Chapter 228 AURORA I dont think Im the kind of wolf Piper deserves .


    The words of Warrick from the previous night turned in my mind while stepping outside into the cold morning air .


    Self doubt from his words still stayed , ghost like , in the packhouse , and Piper seemed all too aware of it .


    But today wasnt the day for that .


    The stress of wedding preparations reached a height , and I needed this one moment in peace before being consumed by the stress .


    A fact Dane seemed to know , from the way he leaned against the doorway , awaiting me with that easy smile .


    Stealing me away ? I asked , one eyebrow raised .


    Call it a rescue mission , he returned , holding out his hand .


    Thiske was our spot , quiet from eyes and expectation .


    The sun hit the water , shining , while the soft rustling of the trees felt like a gentle massage .


    I kicked off my boots and let my feet sink into the cool grass as Dane spread out a nket .


    Remember how I almost took you down during our first patrol together ? I said , smiling .


    Chapter 228 1 smiled as I saw him pouting .


    He picked up my dress and helped me into it .


    2/2 Thanks , I breathed as I stood up , from him .


    I looked around to quickly make sure nobody was watching .


    I breathed out a sigh of relief as I noticed the area was clear .


    You promise right ? Dane asked as he stood beside me .


    I nodded , as I licked my bottom lip .


    Aurora ! Dane ! You need to see this , Joclyns voice rang and I shot my head in the direction of the pack house .


    We better start going back , I said and grabbed Danes hand as I pulled him away , even though he was grumbling .


    Joclyn met us with urgency in her eyes .


    Leif has fallen sick , she exined , even while a hint of worryced her voice .


    The pack is worried about how we will get along without his wisdom if this gets any worse .


    Leif was one of our eldest werewolves , a source of guidance and wisdom for the pack .


    The thought of losing him sent a stream of fear through me .


    Ill go see him , I said immediately .


    Perhaps there is something we can do .


    Leifs room was half dark , and it smelled of herbs .


    He looked frail and breathed shallowly , though his eyes still sparkled with that twinkle of wisdom which I admired so much in him .
