“Still wallowing?” Charlie sighed as he entered the darkened
room of Caleb’s study. The Alpha was lying on the sofa near the fireplace watching his mate outside with her best friend. Over the last week or so she
hadn’t spoken a word to him and had blocked him from her thoughts as well. She
had, in not so few words, demanded he give her space to clear her thoughts and
figure out what she wanted to do.
Afraid of poking her and causing her to unravel any further
he complied and had been in a state of depression ever since. She smiled on
occasion but never to him. She met with several members of the pack and learned
what she could about their Alpha from their points of view. Even asked Charlie
for advice a few times and went through old journals and books finding anything
she could possibly use to better grasp her situation.
