I was so worried and upset when you left, but after seeing all that you have accomplished in two years, I can't even stay mad at you. I'm so proud of you and what you've become. And right now, a part ofis happy that you left. You pursued a goal and achieved it. That's huge. Congratulations." Warmth pools in my belly, my lips curve into a brilliant smile as his charming words sink into my brain, lighting up my entire body like a lightbulb.
"Thank you," I reply warmly, beaming at him.
"You are welcome." "What about Tessa? How's she doing? She must hatevery much." "Hate is a very strong word. She's indeed upset with you, but she doesn't hate you. She'll be thrilled to see you again after all this time." "I look forward to seeing her too. I'll go to her one of these days." "You should do that." His eyes go over my shoulders and I follow them behindand notice that he's looking at Ryan who seems quite uninterested in our conversation. He's busy admiring the mansion together with the guards and they are engaged in a low-tuned conversation.

Ryan can be very unpredictable at times.
"Ryan, meet Delta Kyle. We uh... we used to be good friends before I left the pack. Delta Kyle, meet my handsome, brilliant, and aloof brother, Ryan." I introduce the two men to each other. "Nice to meet you, Ryan." Delta Kyle says, stretching out his hand towards Ryan for a handshake. Ryan shootsa scowl before shaking the hand and I purse my lips to suppress my laughter. "The pleasure is mine, Delta." It's not often that I get the chance to taunt him. I can never miss the opportunity when it presents itself.
A ringing sound cuts through the atmosphere and Delta Kyle quickly dips his hand into his suit jacket and takes out his phone. Both Ryan and I step away to give him privacy to take his call. It's a brief call that lasts barely a minute.
When he ends it, he turns to us again and sighs.
"I have to go now. You all should go in and get settled. This is your hfrom now on, so be sure to make yourselves comfortable. See you around." "Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you again." too." He flasheshis charming smile before turning to leave. Ryan and I watch in silence as he gets into his car and drives out of the compound.
"This is a good start," Ryan comments and I shoot him a confused look.
"What do you mean by that?" "The Lycan King prepared a house for you to live in. Sooner or later, you'll move in with him in his chambers, meaning I will be moving into the castle! That's the unlimited access I spoke about when we arrived a few hours ago." He explains carelessly and I stay still, staring at him as though he has lost his mind.

"No, we won't!" I flatly deny it.
"Oh please... look at the ease with which he got you to move here m instead of your designated apartment. It's just a matter of tbefore he bundles you to his castle." "Are you callingcheap?" "Don't put words in my mouth. All I'm saying is, you cannot run from your destiny." "What the hell do you mean by that?'
"You two are fated mates. Yes, there have indeed been srough times. Rough times and you have this very big grudge against him which is justifiable and valid, but this is fate we are talking about. Do you honestly think it's simply by chance that you happened to choose fashion and design as your career path which has now led you into this competition which is being hosted in this pack?" My brows crease. Further confusion. "This is fate bringing the two of you together again and we all know you can't win a fight against fate. What will be will be!" He flashesa queer smile. I open my mouth to say something, to object to every word he just uttered but he hastens his footsteps, leavingbehind. Damn, his sharp mouth!
"You do know he's not far from the truth, right?" Lena chimes in from e nowhere and angrily block her out. X
