“Yes. And you can, too. You just need to learn how to, and I am here for that.” She smiles sweetly at me.
Leila is so beautiful when she smiles.
I smile back at her and wiggle excitedly on Ares’s lap. “I can’t wait to learn!”
Again, they all laugh at my outburst. I ignore them and sigh happily.
Have I ever been this happy? I don’t think so.
When their laughter dies down, Leila levels her gaze to mine. “You are a Kaye, my dear.”
I nod to this. I have finally accepted my heritage, even though I have not forgiven my parents for what they did to me.
“Kayes are exceptional at everything we do. I want to make sure you are, too.” She beams at me.
I want to be strong!
I will never be that sickly girl anymore.
“I am more than ready, Leila. I want to be strong for myself and my mates,” I tell her.
My mates!
It is still foreign to me. From not having a boyfriend to having three committed, loving mates.
“I accept your offer. When can we start?” I ask sweetly.
“As soon as possible. I can offer a lesson right now. Are you ready?” Leila asks.
I am about to answer when my stomach rumbles. I bite my lower lip as they all turn to me. I blush, and they laugh. This time, I join in.
“I think that’s my cue to prepare breakfast,” Jeremiah declares and goes to the kitchen.
Eric follows him, leaving Ares and I with Leila.
“What is the pointer you want to share?” I ask eagerly.
Leila clears her throat and leans forward in her seat. “We can’t see pheromones, but we can sense them.”
I know this already, but I keep quiet and let her continue.
“They flow within us and are super useful when you need to defend or attack someone,” she says.
Sounds like war.
“There are other great uses for pheromones, but I want us to focus on how you can turn them into an arsenal,” she says.“Especially with all the things you have gone through, you will need them.”
“Okay…. I get that,” I say, urging her to go on.
“If you want to learn to control your pheromone release, you need to practice deep breathing. It helps if you close your eyes and imagine your essence pouring or being sucked inside of you,” Leila says.
“Ohh! Can I try that now?” I ask.
“Sure! Go for it,” Leila encourages me.
I stand up from my man’s lap and then stretch my body out.. I close my eyes and focus on my breathing. Just like Leila instructed, I imagine my pores leaking essence. I stand still for a while, and then I hear a gasp. It came from Leila.
I open my eyes to see every one of them staring at me in wonder.
