Tina's P O V

I started arranging the clothes he bought after dinner, happy that I have new clothes to wear. They all look expensive. I arranged them nicely at the two sides of the closet, not bothering to check them out.

I believe anything he gets for me to wear is good.

He told me during dinner that Matthew will be coming over tomorrow or the next. It'll be a full house, I'm somewhat nervous to be truthful.

These are the people I served, people of higher rank. And Matthew once interrogated me too for some unknown reason, now that I think of it, it might be Damon who sent him to interrogate me after suspecting of our mate bond.

Everything is making sense to me now. When he moved me to his wing to clean for him. It was because of this very reason.

“What are you thinking about that you are so lost in thought?” I heard Damon's voice and flinched, startled.

“N… nothing,” I mumbled.

“Nothing?”

He just finished showering, I'm surprised at the number of times he showers daily.

He must love it a lot.

And he hasn't even changed into proper wear, he is still tying his towel around his waist. Water drips down his face from his hair as he stares at me closely.

“Yeah, nothing.” I shook my head.

He sighs and moves past me into the closet to fish out something to wear. Knowing that he is about to change, I run out from the room to the short passage to wait it out.

The door opens almost immediately, and he pulls me back inside the room and locks the door.

“What…?” I stare at him, shocked by his actions.

“You have seriously got to stop going out when I'm about to change. How long will you continue acting that way? You are my mate, for fûck sake!” He sounds frustrated.

“I… I haven't watched a man dress up before.” I defended myself.

“I'm not just any man to you, Aria.” He grabs my hand and placed it on his chest.

“I. AM. YOUR. MATE.” He spelt out each word. Eyes flicking as his wolf struggles with him to come out.

I gulp down my saliva and took a step back, scared that his wolf might come out.

He holds my hand firmly and hugs me to himself before fixing his head at the crook of my neck to inhale my scent.

“Stop it.” He grunts.

“My wolf is annoyed. He wants out, and once he focuses himself out, he won't hesitate to mark you. And seeing that you are not ready for this, I don't think you'll like to be marked now. So please don't do this to me again, okay?” His voice becomes softer as he spoke.

“Okay,” I mumbled, my heart still racing fast due to his wolf that almost came out.

He disengages from me and took two steps back.

“I'll love to sleep naked beside you, so I don't need this.” He removes the towel, and it drops to the floor.

My eyes widen as I take in his large manhood.

“Okay,” I shook my head, not knowing what else to say. I walk ran to the bed and lie down at the end.

I feel him also come up to the bed beside me and lie down.

I relax happily for the fact that he isn't pulling me to himself tonight, but he shocks me by doing just that.

He covers us with the duvet and dresses me so that my head will be below his as he inhales my scent.

Maybe it's not him. Potentially, it's his wolf that needs this.

I'll grant him this then, but I'm very uncomfortable knowing that he isn't wearing any cloth. Will I sleep well tonight? I doubt that.

I woke up the next morning feeling tired, I rolled about on the bed but still couldn't bring myself to get up.

What is it? I hope I'm not sick.

I brought my hand to my neck to feel my temperature to find my body hot.

Oh. I'm sick.

“Dam… Damon.” I mumbled lazily looking around the room. The door burst open, and he comes in with a small tray.

He helps me sit up and then offers me a cup, which I presume is tea.

I sip the content of the cup and instantly starts feeling better.

“What is that?”

“It's a drug, specially made for our beasts. Your beast is still recognizing and accepting mine, so you'll fall sick a lot before your beast fully accepts mine.”

“Really?” I probe as I sit up properly.

“Is your beast making you fall sick too?” He doesn't look sick to me.

He smiles and drops the cup.

“No, it only happens to your species.”

“My species?” I implored, confused.

“No, I mean the she-wolves. It only happens to you guys.” He briefly explains himself.

“Oh, so you prepared it down for me already?” I smiled, happy that he cares for me.

“No, not exactly. Your hot body woke me up this morning. I saw your claws elongating and knew what could happen if you woke up, so I rushed out and got the ingredients for you.”

“I'll keep the ingredients in that locker there. Whenever I'm not close by, and it starts, just boil water and soak a bag from that ingredient in it. I'll teach you later on how to properly use it. But whenever your body starts becoming hot, use it.

And have in mind that it might start at any time, it might start in the evening so be prepared okay?”

I pouted and bobbed my head.

“I will.” I dragged my feet down to the floor and stood before checking my temperature to feel it return.

“Thank you,” I whispered and ran into the bathroom.

I want to scream out loudly in excitement, but I'm holding it in.

I never thought that he'll be so caring. My body is inching me to go to him and kiss him on the lips, but I'm shy to do that.

After brushing and washing my face, I step out to see him pacing about in the room.

“Hi,” I whispered, not sure why he is like this.

He stops his pacing and walks up to me.

“I've been waiting for my kiss.” He pulls me close to him and wrap his arms tightly around my waist, his fast movement was unexpected, and I ended up getting shocked.

I stared up at him with hot cheeks, waiting for his next line of action.

He leans close to me and joins our forehead together but don't kiss me.

“Aren't you going to do it?” He mumbles.

“I… I…” I don't know what to do. I can't kiss him, I don't have the guts. I just thought of it, but I know I can't do it.

I lowered my eyes, feeling embarrassed. His closeness is making my body hot all over again, but I can tell this isn't the sickness I treated this morning.

He lifts one of his hands holding my waist and places it on my cheek.

“I'm going to help you, you'll kiss me. You'll do it yourself.” I took a deep breath at his words, not sure.

Then he lifted my chin until my lips is touching his soft edible ones.

My lips are touching his. He leaves it there for me to continue, but I don't move my lips. I feel so nervous now and could love to hide away from him.

Concluding in my mind to run, I pulled away from his grip and ran out of the room, I climbed down the stairs and got to the sitting room.

My heart can't stop beating fast. I wipe the beads of sweat that has formed on my forehead before walking to the sofa and taking a sit.

I sat there for close to 30 minutes before getting up and summoning up the courage to face him whatever it takes.

I climbed the stairs back up and stood in front of the door. The door opens abruptly and I jerk back.

“Come take a shower and get dressed. I'm taking you to a Chinese or Japanese restaurant, whichever one you pick, for breakfast today.”

I got into the room, still wary of him but don't hesitate to go into the bathroom.

I sat beside him in the car he rented to use for the main time, I learnt that even tho he is staying far away from him. He still has a lot of work to handle. He is not free, but what I'm not sure of is who sends the work to him.

Does Matthew send the work to him? He'll be coming over today. Will he continue getting those things he has to work on?

He took a sharp turn and finally entered a Chinese restaurant. I picked his first option because I thought he wants it too.

Next time we'll go to a Japanese and then a French restaurant.

I smile, knowing fully well that this is the first time I'll be tasting a dish that isn't ours. And I'll also be seeing many humans.

He said humans will be the ones attending to us.

He parked the car and we came down. He waits for me to get to him, and I did.

He looks over my outfit and nods his head, he has specially picked the outfit for me.

I don't love its design, but it's quite fancy. It's a purple dress, long but has a splitting from the down to my thigh, thereby revealing my lap.

He holds my hands firmly and leads me into the highly decorated restaurant.

The waitress rushes up to us the moment we step in. I'm aware that they are waitresses because it's written on the tag they are wearing, their names are also written beside it.

“Hi sir, welcome.” A waitress greeted, causing me to look down at her name tag.

Betty? Her name is Betty? Oh, please.

“Hi ma'am,” she also greets me with a beautiful smile, but I find it hard replying to her greeting.

But she doesn't seem like a bad person, tho.

They led us to a sit far away from where the others sat as Damon requested before dropping the orders on the table for us.

Damon picked up the order but ended up passing it to me.

I raised a brow at him curiously.

“Pick out anything you want. Remember I'm treating you,” he reminded.

I pick up the menu, but all the meals seem foreign to me.

“I… I don't know what to pick” I revealed, feeling embarrassed once again.

He shook his head like it was nothing and collected the list back.

“All of these.” He pointed to a long roll without even checking it.

The male waiter waiting on us smiled before leaving with the order.

They started bringing the meals after a couple of minutes and soon the big round table got filled with dishes.

I looked up at him with a confused face.

Who does he expect to eat all these?

He notices my stares and moves his chair closer to mine before whispering.

“I want you to taste as many dishes as you can, and remember, I want you to add weight before we go back home.” I blinked my eyes repeatedly after his words before gulping down my saliva.

“Okay.” I could only mumble.

We started eating, and I started with the dish which won't require me to use chopsticks, I don't know how to use them and I can't embarrass myself in front of all these humans who occasionally stare at us.

I followed his lead as he tasted some dishes. I am completely eating this.

“Mr Damon.” A voice called loudly, and we were forced to look at the owner.

“Hi, I never imagined running into you here again.” A lady putting on a very short dress that is barely covering her up said, then she started approaching our table.

Who is she?
