“Let’s not waste time. Say what you came to say.” Celine raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “Direct. I like that.” Tymm remained silent.

Alone. I had always been alone since I was born. Surrounded by a lot of people but still alone. The thought made me incredibly vulnerable, and tears sprang to my eyes. When will I ever belong to someone? To mean anything to anyone? I only want a family. I had fantasized about getting married to the love of my life, having lovely kids and growing old together. But my life was far from that. I blinked away my tears. Maybe Ashere was right.

' Carol. I won't let this night be a depressing one. Something clicked in my mind and I quickly replied 'ok... bring your clothes. And one party wear! Be quick!' I quickly picked my keys and went out. No one was there. Really... he calls this security. Huh! There's just one near the gate. As my old beauty roared into life, we headed straight to........home.

Even more was the need to mate to solidify her position as the Beta's mate, although from what I saw, I had a feeling nobody doubted any of that. I was sure she was going to have to leave the cottage and go back to the pack house. It was what was expected now that she's the Beta's mate with her own duties, meaning that Harriet and I would be living alone. The inevitable loss stung. But still, I smiled, looking at them. It was all worth it. She was happy with her mate all spread out. A pang hit me as the traitorous thought came to mind. As though on cue, the moment I looked away I met a pair of green eyes.

And the dangerously attractive young man in front of me was the only thing on my mind. “Thank you. You’re quite dapper yourself.” “What’s a gorgeous woman like you doing drinking alone at the club?” I smiled. “I like to have fun by myself,” I lied.
