The Girl He Marked by Laila Callaway

Book 1 Chapter 36

Because I just know, it’s like an innate feeling. I’m twenty-six, people find their mates from the age of sixteen sometimes before that, so technically I’m ten years behind, that does a lot to us, I haven’t been my self recently You see, if someone is without their mate for too long, it makes them crazy. I’ve been going in sane the last few weeks. I’ve been okay in the daytime, but at night, my Beta has had to step in as I’ve been unable to fulfill my Alpha duties because all I could think about was finding you, he explains and I sit quiet in taking it all in and trying desperately to understand.

Give her back, you dick!’ Myra shouts and Eli growls next to me. Before I know it, I’m thrown over his shoulder and experiencing a major case of déjà vu.

Eli takes off in a sprint in the opposite direction from Myra and my friends.

Are we really going to play chase?

Eli, put me down! They’re my friends! I shout, drumming my fists on his back, although I don’t really know why I do it when I know it will be no use.
