Her short curly blonde hair bounced around her narrow features and her pink lips were turned upward in a curious smile. I recognized her from around the pack, but like the others, I hadn't really spoken to her. "Cupcakes and cookies," I announced. "It's my apology for last night." She frowned.

"What happened last night?" Seemed genuinely curious.

"I kind of ran out on the banquet," I told her sheepishly. "I don't want that to be my first impression on everyone. I'm not usually like that." That was kind of a lie, but she didn't need to know that.

"Oh, right. I heard about that," she said. "I'm sure you had your reasons. You don't need to explain a thing." I raised my brows; surprised by her kindness. It was the first real kindness that I received since arriving at this pack.

"I'm Cara by the way," she said. "Gamma Erik's mate." My mouth fell open as I turned around to see Erik placing the last plate of cookies on one of the tables. He had a smile on his lips and the twinkle in his eyes showedthat Cara was telling the truth. "You didn't tellyou were mated, Erik," I told him, disbelief evident on my face.

His smile widened.

"You didn't ask," he said simply.

I turned back to Cara who was beaming at her mate and then she laughed.

"You're Silver, right?" She asked. "The daughter of the Alpha of the Stormwind pack." The last part wasn't a question, but an observation.

I nodded.

"That's me," I told her.

"You're lucky to be married to the Alpha. Don't listen to any of the rumors around this pack. He's a great guy and if he married you, he must really like you." I smiled at that thought, but I couldn't help the unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach.

"That's very kind of you to say," I told her honestly. "Thank you." "I hope we can be friends. There are only a couple of others that I really tolerate around here. I'd like to add you to that list, Luna." "I would like that," I told her.

Her smile was radiant as she grabbed a cupcake.

"Great!" She said excitedly. "I can't wait to tell the others." She started to walk away, but she paused before passing Erik and she brushed her lips against his. His smile was showing even with her lips pressed against his. My heart swelled for them; it madehappy to see love blooming.

It was rare to find a fated mate, so when it does happen, it's a true blessing.

The dining area started to fill up and I smiled as other packmates took one of the baked goods and then thanked me. Sof them wouldn't cnearand others just gavedirty looks. After a little while, I decided to find Elliot and tell him about the new friend I had made.

I didn't have a lot of friends other than Rebecca so the idea of making a new one sentflying over the moon!

Just as I was about to leave the room, a voice sounded from nearby. I paused only momentarily to hear her say, "Did you hear that Miss Shirley is back in town? She hasn't left Elliot's side since she returned." "It's about damn this love returned. He's been missing her. It was so obvious to everyone. I wondered why he was looking so much happier lately."

"Yup, it has everything to do with Miss Shirley's return. He's hopelessly in love with the female Alpha She's the most powerful female in the world, not to mention she's rich, a model, and drop-dead gorgeous." "I always knew they'd find their way back to one another."

I felt sick to my stomach upon hearing this conversation and I wished I hadn't had stayed and listened to it. Swallowing the bile of vomit that wanted to rise from my throat, I quickly hurried out of the dining room and down the hallway. I'm not super familiar with this packhouse, but I do kind of remember seeing his office the other day when I was given a tour of this place. Within minutes, I was standing outside of his office door. I raised my fist to knock but froze when I heard a female voice inside.

"I don't get it, Elliot. Why would you marry someone like her? She's wolfless and weak. You know I'm better suited to be your wife than she is..." It was Shirley! Elliot's next words didn't just shatter my heart, but my soul as well.

"I can't divorce her just yet. I still need her." X
