Her Miracle Mate novel Chapter 8

Sven looked impressed.

"What? You thought I'd leave the door unlocked for burglars to get in?" I asked him.

Sven just smiled. He was thinking something, but he didn't choose to share it with me.

We walked towards Sven's car, got in, and left for my home in silence. I told him the directions and he swiftly made the turns before we reached my home.

Just as I was about to get out, he held my hand and said, "There's a reason wolves live in packs, Rayne."

Then he brought his face close to mine and whispered in my ear, "Stay safe." He gave me a wink and pulled back with a grin. "Good night Rayne."

I mumbled a 'thank you' and got out, not really paying much attention to anything except those two words.

Stay safe.

I sat up in bed after another dream of the cottage. It was just as unsettling as last time.

Why do I have the feeling something bad is happening and I have no clue? I wish I could find out what is going on or what is going to happen.

You know how your gut feeling tells you something isn't right and then you try finding what's possibly wrong in every little thing.

There's the thing with Sven asking me to stay safe. I mean, was it a general, goodbye gesture or did it mean something more?

Ugh, why is he so creepy?

There's Starke and his packmates who are probably undecided about what to think of me. I can't go on and tell them everything about me. I don't even know if Carson told them about me being a dyrith. They're just going to be more curious as to what I am besides a werewolf. Whether I pose any threats.

And then there's the issue of him. I sighed.

I was sure I'd found him that day. His scent was really strong which could only mean he was really close. And he knew I was there. So why didn't he come to claim me?

Doesn't he want me?

Getting out of bed, I put on my grey fluffy bunny slippers and slowly walked to the washroom.

So comfy though.

I got ready for the day and put on a light pistachio-colored tshirt dress with black leggings and my favorite winter boots.

I grabbed my breakfast and coat and was soon heading to the university. I walked into my Microprocessors lecture and took a seat next to Starke and Hayes.

"Hi guys," I said.

"Hey Rayne," they replied.

I picked my hair up and tied it into a ponytail when I saw Starke staring.

"What?" I said suddenly conscious of myself.

"Nothing. It's nothing," said Starke. Hayes laughed as he looked at his friend. You could tell he trained everyday from his well-built figure underneath his light jacket.
