Chapter 84
Kaeleen’s POV
The drive back to the pack was filled with me singing along to music because I was fucking excited. The world didn’t know I was seeing someone and going to the gala with Astrid would show them that I was taken and not ready to mingle.
’Taken? Yeah right. Only say that after the mating ritual is complete.’ Ryker grumbled.
"Come on. You know how we need to do this carefully. Just a kiss sent her spiralling, thinking about her ex. Imagine what telling her about the mating ritual will do." I replied.
’Are you sure she doesn’t know though? I find it hard to believe that someone who was the Luna to a former pack wouldn’t know what the mating ritual consists of.’
"Remember I told her we could bypass it." I said to him,
Ryker huffed. ’Yeah. And that’s on you. Just wait until you start feeling the effects of not completing the ritual.’
"It wouldn’t get to that." I grumbled.
’Let’s hope so."
Ending the conversation with Ryker even if I knew he was saying the truth, I bypassed the main entrance of the house, my feet taking me along the stone path that led around to the back, towards the guest wing where I’d had her studio built. The lights were on, casting a warm, inviting glow that spilled out onto the manicured lawn. The scent of linseed oil and turpentine, a fragrance I now associated completely with her, grew stronger as I approached.
