CHAPTER 12: Who Are You and Who Am I?

Previously:

"Hey now! I could kick your ass if I wanted to I'm not as weak as you might think! You're lucky I let you get away with half of what you did! As punishment, you're carrying me back!" She says, wrapping her arms around my neck with a pout, and pushing her chest up towards my face giving me a fantastic view.

"Yes, my treasure is very strong. I will gladly carry you back to the cave." Trying to pacify her anger with a massive smile on my face as my eyes are glued to her chest pushing up against me.

As I begin to walk back towards the cave she leans into my embrace and closes her eyes. <<My treasure I too unguarded. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, but she agreed to become my mate like it was nothing. She's so innocent and pure I bet that's why she lost all her males, and said that beforehand. Do not worry treasure. I will keep you safe rest now.>> I think placing a soft kiss on the top of her head not wanting to disturb her sleep and we make our way back to the cave.

Astrid POV:

I wake up lying on the hard ground. Sitting up and looking around I'm laying on the ground by my cottage. <<What the hell? I thought I snagged myself a hottie. Did he just bring me back and then leave?>> Before I can think of any strange scenarios Forest walks into the cave with a large animal carcass over his back. He notices me awake drops the dead animal and runs towards me.

"Treasure. You're awake! I was unable to enter your hut as something was preventing me. I figured you might be hungry so I lay you down here and hunted that for you." He points towards the dead deer lying by the cave entrance.

"Oh yeah sorry, I forgot to tell you about the barrier. I was just so comfortable I passed out on the way here I guess." I said while rubbing my eyes.

"Well, you were only asleep for about two hours or so. You're quite cute when you sleep. You talk in your sleep you know that?" He asks giving me a sassy smirk.

"Oh no I didn't say anything weird did I?" I say exasperated. <<Last time someone called me out of my sleep talking it was Evelyn and she told me I kept saying 'The potato is in the garage'. I still don't remember what that dream was about.>>

"No, it was mostly just you mumbling words I didn't understand. But what did you mean by barrier?" He asks while tilting his head.

"Oh well, I guess I should tell you this but you have to promise not to tell anyone. Okay?" I ask eyeing his reaction. He grabs my hands pulls me into his lap and says

"Astrid, you can tell me as much as you want or nothing at all. It can be as insignificant or as important as you want it to be. You decide what to tell and when to tell. I will not pressure you into telling me, and I promise I will keep any of your secrets."

I involuntarily clench my thighs and I just stare at this man. <<Is it bad that I want him to disrespect the hell out of me right now? I mean the respect and understanding he just showed me is lightyears ahead of the BOYS back on earth. So I don't know why but my brain wants this man to absolutely destroy me.>> I blink a few times and I come out of my dirty thoughts and say,

"Well I appreciate that, but I think you might have broken my brain. Anyway, what I wanted to tell you was I'm a witch." I pause and wait for his reaction.

He looks at me a little lost and says "Treasure, what is a witch? Is that what beast you are? I've never heard of a witch is that why you don't have any visible beast features?"
