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

he cabin was deserted when we got back. The rest of our pack was out celebrating and it was well

deserved. I was looking forward to calling my parents, but I could also feel how nervous Finlay was.

Maybe I was being naïve, but I felt like all the stress, worry and the constant feeling of something

lurking outside my field of vision, just melted away. Our pack was safe and I had Finlay as my

and we took a moment to snuggle.

“Yes,” he said. I could see, and feel, he was lying. I gave him a soft kiss.

“My mom already likes you, and so does my dad. And as I love you, they will as well,” I told him.

“What if they think I’m not good enough for you?” he asked and leaned his forehead on my

shoulder. I raised my hand and ran my fingers through his hair.

was lucky to snatch you up when I did. Any parents would be thrilled for their daughter to be mated

to you,” I told him.

pointed out.

“True. And since you are my safe and happy place, you check those boxes as well. We are just going

to do this and once it’s done, you will feel silly that you were so worried.” I took out my phone and

started a FaceTime call. I positioned the camera so only I was visible. When my mom answered, I

saw she was sitting in my dad’s lap. I smiled at our similar situation.
