Chapter 35

Lake POV

I waited for her to come close to me. Something in me sparked on seeing the strange woman. My heart seemed to melt in my chest, I shivered like a rain-beaten pup without its mother.

"Good day, Alpha."

She greeted, bowing slightly. I pulled myself back to the present and nodded in acknowledgment with a slight bow. There was nothing particularly new about her features. She was the same as almost every middle-aged female wolf in the pack. So, why did I feel as though I had met her before? She was tall and lean, hovering above our table.

Her eyes drifted away from me and landed on my best friend, her sparkle returned. I felt my fingers curl with...jealousy?

"Kenji. It's so good to see you here again." Her tone was bubbly, and Kenji grinned in ecstasy.
