Ryan's POV
I cannot wait to see my mate tomorrow. And all I can think about is seeing her again. I know I have locked out my Pack members as I do not want them to read my thoughts through the mind link.
I know Mariana. I know she's a troublemaker. I know she thinks she is in love with me, but I know better than being in love with someone like her. She does not believe in the mate bonds, and I cannot blame her as a child. She always saw her parents having affairs outside their bond. She also has not found her mate yet, which makes her stronger in her belief that there is no mate bond.
I do not want to go near Elena. I am afraid that she will influence Elena against me. I hope she did not hear what Elena and I have discussed. I believe everybody knows that I will meet my mate again tomorr
