*Anna's POV*

I feel a strange sense of relief and happiness as I wake up. It's not like I'm not happy waking up in my mate's arms again, but I know that the emotions I'm feeling aren't mine.

Adam pulls me closer and another wave of relief washes over me. I can't help but smile and open my eyes, meeting Adam's blues.

"Morning." I whisper.

Adam beams and kisses my forehead, "Good morning." Adam places his head into the crook of my head and a wave of relief washes over me, "I was so afraid I'd never wake up next to you ever again."

I smile at him, "I knew you'd find me."

I feel sadness course through my body, "I should have realized sooner."

I shake my head, "You couldn't have known, Adam. I'm here now, we're ok."

Adam just pulls me closer to him, "I am never letting you go again."

"Well, it would be nice if I could go to the bathroom. I have to pee." I tell him with a sheepish smile.

Adam tightens his hold on me before sighing and letting go, "Be fast."

I pause for a moment wondering whether or not to tell him about his possessiveness but already figured Adam would be clingy for the next few days, so I let it slide. I rush to the bathroom and do my business. While there, I pick up one of Adam's shirt and put it on, since I was completely naked.

When I return to the bedroom, I take a moment to appreciate my mate. He's completely naked but covered from below the waist down. I shamelessly stare at Adam's chest before I feel a wave of satisfaction, lust and mischief run through me. I glance up to Adam and for the first time I realize that it's his feelings.

I reach my hand up to my heart, as if that is where the feelings come from. Adam smiles, "It's interesting, right?"

"I kind of forgot we'd be able to feel each other's emotions." I told him truthfully.

Adam's smile widens, "I love it."

I feel Adam's love through the bond, and it makes me feel all fuzzy inside. "I love it too."

I sit down on the bed again but before I can lay back into Adam's arms, he stops me and raises his shirt slightly.

I blink in confusion before I feel Adam's concern for me, and I realize that he's checking the wound on my stomach. 

He didn't bandage it back up after all the excitement from last night so it's on full display. It has healed quite a lot, but still looks nasty and red.

"Do you think we should go to a doctor for that?" Adam asks.

I shrug, "I don't know. It doesn't look infected or anything."

"We'll have a healer look at it when we get to the pack." Adam says and from his tone I know there is no room for argument, not that I mind.

"When do we have to get to the pack?" I ask.

Adam shrugs, "When we get ready."

I nod and check the time. "Holy shit! Adam it's 10:30!"

"We haven't slept well in days. I think they'll forgive us for sleeping in." Adam says with an amused expression.

"The entire place might be in chaos!" I exclaimed as I jumped from the bed and started picking out clothes.

"Anna, Will and Jace are taking care of everything right now. I think two Beta's will do the job just fine." He says as he gets out of bed and stops me from heading towards the bathroom. He instead engulfs me in a hug and kisses my mark.
