Zeke looked back at Ava and squeezed her hand in reassurance. He’d still sensed her fear when she woke up, which increased when she realised they were heading into the woods.

“You’ll see

It would have been quicker if he’d shifted and carried her there or even run with her on his back, hur she didn’t seem to want any contact with him at all. Understandable. It had been torture having her rub her body all over him earlier when he could sense how hot for him she’d been. And now she’d only allowed him to hold her hand once they had come deeper into the woods. It was a lot darker under the canopy of the trees, but he knew It wasn’t the darkness that was making her so scared. The woods blended into the cursed forest surrounding the academy, so few people ventured this far. There wasn’t even a path for them to follow, sa Ava was relying on his sight to lead the way.

“I think we can talk here. We’re far enough away from anybody else

Just be patient a little longer,” he said gently.

He helped her step over fallen tree trunks and branches until they came to a small clearing. And through here, the sun shone and bathed everything in its glow

“Here“” Ava asked

He let go of her hand to walk over to a thick tree trunk and picked up a picnic basket he had put behind it when she had been sleeping.

“Almost. You sound like a child asking if we’re there yet,” he grinned as he took her hand again,

He led her just over the ridge at the edge of the clearing and then stopped to watch her reaction. Ava let out a soft gasp as she looked around. He had discovered this lake during his first week at the academy in his first year, and his reaction had been the same. The lake was so deep that it was startlingly blue, and on one end was a small waterfall where a stream fed it. On the other side of the large lake, the stream disappeared into the cursed forest. He’d ventured too close to it once and had felt the dark magic that reminded him every time what this academy was all about

But on this side, with the grassy bank, the ivy and blooming flowers growing over fallen tree trunks and rocky outcrops, it looked like a fairytale. With nothing but the sound of chirping birds and wildlife all around them, it felt like they were the only two people in the world. This was the perfect spot to be alone with his little virgin mate
