Zoe’s POV
It was amazing to be out of the cell finally. I got to take a shower for the first time in years and it was amazing. Normally I took a bath, but oh how I missed a shower. Sharing a bed with Alex made me nervous at first. What would he be expecting of me? I was relieved that he wasn’t expecting anything of me at the moment. He wanted to get to know me first. I didn’t expect him to want to learn about me before he decided to claim me. He was treating the mating bond like the beginning of a real relationship.
Yesterday, learning about Alex was great, and sharing myself with him felt good. I hadn’t really let anyone see the real me for such a long time. I hadn’t let anyone in to see me or be a friend. I felt like this was a breath of air I had been holding since I was thirteen.
