Chapter 66

Artemisia POV

It’s funny how my initial anxiety transforms into disappointment as we reach the first checkpoint midway where the pups can run around while the drivers get a little break after the long drive. 

The moment Fynn pulls his hand back to park and get out of the car, I feel like a piece of me has been taken away. 

It’s getting worse by the minute. 

‘We have to drop the mutts to take on the offer of the Alpha,’ Cassy purrs, and I guess she got the right moment as Drake doesn’t put her in her place as usual. 

Or maybe he has begun to distance himself from me. 

I get out after him, and join Celeste and Astrid in serving the lunch packets as they’re swarming out to reach the playground in the picnic area.
