~Daliah's POV~

As soon as I stepped into the empty study with the cup of steaming coffee in hand, my skin prickled with awareness. The hairs on my arms stood on edge and I stopped, glancing around the room but finding nothing.

Slowly, I made my way to his desk and after carefully placing the cup of coffee onto the table, I turned to leave. But the feeling persisted. If anything, it seemed to burn me.

Something was watching me. Someone.

But it wasn't fear I felt, it was excitement. A strange warmth spread across my chest as I instantly knew who it was.

My mate.
