I was walking to where I was to meet Elder and his mate. I was feeling doubtful if I should be going or not. As soon as

Finlay and I had got back to the cabin, we had told everyone about the council’s decision and then we had called home

to tell the pack. No one had taken it well. I had been set on staying in the cabin and doing my part in trying to calm the

pack down, but Finlay had told me to go and meet my brother. We were to meet half way between their cabin and ours.

It would give us some time as we walked to the more dense part of the forest to shift.

“Amie?” I had been lost in my own thoughts, but as my name was called I looked up and saw Cindy looking at me.

“Oh. Hi, Cindy,” I said.

“So the rumour was true?” she asked.

“The rumour?” We had never been close friends, but we had got along for the most part.

“That you were here. Does it mean the part about you and the Alpha still being mates is true as well?” she asked.

“It is, at least for now,”I told her.

“For now? Rejected for a second time?” I frowned.

“We both feel it’s for the best.” It was her turn to frown.

“I just don’t get it. If I was mated to an Alpha I would fight tooth and nail to keep that bond,” she said.

“I guess we are just different that way.”

“So you aren’t even going to try and persuade him? I mean you have grown up nicely, a little womanly persuasion and

the mate bond helping you out. I think you could win him over,” she told me, looking me up and down.

“Eh, thank you? But I think I will stick to our agreement,” I said. She was about to say something else, but was

interrupted.

“Cindy. Amie is going to meet Beta Elder and Becky. Don’t hold her up.”

“Yes, Alpha. See you around, Amie.”

“Sure Cindy. It was nice seeing you,” I said as she walked away. For the first time in my life, I desperately wanted her to

stay. There was an awkward silence between me and James.

“I heard about the council decision, I’m sorry. It has to put a lot of pressure on your pack’s team,” he said.

“Thank you. Yes, I think we will see it as motivating.” He nodded.
