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

Home. We were going home, finally. I had to restrain myself from pushing everyone out the door of the cabin in the morning. To be honest, they didn’t need me pushing them. Everyone was just as excited as me to go home. Amie had

taken my altercation with Alpha James harder than I expected. She had been keeping close to me ever since. Not that I

minded. It was where I preferred her to be, but I didn’t like her to feel stressed or worried. We needed to get back home

so I could give her all my attention. After breakfast, everyone offered to help wash up and pack the last things. It was

almost comical to see them all ‘helping’. My aunt did her best not to snap at them as they got in her way.

“Okay, everyone. Take one last look around, make sure we haven’t forgotten anything. We won’t be back for another ten

years,” I called out. Amie and I had already made sure everything in our rooms had been packed and stored in my truck. We stood waiting while the others had a look around.

“All done, everything is packed,” Sam declared.

“Then let’s get in the cars. Time to go home,” I told them. There was a loud cheer and we filed out of the cabin. I opened

the door to the passenger seat for Amie. She had the packed lunch my aunt and Raina had made for us. As she got

seated, I leaned in and kissed her, because I hadn’t a good reason not to do it.

“A day and a half,” Amie said as I pulled out and made sure everyone was following.

“Homesick, Red?” I asked.

“Yes.” I took her hand and as the warrior manning the checkpoint let us pass through, she let out a sigh and I could feel

her relaxing. I kissed the back of her hand while watching the road.

“A day and a half,” I reminded her.

“When we get home, do you think the pack will let us stay locked in our house for a week?” she asked. I laughed.

“Are you kidding me? Medow and my aunt will steal you away to plan a mating ceremony,” I said.

“Oh! I didn’t even think about that.” She was not big on celebrations, it had gotten better since she came to the pack but

she was still bad at things that put her in the spotlight. Everyone else birthdays and celebrations, she was the first one to

organise. It was nice to know my aunt and Medow would make sure Amie got her moment as well.

“I think you need to plan for it,” I said. “What else do you want to do when we get home?”

“Gardening. I know Medow said she would look after your garden, but I miss spending time in it. Maybe there will be

enough rhubarbs left to make a pie,” she dreamily said.

“Our garden. Well, let’s be honest, your garden,” I corrected her. Her smile grew bigger.

“And I want to walk along the creek, the wildflowers will soon be out of season. And go for a run on pack land. The full

moon is only two weeks away. What do you want to do?” she asked.

“Spend time with my mate,” I told her.

“That’s not fair. You make me sound like a bad mate,” she objected. I smiled.
