It's late by the time Aston and Jazmin make their way to their rooms. Aston pauses, a question creeps into his mind.
"Uhm, would you like to sleep in my room tonight?" he asked honestly. "We can move your stuff tomorrow if you would like," he gestured.
Jazmin had a moment of shock trying to process the question. "I would like that very much!" she smiled. Her heart fluttered for a brief moment. She started to feel genuinely accepted.
Aston felt relieved by her words, "Good. Go grab what you need or change your clothes in your room if you want, whatever you decide is fine by me."
As Jazmin entered her room, she felt blissful. Things felt natural to her in terms of the relationship. It wasn't forced in any way. Was she falling in love? Or was it just the mate bond?
Aston ran his fingers through his hair, and he felt slightly nervous. He was an Alpha, Alphas don't get nervous. Maybe it's because of the mate bond; it surely had him feeling speechless. "Moon Goddess, what have you done to me?" he asked.
'Nothing, my child, nothing that isn't meant to be,' she replied.
Aston gasps. Did he hear that correctly? Did the moon goddess reply to him!? Was he delirious, or had someone poisoned him, he thought. Aston tried to brush it off.
Moments later, Jazmin knocks and walks into the room. She notices the stunned look on Aston's face. "You look like you've seen a ghost!" she giggles.
"Oh, the weirdest thing just happened to me, I don't know what to make of it." he pulled himself out of deep thought. "I think the moon goddess, I think she spoke to me?"
'I did'
He hears her voice again. Aston is slowly becoming convinced, but why him?
'Why would I not speak to a child of mine?' the moon goddess replied. 'Telepathy is a thing you know, boy.'
Jazmin watches the changes in expression on his face, being as silent as a mouse. She is unsure what to think let alone how to reply to what he just mentioned.
