Chapter 237. Pack Your Bags

Kieran’s POV

I pace the floor in front of the door, waiting for Gabbie to arrive. We need to get our stories straight before she speaks to my fathers. I can only hope she is willing to lie for me. In the past, I wouldn’t have second-guessed if she would, but I haven’t spoken to her since I turned eighteen. It has been months. I don’t even know if she has found her mate or not.

I find myself becoming jealous at the thought of Gabbie being with someone else. I had always planned for her to be my mate and my Luna, but the truth is she doesn’t belong to me. I shouldn’t be jealous.

A soft, hesitant knock on the door alerts me to Gabbie’s arrival. I open the door just enough to slide my body out. She looks as beautiful as ever, but there is something different about her. Her skin is sun-kissed, and a spray of dark freckles have shown up across her nose. Her chocolate brown hair is pulled up into a messy bun. Unlike the last time that we met, she looks happy.
