Chapter 21 – Zachary – Bonded Volume 4 

*~*Zachary's POV*~*

It appeared as if Mom was staring off into the distance, lost or seeing something we weren't privy to. Then, I realized she wasn't staring into the distance, but at Saylor; at his right forearm to be exact. I didn't know why she was so transfixed by his arm, so this whole situation was confusing to say the least.

"Mom?" I called her name, trying to bring her back to reality.

"Oh, I guess there is no denying it now." Mom's face was flushed a little, as if she were embarrassed.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, confused by her words. 

"You truly are mate bonded. And you've definitely been 'together'." The way she said that last word made it clear she wasn't just assuming. She knew, but I didn't know how. 

"Huh?" I couldn't process or think enough to say anything else.

"Oh, I get it." Dad chuckled. "You dog." His laugh grew louder.
