that at least my mate would see me as pretty or a bit attractive.
"See, told you our mate doesn't really want us," Zira commented sarcastically, adding more fuel to the fire.
"You are more than beautiful..." Liam said as he got into the driver's side of the truck.
That was unexpected... did I hear him correctly? Did he just say..?
Zira rolled her eyes at that and an unwilling warmth crept around my cheeks and I turned my gaze away, looking out the window... Was I blushing? I have never before..!
