Mason POV
Heather suddenly appeared behind me in the bedroom. I was in shock and, at first, I did not believe she was there. I had to touch her and twirl her around, to hear her laughter, which helped me believe she was here with me. I could not reach the door and lock it fast enough when she informed me that we were going to get mated now, no longer waiting for the trial to be over. I felt her urgency and knew that those who took her might have followed her here and could arrive at any time. Was the whole castle in danger? Heather's voice was urgent, so I guess mating comes first. I don't want her taken again without being mine.
In my haste to strip and get back to her, I almost tripped and fell onto the floor, because of my dam foot that refused to come out of the bottom of my trousers
