His patience has grown thin..............the moment he touched her he recognized her as his. She recognized it also, and he felt her terror at the realization. She wasn't ready. He had hoped by giving her time and space, the intrinsic pull the bond would have over both of them would wear her down and help her to realize this was their destiny.
He had longed for such a bond all his life..............but as he has discovered during his time of introspection, while giving his mate her freedom to come to terms with the bond, Shy's feelings about a true mating bond appear to be much different than his.
Shy's mind is strong...........she has become very good at blocking him during their time apart. He will however get a glimpse of feeling across the bond at times when she is tired.
Anxiety is now the emotion that comes across most strongly, and while fear is still present at times, the fear seems to have abated somewhat, which Gray takes as a positive sign.
It is time. He needs to stop putting his life on hold and convince Shy that the bond is a blessing and not a curse. He has his work cut out for him...............but Gray has always liked a challenge.
These two need to get together...now, before duty calls him away and they miss their chance.
ReplyDeleteI don't imagine she is going to make it too easy on him, even if she knows in the end resistance is futile. She's a stubborn one that Shy, lol.
