TYLERShe turns off the screen immediately, keeping the phone by her side like she’s hiding something. I only caught a single word—‘Jake’—but it seems like there’s more to that name than she’s letting on.“I like my privacy,” she says smoothly.And I frown.“Who is Jake?”Her eyes widen a bit, but she relaxes in seconds.“A really good friend of mine.”“Then why are you hiding the chat with this ‘good friend’ of yours?”She raises her chin. “Like I said, I love my privacy. Shall we continue shopping?”Kyle stirs in me. He wants answers, and I do too, but I don’t push further. I lead Aurelia onward, urging her to grab as many clothes as she likes because we won’t get to do this every day. Surprisingly, she only picks a few tops—which are mostly dark shades—and some pants.“No gowns at all?”She shrugs. “I’m not a fan.”I just nod and lead her to the shoe section. Her eyes brighten for the first time since we got here, and when I think she’s going to pick those high heels, she goes for

TYLERDave and I arrived back at the pack house by nightfall. He gives me a stiff smile. “About the witch—how will you smoke her out?”I smirk. “You’ll see.”As we walk further down the hallway, Dave suddenly halts at the sight of my mate—covered in a little mud and draped in a shawl.

We need to… uh… discuss the wedding.”Shit.‘The wedding? That’s all you could come up with?!’ Kyle’s irritated voice rings in my head. ‘It’s clear you just want to spend time with her.’Not true.Not true at all.I shut Kyle out because he’s spouting nonsense.

~TYLER~“She’s being too secretive. Who gets pissed while talking about a crush?” Zara whines as she walks behind me. “I was just trying to be friendly, you know?”Ignoring her, I walk into my study and lean against my chair. “Shouldn’t you be planning the wedding with her right now?”“No.” She shakes her head. “I think I’m done for today. I’ll be back tomorrow.”“You don’t expect her to just open up immediately when it looked like you were trying to pry something out of her,” I say with a smile. “I know how protective you can get of me, so I’m sure you know what you did.”She rolls her eyes. “It’s just… this girl appeared from nowhere and is about to be your Luna.”“And she is my mate.”“I still don’t trust her.”“Then give yourself time.” I turn to check some files on recent contracts with other packs. “You have to leave now.
