Dylan POV
"I still can't believe that you managed to set that call up, while he's trapped in the palace... you really do seem
to surpriseat every turn." Gilliard sat behind his desk while overlooking spaperwork for god knows what,
| simply sat on the sofa towards the side, helping myself to the bowl of chocolates that usually sits on the desk,
however, currently it resides on my knee.
Lewis was sat next to me, chuckling at the way | was scoffing down each chocolate, making sure to eat the toffee
ones as they were most definitely my favorite.
"I mean, by now you should be used to it. The first tyou met her she made plans to close the border." Lewis

"I know that, but to open up a cellular connection within the palace! That is severely impressive. Even you
couldn't do that after you left." Now it was that one statement that piqued my interests.
"It wasn't that | couldn't, it was more like | didn't want to cause any more trouble." His arms quickly folded over
each other and a small childish pout formed on his face causingto stifle a laugh. "Don't laugh... | swore to
you | would cback for you, and | didn't, I'll never forgive myself for leaving you there."
"If you'd have actually cback after everything, then you'd be dead, and | probably would have been
forcefully marked a lot sooner. Besides, We found each other in the end, so does it really matter now?" |
shrugged, popping yet another sticky chocolate into my mouth.
"It will always matter to me." | had no idea Lewis was still so cut up about everything. Hell, he had more than
made things up to me, not that he had to. | had made peace with the fact that nothing could have been done
differently.
"Well, it doesn't really matter to me... I'm just grateful to be here." | then chuckled looking at the bow! of
chocolates in my lap as | realized had just spoken about actually liking my life within a wolf pack. "I never

"Are you two really not going to complete the marking stage then?" Gilliard asked looking at Lewis more than

being marked and mated to your soulmate.
"We really aren't..." Lewis answered without any hesitation whatsoever, and it caused my heart to swell even

understood their persons wishes. My sight shot to the beta so fast, and with my abrupt movement a small
chuckle escaped my boyfriends lips. He met my gaze and nodded his head a single tin acknowledgement of
my

He grabbed my hand gently in his and brought it up to his lips, placing a small yet attentive kiss on my knuckles
before resting both our hands down, on the thigh of his leg.
"Ahem..." the alpha coughed before holding his palms up in fake dismissal. "I told you, no fornication in my
office. That includes thoughts of sex." | let out a genuine laugh and sweated my boyfriends hand in affection.
Allowing him to see exactly how much his statement meant to me.
| couldn't help but smile at the Gilliards words, however | had to mentally disagree with them. In that particular
moment, | didn't want to have sex with Lewis, | genuinely and simply wanted to hold him and I naturally wanted «
him to hold me.
