I thankfully realised what Kylo was about to do, and quickly forced him back. He planned to mark his mate. I think he had got carried away in the moment. As I pushed him back I had forced the shift too, feeling my bones painfully altering, snapping into place to my human form once more, before Kylo did something Maya may not forgive him nor me for. Mate! Kylo whimpered in my head. You can’t just mark her Kylo, not yet, not without her permission. I scold him. He whimpered sadly. Before saying. She offered her neck. I moved myself away from Sierra, she was whimpering now for her mate too. This had not gone the way I had planned. I hear the familiar snapping and crunching of shifting bones from next to me, as Sierra is pushed back as she shifts and Maya is suddenly in front of me
