I tossed and turned all night. I just couldn’t get settled, and it didn’t help that Iris was off on her tangent. She kept calling for her mate, and it was driving me crazy. She acts like I don’t want Mark. Actually, I can’t be mad at her. I did act as if he wasn’t what I wanted, but that simply isn’t true.

I grab my phone off the nightstand and see it’s 3:15 in the morning. I know sleep will not be visiting me at all, and I wish I were back home. If I were, I would go for a run and try to tire myself out. I’m visiting a different territory, and it isn’t smart to take off for a run under those circumstances. Not only that, but if I let Iris out, I know exactly where I’d end up. I asked Mark to give me time before he asks that I accept his rejection.

I grab a small towel out of the bathroom and head to the door. I pull the door open, and the shock almost knocks me on my a*s. Standing at my door is Mark, and my voice disappears, my throat becoming dry.

Mark clears his throat, looking everywhere but at me. “Uh, was I disturbing you?”

“N…no. I…I was just going to go work out.”

“It’s pretty early for that, don’t you think?”

nods but doesn’t respond.

uh…..did you have a minute?” I quickly nod, not trusting my voice. “ Maybe I can go to the gym with you. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you while you were on my territory.” I give Mark a small smile and step toward him, closing the door behind me. We turn to the stairs and start to walk. I

I know a lot of people aren’t happy with that fact, but there’s nothing they can do about it. My mates and

bed is cold on either side of me, causing me to sit up and look around the room. My door is thrown open with my mom and Lynn walking in.
