Chosen By The Moon (Dylan) novel Chapter 381

“Oh, right…” I looked down at my towel cladded body and frowned at the girl now pacing the room. “Why exactly are you here then? As you can see I’m a bit, well, I’m naked.” I gestured dramatically to my attire and prayed the girl would just walk away and leave me be, but instead her now once again worried eyes met mine.

“I’m worried about Olly.” She allowed her finger tops to brush her prominent new mark, that rested on the crook of her neck, and looked up at me through her eyebrows. “He left hours ago with Lewis to check on the border, and he hasn’t contacted me since. We can mindlink now and still I haven’t heard from him, I’m really worried.”

“Nah, don’t be worried. Lewis often goes off to check on the border, sometimes he stays later to catch up with the patrol on that day. I’m sure he and Oliver are probably just talking about you, and how happy he is to have found his mate.” I wasn’t worried at all, it was typical of Lewis to do this, and it’s not like they could contact us with a cell phone, as they were rare to find.

“Your mate is out there right now, and you aren’t worried about him at all?” I shook my head and sat on the end of the bed folding my towel between my legs to attempt some decency.

“I’m a bit worried, but not in the same way as you.” She sat down next to me, uninvited I might add and looked at me sheepishly. “Look, you’re newly marked, right, so that bond is still so new and fresh, that you’re probably longing to be with Oliver, and so your mind as turned that longing into worry because you haven’t heard from him. Just wait another hour, or two. If there’s still nothing, I’ll go to the border myself. Ok?” I patted her on her back awkwardly, and stood up, wrapping the towel tighter around myself.
