A walk with a werewolf (3)

Author's note: this is from Alex's point of view

I was genuinely surprised when Seraphina suggested that we go into the forest.

She didn't fall for Lazarus, did she? I mean… I would like that she did, but the experience of Aldus conducting experiments is still painfully etched into my body.

Also, going at it in the forest didn't seem like her style. I assessed her as a girl who needs wining and dining and slowly winning her over with patience, flowers, and sweet-talking. Something seemed off, and I couldn't put my paw on it.

Lazarus didn't imagine it. I also feel the immense pull toward the girl, but other than wishing she was mine, there were no sparks that would confirm she was our mate. It's not that I know how a mate should feel, but I remember stories that when it happens, you just know, and with Seraphina… I didn't.
