I beamed at my mate proudly. I knew she could do it but I was happy she finally went through with it.
“I knew you could do it, I’m so proud of you.” I said to her and she looked like she was fighting a smile, I chuckled at her. “Your mom would be proud to.” She smiled proudly and nodded to herself, glancing down with a blush. I went and grabbed the salve on the table next to Aria, holding it up and looking at her inquisitively.
“Want any help with this?” I asked and Aria shook her head.
“No, I got it.” She said cooly and I chuckled at her again before grabbing her arm to apply the salve. She tensed under my touch before relaxing into it.
“Where else does it hurt?” I asked lowly and she shivered. She shook her head and I noticed the way her eyes followed my hands as they worked. My mate was adorable, trying to deny the way she felt about me. I remembered how she was while in the north. It would be so much more bearable there with her. She could make any place better.
