   Beau POV

"Mira? "I asked as I waited for dinner to heat back up in the microwave. Her eyes, which were focused on the marble grey counters, looked up to me for a few seconds. Before they went back down.

"Y-Yes?" She stuttered, her fingers twisting together. I watched this action, my wolf stirring within me

'We need to break that habit. "My wolf commented.

'She's always been that way. 'I replied, taking the heated plate of food out and placing it in front of her.

I studied her for a moment as she pulled it closer. She stared at it, not moving to grab anything. "Eat." I demanded. She jumped, but unlike her previous selves she didn't do what I told her to do. Not right away at least.

She slowly picked up her fork and stuck it in a green bean. She put it in her mouth and chewed slowly. After she was finished chewing she set her fork down and began to twist her fingers. I knew she was uncomfortable by my eyes on her.

It was quiet for a few minutes and then I came closer to her seat. "How was your day? "I asked softly. She shrugged and continued her nervous actions.

She stuttered as she mumbled a reply, "I-It was good, "her fingers continuing that awful twisting.

'Remember the ring?' My wolf chimed in. I growled at the memory, causing her to jump.

'Shut up. 'I hissed, watching as she picked at the chicken. I watched as she took a piece and ate that slowly. She gripped the fork, her eyes still down and my eyes on her. She ate the food, suddenly starting to eat quickly.

I leaned against the counter, pleased to see her enjoying the food. So was my wolf as he howled in happiness.

A moment later I noticed she'd stopped eating." Why did you stop eating? I asked. She shrugged, her gorgeous eyes focusing on twirling her fork.

'She's embarrassed. 'My wolf sighed. I got a feeling of sadness and I cleared my throat.

'Don't do this.' I growled at him. He did this last time, made me feel things I was afraid of feeling. By now, I'd hoped he had realized that when he did this he got her killed.

"You don't to be embarrassed." I assured, my wolf willing me to come closer to her. She looked up at me and then her fingers twisting, she gave me a sideways smile.

My heart pounded in my chest and I was just weak enough for him to take control over me and come closer to her. He touched her cheek and for a few seconds I grabbed control. Her skin was soft and smooth and I wanted to feel it again. But he grabbed the control again, as her breath hitched. I knew she felt it. The sparks. The feeling you only get when you have touched your mate.

He always did this. He took control and made things happen. Things that usually ended with her dead.

With her death in mind, I quickly regained control. He growled. 'Stay away from her. 'I hissed as I made the counter the only thing separating us.

My wolf growled again. 'Weak.' He hissed. I noticed her eyes on me, narrowed with her head tilted.

"Finish eating." I said, she looked at the plate and then pushed it away.

She considered my eyes, to my surprise. "Do you want me happy?" She asked, carefully, but without a stutter.

Ignoring her question, I grabbed her wrist and walked her toward the door. "We have a long day tomorrow Mira."

She tried to twist her hand loose and when she was successful I growled. I was at a sort of lost now. She never was defiant and she'd never questioned me about my feelings for her. It was always as if she'd known.

I took a deep breath and stared her in the eyes. She looked right back. I was I shock as I noticed the lack the fearful expression she usually wore around me. "Please?" She asked.

I sighed and took hold of her hand, intertwining our finger. This time it wasn't my wolf. I wanted to give her reassurance. "Mira. I know you have many questions and many answers I do have. But there is a time for everything." I sighed." This isn't the time. I need you to trust me and believe me when I say that I will explain to your things."

I saw two emotions on her face as we stared at each other. Understanding and confusion. She nodded her eyes and I wondered just how well she understood. " Yes, sir King Beau." She said clearly.

"I will escort you to your room." I announced, dropping her hand. I walked her to door of the kitchen. Feeling eyes on me and as I turned to shut the door I noticed a note that read,

'She will be watched.'
