Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

Chapter 41

I was in my office and looked at the short list of potential members to take to the games. We could bring five and we

needed a rounded team, ready to take on everything. There was a knock on the doorframe, my door usually was open

when I was in my office. I looked up and saw Medow and Martina. I smiled at them.

“Hello, if it isn’t the cutest wolf in the pack,” I said.

“Hi, it is, and she has her daughter with her as well,” Medow said and we both laughed. “What is the birthday girl doing

all hidden away?” Medow asked. “The rest of the pack is preparing your celebration.”

“I know. I just have a couple of more things to do,” I told her. For years, my birthday had been my least favorite day. It

held memories I would rather forget. When I lived in the human world, I had done my best to avoid it. But since coming

to the pack, I had started to celebrate it again. It was hard to avoid, as both Medow and Matilda insisted, and Finlay had

refused to help me tell them no. I had become better each year. But this year was tricky. We were a month away from the

games and my nerves were on edge. Medow walked up to me and held Martina on one arm as she put a hand on my

shoulder.

“Do you want to talk about it?” she asked.

“No. I’m fine,” I told her. She raised an eyebrow and I had to giggle at how good she had become at the ‘mom-look’.

“Do I need to tell Finlay?” she asked.

“Okay, I’m mostly fine,” I corrected myself. “It’s just a lot at the moment with the games, and trying to prepare for

meeting James and my brother again,” I confessed. Medow sat down in my visitor’s chair.

“I can understand that. Is it just bad nerves?” she asked.

“No. Part of me is looking forward to the games. I think we have a good chance at doing really well. And I’m looking

forward to meeting Elder. I just hope he isn’t too angry with me.”

“It will be fine,” Medow said. “I’m a mother, I know these things,” she added. I laughed.

“Thank you for cheering me up,” I said.
