FREYA
The pack didn't sleep last night.
I tried to and when I finally open my eyes this morning, there is no sign of Eli. Not even his scent lingers. He didn't come in last night.
I close my eyes and exhale the natural yearning for her mate that my wolf fills me with as she stirs awake in my head.
This is hard for me but I know it's harder for her.
Sometimes I wonder if Eli’s wolf is just as he is or craves our intimacy as much as my wolf does.
My phone buzzes and I check. It's a text from Riza.
*Black Pine Legal. Confirming your consultation. 1 p.m. Larkspur tea house. Free Boundary Road.— R.*
I sigh again. I had almost forgotten about our engagement and today of all days might not be ideal as I have to plan for the coronation ceremony for tonight.
I do not text back immediatel
