The Caught Luna novel Chapter 10

"Not to be rude or anything," I said quietly not looking up at him while I played with my hands, "but why do you care so much." I looked back up at him. I could tell by the certain look in his eye that he was taken back.

"It's my job to protect you." What he said came out more like an order than something sincere. Almost as if he were trying to convince himself of what he were saying.

"You've known me for like three days. Two of them I was asleep." I shot back without really thinking. I wasn't mad at all, more like confused. I barely knew this man and now he's made it his mission to protect me.

"And your point is?" He asked. He genuinely looked confused. If I'm being honest, he seemed more confused than I was.

"I don't know," my voice was soft once again as I looked back down at my hands. I did know. I just didn't know how to say, 'hey buddy. You don't know me. You know of me and that's just because your little blonde-ultimate fighter-wolf-chick attacked and kidnapped me bringing me here. You don't know me!' in a nice way.

"Don't be so afraid of me," Kieran's voice seemed slightly angry but more frustrated than anything. He didn't yell it, but it came out loud enough to make me flinch away. He groaned caused me to look up at him.

I couldn't help but be worried that he was upset.

"This should not be this hard," he muttered dragging his hand through his tousled, dark brown hair.

"What shouldn't be?" He looked up at me with those beautiful green eyes of his. A darkness swam within the depths of them. It was a sickening darkness that I, of course, pushed away and focused on the inviting green that surrounded it.

"If you knew what you were this wouldn't be such a difficult concept for you to understand," Kieran stated. I arched an eyebrow.

"I understand that my wolf is healing I just worried that I was starving or-"

"No," he interrupted, "the mate bond." Kieran didn't seem to like whatever the mate bond was by the way his tone changed. I wasn't clueless, I knew somewhat of what a mate was.

A mate was like a friend to a person, but I'm guessing in our case it was a bit more. I assumed that considering wolves have mates that werewolves did, too. But, I didn't quite understand what the mate bond was in this scenario.
