Helanie:
"How is everything going?" Norman asked as he walked beside me. "Are you nervous?" he added, and I sighed, reluctantly nodding my head. I could always tell him my fears. He was the type I could put my stress and worries on and know he would find a way.
With him, I wasn't the powerful Helanie who was the Alpha Queen of the North. Beside him, I was just a teen who only had 'lalalala' going on in her head.
"Maximus seems healthy. Everyone has been volunteering their blood to him. Tonight will decide most of it," I said with a deep, heavy breath, walking toward the basement with him.
"The whole house has been asked to evacuate for the night," Norman added, and I nodded in appreciation. He had been working nonstop to find a way to avoid me marking Maximus. He didn't say it out loud, but I knew it.
"Norman, are you scared of me marking him? Would it be trouble for our relationship?"
I finally stopped at the bottom of the stairs and turned to him, holding his hand.
