It's been a few days since I had left the manor, trying to get back to normal but everything feels wrong. With everything that has happened, I have gotten the strange feeling that I no longer belong here. I wanted to take a couple days to myself so I could figure out what I want and it hasn't been very successful."It's because you belong with your mate," Aala growled, irritated.

When I turned away from him, there he was.Although being a werewolf, we really did not need to get married since we were mates, but he thought that it would be a nice gesture since I was raised human.
