When I said I wished my life was less boring, having an orc mate was not what I expected.

The town of Destiny always felt small and suffocating, but now it was just…strange. First, there were the disappearances, and then, the most adorable man I’d ever seen showed up at my job, and then kept showing up. I should be worried, but something about Mahk drew me in, and I found myself not minding my little stalker too much. He was just so innocent, and curious about the oddest things. I wanted to wrap him up in a blanket and never let him go.

If that wasn’t hard enough to believe, he then said I was his mate, like fated mate, but those don’t exist outside of romance novels, do they? I planned to laugh it off, but despite calling Mahk my little stalker, I was the one who couldn’t stay away.
