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

“You need to spill it,” Medow said as she sat on my bed, feeding Martina as I was packing.

“Spill what?” I asked as I tried to figure out if I needed more than one dress.

“Oh no, you don’t get to be all oblivious about this. As your friend I need to know what’s going on between you and

Finlay,” she said.

“I don’t know what you mean,” I said. It sounded fake even in my own ears.

“Amie,” she said in her best mom voice.

“Fine!” I paused and sat down on the bed as well. “So this thing happened on my birthday,” I started.

“You slept together?!” she exclaimed.

“No! And keep your voice down. We’re in a house full of werewolves with super hearing,” I hissed.

“Sorry, sorry. I got a little excited. So what was this thing?”

“We kissed. Well, that is an understatement, but it’s the word I’m going to use so I don’t give you an aneurysm.”

“Oh my, oh my. This is amazing. Finally!” she said. She almost bounced on the bed in excitement, but remembered Martina was eating and settled down. I gave her a short version of what had happened, carefully edited to keep the more

spicy bits out. “So the two of you just decided to pause everything?” she asked when I was done.

“Kind of. I know it’s not fair to him. But I’m petrified when I think that he might find his mate. I’m already way too deep.

If I let myself think he is mine and he ends up being someone else’s…” I let the rest hang in the air. Medow gave me a

sad smile.

“I get it. We wolves are lucky in the sense that we have mates. It makes it less scary to give our hearts away,” she said.

“Yeah. Until your mate rejects you and the big, sexy Alpha both you and your wolf get hung up on hasn’t found his. Then

it just complicates things,” I told her.

“Yeah, it does. But, I’m still happy for you. The two of you have been hovering around each other since the day you came

here to visit. It’s good for you to finally get it out and talk about it. And if it helps at all, it’s easy to see how much he

cares for you. I know you don’t want him to reject his mate, and I get it. But I think he would in a heartbeat. If I didn’t

know he would have swooped you up and claimed you a long time ago if it was true, I would say you were mates.” I

blushed.

“We aren’t, but it’s sweet of you to say,” I told her. Matilda gave up a satisfied burp and Medow placed her on the bed

with a soft rattle to occupy her with. I tickled her tummy before getting up to get back to packing. “One dress should be

enough, right?” I asked.

“No. You need at least three. One never knows,” Medow told me. I scrunched my nose.

“Then I would need another bag,” I told her. Medow giggled.
