'What if he doesn't want me?' Solenne asked dejectedly. 'I've been trying to catch his eye for weeks, and he won't do anything more than kiss…'
'That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard,' Serai sighed with irritation. 'In case you've forgotten how mating works, it is to have children. Of course, he wants you! That's the whole point of the bond, Solenne.'
Solenne knew her wolf was right, but couldn't help the self-consciousness that had taken root in her chest lately. She had never fancied anyone before, so all the feelings that came with her affection were entirely foreign.
'Instead of worrying about whether he'll take you or not, start picking names for all the pups you're inevitably going to have,' Serai teased.
'Serai!' Solenne whined internally, burying her face into the pillow.
Then, a sudden energy shift made her freeze.
Ruvan.
