~Hazel's POV~

Early the next morning, I kissed Dominic goodbye as he left for training again.

After he disappeared from my sight, I laid down and thought about the night before. After June and I had our talk, Constance and Cindy came back and we all caught up. In our catching up, I noticed the change in Cindy. She seemed more depressed than before. She expressed to us that she thinks the bond she and Sparrow had is unrepairable. I could tell by her saying those words,each word cut her deeply. She was such a gentle soul, she didn't deserve someone like Sparrow.

Constance and her mate, Brent have been doing well. No complaints from that couple--those are the kind of updates I love to hear. They made me eat and we laughed and laughed until Dom came back and was ready for a nightcap.

After the bath we took together, I noticed I had more scales on my body, specifically showing on my hands. I was scared. This transition was will happening and I was worried Eila wouldn't be able to stop it in time. Dom called me down and held me until I fell asleep and now here I am staring at the ceiling the next morning.

I'm not going to lie, I'm not really upset about being stuck in this Quarantine bubble. It forced me to sit down somewhere and rest and I was enjoying it.

"You look very relaxed for someone that's turning into a f**king Croc."

I sat up to see who said such a rude as f**k comment. And of course, it was none other than Leander....Oh no...it was Leander, in the flesh. He was in my bubble staring me down as if I were a snack. It was me and him, him and I alone.

Oh s**t.
I didn't even hear him come in. But I shook off his comment and tried my best to calm my breathing. This attraction feeling began but I tried my best to focus.

"It's really early. Aren't you supposed to be in training?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

"I had other matters I wanted to attend to," he said with a smirk. "Besides, I'm naturally gifted in many areas, including fighting. You wanna find out about my other gifts?"

My body shuddered. I cursed my body for responding to him so much. But I had to focus, "What about Dom?"

"He's cool with handling class today. So he'll be busy all day."

I shuddered again, but quickly got myself together, "Actually, I'm glad you came."

His eyebrows furrowed, "Oh yeah?"

I got up from the bed and walked to another section of the bubble, where people couldn't see us. I made sure to stand far away from him. He looked at me with a confused face. I quickly eyed his ensemble of black boots, black sweatpants that....lawd! Let's move on...black shirt that fit nicely around his muscular frame, and his long straight hair that was nicely placed in a low ponytail.

Such a handsome man.
Focus Hazel!

I nervously fiddled with my fingers, "I've been meaning to talk to you about something."

"Well talk to me, baby."

I bit my lip. He's making this so hard for me to do.
Just say it, Hazel. - Ok...

"I know we've never really gotten to talk like this since I've been here. But I thought you should know that, I'm going to accept Dominic's imprint for a lifelong commitment."
