Chapter 80
Astrid’s POV
Life at the Emerald Glade pack was peaceful and nice. Extremely so. I did get the mean looks and one of apprehension once in a while but other than that, life was nice.
And Yvonne was getting me through the process of using a canvas. It was a nice upgrade and I loved it a lot. I transfer my drawing from the book into the canvas, letting my imagination guide me. I wanted this drawing to be exquisite because it was the first thing I would create on this new canvas. And there was also the fact that I actually wanted to gift this to Kaeleen.
I didn’t want it to be a situation where I was always receiving even if that was nice and according to Rebecca, our spouses should be the ones giving and we should be treated as princesses. Nice as it was, I didn’t want that. And I also didn’t want to be that weak Luna who had only the alpha to depend on.
All these leads to why I decided to plan a surprise. Kaeleen’s birthday was coming up. It was still in three weeks but I wanted it to be memorable and I wanted him to remember it as something significant he spent with me. I wanted it to be a thank you gift to him.
But, I didn’t want him to be in the know how. It was going to be a surprise and Rebecca was extremely excited about it. I pretended like everything was okay whenever I met with Kaeleen. We conversed and at some point we’d ventured into physical touch that didn’t make me feel suffocated or that I was back with Leon. And to be honest, I craved his touch sometimes. Okay...that’s a lie. I craved his touch every time.
It was like my body finally accepted the fact that we belonged with each other. That we belonged together. Anytime he was near, I wanted him to take me in his arms and make me his. I wanted to feel everything with him. Feel his breath on me. I wanted his lips on mine again. I wanted it with an intensity that shocked the living daylight out of me.
Whenever he wasn’t near me, I searched for him. Sheena was so tuned to his scent that she peeked up whenever he was near. A hidden thrum of energy between us whenever he walked closer or took my hands in his.
