MAYA'S POV
We were in a carriage, bound for the castle. Allan said we should be home before noon. This was the first time he left me alone since we left Droker's hideout. He insisted I spent the nights in his tent, wrapped in his arms. During the day, he rode in the carriage with me, holding my hands, letting me rest against him if I got tired and feeding me. I've never felt so loved and pampered. I felt strange, not riding with him today. I can't explain why I feel the way I do. I felt out of breath and incomplete not having him by my side.
“Stop looking like a lovesick puppy." Emma broke my thoughts. “You'd have to get used to not having Alpha Allan around all the time, especially now that you're returning to the castle. He has duties to the pack and won't be with you all the time.”
