“No.” She croaks.

“Then how did you get your hands on some? Is it Trey or the other fucking idiot that's growing it?”

“I found it!’ she mutters hoarsely

“GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MATE!" Trey comes charging in, sending me crashing into Neah.

Her blue eyes lock with mine as I land on top of her small frame. She lets out a gasp as my chest hits hers and in that moment. I knew that what Aero is saying is true. There was no doubt about it, she was my mate.
