There was no mistaking it. This person had to be my fated mate.
I could recognize the thrilling rush of electricity anywhere, not to mention the heat that blossomed across my skin. Even just being in the same room as him felt exhilarating, and his scent was slowly driving me insane.
The mattress dipped further, and I could tell that nearly his entire body weight was on the bed. He was right behind me, which further supported my guess that he had come in through the window somehow, despite all the guards that were keeping watch downstairs.
'Calm down,' I told myself. I had to chant those two words continuously in my head like a mantra.
This person probably meant me no harm, but I didn't dare risk it.
He didn't say anything. Instead, his hand simply grazed my shoulder.
I could feel his hesitance, and I wondered for a second if he was debating whether or not to wake me up. However, he didn't get much time to decide.
"Who's there?!" someone yelled from outside.
