Destined Mate

His lips pulled into a thin line. “And why wouldn’t you?”
Biting back a grin, she ducked under his arm and out of his embrace. “Because you need to work for it.” Before he could respond she took off at full speed in the direction of the mansion. He was much stronger than she was and also incredibly fast in his human form. But she was fast too and could outrun him if she had a good enough start.
Eventually they’d do everything she’d been fantasizing about the past few days he’d been gone, but the chase was all part of the fun. This time when she ran, she knew he’d catch her. That knowledge gave her a security she’d been searching for her whole life. She just hadn’t realized it. Knox was her mate and she knew without a doubt that he’d always be there for her.
