Darian stopped ordering me to return to Ravenridge.
Instead, he began sending gifts.
On the first day, he sent a carafe of decaf coffee and a box of honey muffins.
The guard who delivered them said the Alpha had personally ordered them.
"He said your favorite muffins always help when you're upset."
I opened the box.
During the first winter of our marriage, Darian was so busy that he rarely returned to our room before morning. I practiced more than a dozen times before I learned to bake the soft muffins he liked.
Later, after Megan said she liked them too, I started making two batches and sending one with Darian to the council chamber.
I had never liked honey.
The decaf was Megan's late-night drink too. She said regular coffee made her wolf restless, so Darian had the keep stock it
