"I have to go now." Lily stands before I have the chance to respond. This, coming from her, is the best thing that's happened since my arrival.
My wolf will probably roll her eyes at me for doubting her.
"So soon?" I nearly pout as I ditch the tea and walk her out.
"I can feel Allen's anguish. Things aren't going well at the field, and I need to be back at the wing when he comes back." Although wolves can't communicate with words, mates share and live in each other's feelings.
I instinctively touch the side of my neck, where a mate-bite would be—a perfect seal to our forever.
But is there a forever?
I sit for a moment as I watch her frantically leave. She's going to be there for her mate, while I'm just here.
"You okay?" Linda sets the tray of plates down loudly, gaining my attention.
I have the urge to inquire how many dishes she managed to clean without pausing even once while we were here.
