Joanna's POV:
My stupid mate had been acting strange ever since he saw my wolf form.
He used to avoid me all the time but was pestering me now.
Something seemed wrong.
Harry's enthusiasm made me uncomfortable. I wanted to stay away from him, but he was stalking me everywhere without leaving my side even for a minute.
I sat in the vehicle and closed my eyes to rest. Harry was murmuring the entire time. After a while, he fell silent.
I waited for him to speak again, but he didn't. I wasn't accustomed to his silence yet, so after a moment's thought, I asked, "Why did you speak for me?"
"I promised your secret's safe with me. Don't worry. I will keep my word," Harry whispered reassuringly.
I opened my eyes and glanced at him. His face broke into an ecstatic grin.
Then, he took out a phone from his pocket. "You left it in the cave just now. Fortunately, I found it."
Only then did I realize it was indeed my phone.
I'm not social, so I seldom interacted with people or used my phone. Sometimes, it would stay in my pocket the entire day.
I took the phone and thanked him.
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure," Harry whispered. He didn't dare to look at me. He was playing with his fingers to hide his shyness. After a while, he suddenly leaned closer to me and said, "So, we are mates..."
'Huh? So what?'
"What are you trying to say?" I asked in surprise.
"It's... it's just... Don't you think it's amazing that we are mates?" Harry blinked and looked at me with expectant eyes.
