Marcy's collapse (1)
Gideon was in a predicament.
He could deny Petra, but how can he disappoint his pumpkin-infused beauty when she looked at him with those sparkles in her eyes? But if there was a way to find out who is whose mate earlier than their wolves would allow it, everyone would be doing it. Did Petra come here to make him look incompetent in front of Mindy?
Gideon turned to Petra. "You said that James doesn't feel the bond and that's why he is keeping his distance from Cornelia. What are you expecting me to do about it? Force him?"
Petra shrunk when she realized that Gideon's mood worsened, but she couldn't give up. "I apologize. I know Cornelia is your cousin, but I saw them last night. James was flustered when he saw her. He is always calm and composed, but in front of Cornelia he was like a teenager who met his first crush."
Mindy giggled. "Well, he is a teenager, and she is his crush. Maybe not the first crush but will be his last. We will take care of it."
