My wolf was practically dancing with excitement as I finished rebuilding our nest. After devouring the rare steak Kaelen had ordered for me, I'd spent the last hour meticulously arranging and rearranging the blankets, pillows, and clothing items that would form our perfect sanctuary.
"Are you satisfied now?" Kaelen asked, his deep voice carrying amusement as he watched me from the doorway.
I stepped back to examine my handiwork—a circular fortress of softness with our combined scents woven throughout. My wolf preened with satisfaction.
"It's perfect," I declared, unable to contain my smile. "Now can we go for our run?"
Kaelen's green eyes gleamed with promise. "Get ready. I'll have the car brought around."
"Car?" I tilted my head in confusion. "Can't we just shift and run from here?"
He shook his head. "Too risky in the city. We'll drive to the private forest on the north estate."
