Victoria's pov

Remember when I said I didn't feel different? Well I take it back.

It has been three weeks and everyday my urge for Luka grows, and I feel like I always have to be around him.

The fact that I was back at work didn't make it any better either. I didn't usually mind my working hours, but now they felt way too long.

It hasn't been easy for Luka either. If I thought he was protective and possessive three weeks ago, it was worse now. Last week he almost castrated Lincoln because he kissed my forehead.

I spoke to Velma about my feelings, she said it will stay that way until he completes the mate bond, then it'll become somewhat manageable. But for some unknown reason, he just won't, no matter how much I initiate the mood. It was really getting frustrating.

But we always did other things.

I discovered that I couldn't sleep well without him either. We started sleeping in each other's bed only two days after he marked me. I was contemplating just moving into his room, but I'm so attached to my own room.

It was finally Friday and I was surely looking forward to the weekend. I managed to get my Saturdays off at the hospital, so I had the whole weekend to myself and Luka.

"Victoria! Can we get a clean up at booth seven please" I groaned at Kera's request, dragging myself towards the area.

The teenagers always spilled something that I had to clean up. I loved working here, but I'm not the most patient person. I finally got the stain from the table, and I was about to head to the washroom when something caught my eye. Across the street in the trees I saw eyes, but they weren't just any eyes--they were wolf eyes.

What was he doing here in the open like this? I'm sure he was aware that humans were everywhere. My curiosity got the best of me as I stepped outside, heading in his direction.

I knew it wasn't safe and I wouldn't hear the end of it if Luka or anyone should find out what I was about to do, but I was too curious to let this go.

I knew it wasn't a wolf from Luka's pack, since they only shifted and ran in their lands to reduce the risk of humans seeing them. If this wolf was from his pack, he was treading dangerous waters.

I couldn't help but think that he was watching me, and my suspicions were confirmed as I got closer to him and he didn't budge. He knew me.

It made me wonder if Luka sent a wolf to watch me, but I also knew for sure that he wouldn't have been in wolf form.

As I got closer, he got tenser and I ensured that I walked in slow careful steps, just in case he was dangerous. The night had already fallen, and no one was around. But its amber eyes shone in the darkness as a perfect illuminator.

After crossing the road, I saw him stand up from his earlier sitting state, after which he just casually ran deeper in the woods. Surely I wasn't stupid enough to follow him, so I simply went back inside.

I checked my watch to see that it was 8:30 p.m. My shift ended thirty minutes ago. I went to the washroom to freshen up, grabbed my things then headed to my car after telling the others goodnight. 

I convinced Luka to let me travel alone, since he had visitors coming over today. I knew he must've been calling me though, he wouldn't be Luka if he wasn't.

I checked my phone, seeing five missed calls and a couple text messages from him, just as I assumed.

*Are you sure you don’t want me to come get you? *

*Call me when you're about to leave*

*It's eight o'clock, did you forget to call me?*

*I'm not trying to be pushy. Just let me know that you're okay*

Rolling my eyes at his last message, I decided to call him instead of texting. He picked up at the first ring.
