"What!" Kimbra surprised herself with her own voice.
Tyvor chuckled.
"That is why I brought you here. I guess technically you are Corbin's mate since you are not really a werewolf, so you won't feel the intense connection till he claims you." Tyvor spoke calmly.
"But he's so mean to me?" Kimbra tried to change his mind.
"I told him to annoy you so you wouldn't be able to tell how much he wanted you. It's hard for him to not be with you, but I told him to wait till you were older." He chuckled a little. "I guess now he can have you." He leaned back in his chair and stretched.
Kimbra felt shocked and a little fearful. Corbin was rough and mean. How could he possibly love her so much?
"It's ok to be a little scared, but if you try to reject him, it will only be worse for you." She just nodded.
"You may go Kimbra."
Kimbra hid out in her room, not wanting to go into town anymore. She wondered when Tyvor would tell Corbin. Would he come barging in here or would he wait for her to leave?
She changed out of the nice jeans and shirt she had been wearing into sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt. She planned to pretend to be sick when Thorton came to tell her to come to dinner. She curled up in her bed under the covers. She dozed off, avoiding her own mind.
Loud knocking woke her. Rolling over she called out, "open."
The door opened slowly and she looked up to see Corbin standing in the doorway. He didn't have his normal smirk on his face, he looked at her cautiously and gently.
"I'm not hungry." She turned her back to him. She heard the door close and his steps toward her bed. She felt it sag as he sat down on the edge near her.
"I know that you know. It's ok, Kimbra." He rested his hand on her side and she jumped, but he didn't move it.
She turned to face him and he sensed she was scared.
"I know your surprised, scared, shocked, all that stuff. It's going to be alright. I've waited so long for you to know. All I want is to hold you, kiss you, claim you." He made her sit up and he held her shoulders so she would face him. "I love you."
She lifted her hand to rest it on his arm. She stared into his gold eyes and felt a little safer. He briefly smiled at her then went back to serious.
"I'm going to claim you tonight. I can't take any chances with the Vince guy around."
"What are you going to do?" She felt nervous asking, but she had to know.
"Don't worry." He kissed her forehead. "I'll be back after dinner."
