Chapter 75

“v’s not over till it’s over. And when it’s over, it just begins again.” Kate McGahan

Given how late it was, Griffin didn’t stick around long to talk to those who had gathered to meet him. He made just

enough small talk to satisfy the castle staff and the guards, most of them just happy he’d made it back safely. I tried to

get out of Griffin’s way while he spoke with the others, but he hadn’t let me. He simply tightened his grip on my waist,

refusing to let me out of his arms. Not that I really minded. It was the first time in weeks that I’d felt those arms around me.

He carried me all the way back to our rooms with his nose buried into my neck, and it wasn’t until we passed the

threshold that one of us spoke for the first time.

“I know I was only gone for a couple of weeks,” he said, “But without you by my side, I can promise you it felt much

longer.” Griffin laid me down on the bed, and as soon as he’d kicked his shoes and jacket off, he joined me.

by soaking up as much physical contact as possible. “I missed you too,” I said, “I worried

Griffin’s large fingers ran through my hair. “I worried about you too, little fox.”

At that, I turned to look at him. “You worried about me? You were the one chasing down a power-hungry Alpha. I was

sitting in a heavily guarded castle. What could you possibly have to worry about?”

“Pll always worry about you as long as we’re apart. No matter how guarded this castle is or how safe you seem, my wolf
