Chapter 357. Booted

Valen’s POV

Time dragged.

The guys kept talking as the Worgens asked them a torrent of questions. Their voices faded into meaningless noise because I couldn’t follow a single word they spewed.

I was staring at the glass door, fixated and waiting for my moon-blessed to appear. I held my breath, my chest tightening with anticipation. These hours without her felt too long.

“Why is she taking her sweet time?” Zeus grumbled, getting impatient.

I wondered the same thing. “Did she really stop to talk to the Elites on her way up?”

“Talking to them…before coming to me?” Zeus rumbled his displeasure, twisting up inside. My jaw tightened. I didn’t like it either.

Naturally, pack members would flock to her gentle and caring nature.
