I slide to the floor and wrap my arms around my knees.
Blaze has been quiet, grumpy and I don’t always know what’s going on in his head, but he’s never been rough or mean with me.
I would expect this from the old Aksel but not my Blaze.
I sense his concern before I see him.
Griffyn sits down on the ground next to me and pulls me under his arm.
“What’s wrong, Vixen?”
I rest my head on his shoulder and ignore the tear that slips out.
“I’m fine.”
“I can feel that you are very much not fine. You can’t lie to me, we’re bonded mates.” He waits a moment before adding, “Tell me and I’ll fix it.”
“I’m just overreacting to something Blaze said.”
I swallow around the lump in my throat and push back tears.
“Blaze?” Griffyn asks. He leans back and looks me in the eye.
I nod. “Why am I reacting like this?”
“Mates can trigger intense emotions, Vixen. Nothing is wrong with you, it’s the uncemented bond.”
I take a deep breath and try to listen to him. My brain knows I’m being silly but emotions are still flooding me.
“I never felt like this when Aksel was mean to me.”
Griffyn kisses the top of my head. “You didn’t trust Aksel or have a relationship with him when he was mean to you. Blaze means something to you now.”
“You’re right.”
He’s being wise right now. Of course, he wants to make me smile and tells a joke.
“I’ll find a way to beat Blaze up for you in revenge. Maybe when he’s asleep.”
I laugh and snuggle deeper into his warmth.
“I don’t need revenge. I just need to talk to him when he gets home.”
“He left?” I can hear the surprise in Griffyn’s voice.
“Yes, and he wouldn’t tell me why.” My voice catches on the last word.
I hate that my emotions are so out of control right now.
“You sure this is the bond affecting me? I feel ridiculous.”
“I promise it is. Come on, let’s go back to bed. Blaze can take care of himself and he probably had something silly to do and didn’t want to embarrass himself.”
Griffyn picks me up by the waist and pulls me into his arms.
I lean forward and press a kiss to Griffyn’s lips.
“Thank you for being here for me,” I whisper against his plump lips.
