Hearts On Fire
Chapter 11:

Meanwhile the next day in Amaya’s bedroom

In Azar’s head: She's beautiful. I can't believe she decided to give me a chance. Not after what she had to go through in her past. I could stay standing here for years just watching her sleep but sadly I need to go. Some of the pack members are coming today for training and it will help me blow off some steam. Am I boiling since our kiss? Maybe she's cold sleeping like this? Why didn't she cover herself? She smells more delicious than yesterday. I should cover her. For her sake and mine. I'll lose it if I can tell you looking at her in this little outfit of hers.

Azar: “I'll see you later, doll.”

In Amaya’s head: Was Azar in my room or was it a dream? Maybe he was checking on me. I don't remember putting this cover on me last night. This is the first time I've even seen it. He really did come to my room and he made sure that I wasn't cold. He tucked me in. that sounds like him. So protective. Stop it Amaya, you don't even know him. This mate bond for sure. I don't feel sick, I was sure I would catch a cold. Especially how I was feeling last night, but no. At least it doesn't look like it. I still feel like my temperature is rising. I'm flustered. Maybe I do have a fever after all. I'm so hungry, I need something to eat. Maybe there's something left for me in the kitchen. I really wouldn't like to try to cook anything and burn the whole house down. (in the kitchen)

Amaya: “Hey!! Leave some for me, I'm hungry too.”

Miranda: “I have a lot of calories I need to put back.”

Amaya: “You're forgiven. Your mark is still fresh. It should be completely healed by now.”

Miranda: “It's from this morning. Mate’s can mark each other as many times as they want and trust me…you wanna do it over and over again.”

Amaya: “Ooouuuu. I didn't know that. Can Azar mark me?”

Miranda: “I really don't know.”

Amaya: “Because I for sure can't mark him.”

Miranda: “I don't know how it'll work for you guys. Since you're human and everything.”

Amaya: “What's the point of being mates then if we can't mark each other? Wolves mark each other as a symbol of their union for life and sign that they belong to each other. How will we show that we belong together?”

Miranda: “Adorable how you wanna claim him. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll replace a way.”

Amaya: “Why are you alone?”

Miranda: “Thorne and Azar went to train with some other pack members.”

Amaya: “I have an idea.”

Miranda: “Oh God. You getting an idea never ends well.”

Amaya: “So true.”

Miranda: “Just tell me.”

Amaya: “Come on, it's not bad at all.”

Miranda: “Amaya, speak!!”

Amaya: “We can go and see how they are doing.”

Miranda: “Mhm, I don't think they want to be disturbed.”

Amaya: “And since when do I care? On the other hand we can train too.”

Miranda: “I don't have the energy to train.”

Amaya: “And I can train with them.”

Miranda: “I don’t think Azar will like that.”

Amaya: “We’ll see when we get there. Do you know where to replace them?”

Miranda: “I can mindlink Thorne and ask.”

Amaya: “No. I want it to be a surprise.”

Miranda: “I can track his scent.”

Amaya: “Perfect. I'll go get dressed then we can go.”

Miranda: “You didn't even eat!!”

In Mirnada’s head: Why do I have a feeling she'll get us into trouble? (in the bathroom)

In Amaya’s head: Azar’s mom left so many clothes for me. I love them all but I'm gonna see him and surprise him, let's put on something nice. Perfect. (on the balcony)

Miranda: “Finally.”

Amaya: “Perfection takes time.”

Miranda: “You look beautiful, bub. I've never seen you in a hotter workout outfit. Is that another surprise for Azar?”

Amaya: “You can bet on it. Let’s go!!”

Miranda: “Okay. (in the woods training)”

Azar: “Next. You're getting better, but still…try harder next time. Next!! Amaya?”

Thorne: “I could smell Mir so I went to bring them so they didn't wander the woods.”

Azar: “What are you guys doing here?”

Amaya: “I wanted to see your training.”

Jake: “Well, hello there beautiful. I could show you how to train.”

Azar: “What did you say? STOP LOOKING AT MY MATE!! (Azar chokes Jake). She's my mate. Look at her again or try to flirt and I'm going to snap your little neck. The same goes for all of you.”

Blaise: “SHE’S MINE!!”

Jake: “I’m sorry, I didn't know. She doesn't have the mark.”

Azar: “Run!! What the hell are you doing here looking like that?”

Amaya: “Looking like what?”

Thorne: “We’ll leave you guys alone.”

Azar: “The majority of the pack doesn't know you're my mate and you come here looking stunning. Of course all eyes will be on you and I can't stand that. I can't stand someone watching you like that. They were eating you with their eyes.”

Amaya: “They didn't know. You heard what the guy said. I don't carry your mark.”

Azar: “Because I don't even know if I can mark you. You're human. You don't heal like wolves. What if I end up hurting you?!”

Amaya: “I know you would never hurt me on purpose.”

Azar: “I'll end up killing someone if something like this happens again.”

Amaya: “I don't know what's wrong with me but it's hot when you call me yours.”

Azar: “Oh really?”

Amaya: “Yes. It made me…hot.”

Azar: “I can tell. Your scent gives you away.”

Amaya: “You can notice that?”

Azar: “I do and your reaction made me happy but not really helping the situation at all.”

Amaya: “You have it all under control, don't worry. See…you're already more calm.”

Azar: “Your touch has that effect on me.”

Amaya: “Then I'm glad and you don't need to think of the others. I came here for you and Blaise of course. And I thought that maybe we can train together.”

Azar: “What do you mean?”

Amaya: “Miranda has been trying to train me to fight and I must say, I'm making great progress. But now that she has her mate I don't wanna disturb her too much. I thought that maybe you would like to help me out.”

Azar: “You don't have to be scared of your family anymore. You have me now.”

Amaya: “You don't know them. I'm sure they're searching for me and I wanna be ready for the day they replace me. I know I'll never stand a chance against them but I'm not going down without a fight.”

Azar: “No one’s gonna hurt you anymore. I'll kill for you and I'll die for you.”

Amaya: “Please don't say that.”

Azar: “You're my mate. It's my duty to love you and protect you.”

Amaya: “I don't wanna be a burden to you.”

Azar: “You're not.”

Amaya: “Train me then.”

Azar: “I don't know how.”

Amaya: “Like you train with your other pack members.”

Azar: “That's not possible.”

Amaya: “See, you're underestimating me like everyone else but I became a lot stronger since I came here. I think it has something to do with me meeting you. It doesn't matter. I'll replace someone to teach me. You don't wanna help me but I'm sure the others will.”

Azar: “No one is allowed to even come near you. You'll be the death of me. Only a few minutes ago you were trying to call me down and now you're provoking me on purpose.”

Amaya: “Maybe I like provoking you.”

Azar: “Don’t.”

Amaya: “Why? What are you gonna do about it? Stop fighting it.”

Azar: “You have no idea what you're doing to me and that little outfit you chose…”

Amaya: “You like it?”

Azar: “I love it.”

Amaya: “So? Will you be training me?”

Azar: “Yes. But tomorrow, I'm too tense now.”

Amaya: “Maybe I can help you with that.”

Azar: “You're so naughty, little flame.”

Amaya: “You have no idea.”

In Amaya’s head: Azar pulled me up and pushed me against the tree. He's so strong but he slammed his lips on mine and I let him in, deepening our case. My heart and body were on fire. It was even better than yesterday. I knew he’ll stop all of this the second he's about to lose control. So I needed to savor every second of it.
