23: The Bonding

Anyra

I know we’re bonded the second I open my eyes. The sun’s first light casts rays down on us as we huddle close in the undergrowth of the forest floor. Our naked bodies fit together like two puzzle pieces. As I shift my position, Logan scoots in closer, pulling me into his embrace.

“We need to get back,” I say quietly.

He lets out a soft moan and agrees. I turn over and see his sleep-filled eyes gazing up at me. I smile and bend down to kiss him. Our lips meet, igniting the passions from the night before.

I can’t believe it actually happened. The one thing I told myself a million times would never happen. I found my mate in the most unlikely of places, feeling the Bond even though we had yet to initiate the process, but not we’ve completed that process.

We are Bonded. We are mates, one with each other.
