Nervous anxiety ran through me as I darted around the pack house, ensuring everything was ready for the mating ritual. Tala was going to perform the ceremony this time, Olowin explained. It would normally be the pack alpha, but since he was involved, Tala was stepping up as the true second in the pack.

If I focused on the fact that my brother-by-mating would be right there with Frenchie, watching Olowin and me, I wouldn’t think about anyone trying to challenge me. Frenchie had been helpful or not when he’d gone into great detail on how not to get caught unawares by sneaky wolves. If anyone decided to fight for Olowin.

It was all the more real now that Olowin’s papa had arrived an hour ago and was helping get food ready. The sheer number of pies he’d made was mind-boggling and suggested he knew something I didn’t. Like the pack were coming for a party to enjoy my…don’t go there!

Darting for the stairs to head down to the lower level, the heavenly scent of apple and cinnamon greeted me. My stomach, which hadn’t had any food since morning, gurgled, but there was no way I could even consider putting anything inside my stomach with the twisting and knotting it was doing.

“Stop stressing, Sprout. You look beautiful.”

I stopped tugging on the top when I reached the bottom of the stairs. It wasn’t like it wouldn’t be coming off very shortly. I met Olowin’s strangely intense stare. He remained framed in the doorway to the pack kitchen, unmoving. He’d left me a little while ago to do something he was very vague about.

His hands were behind his back, his brow was pinched, and if I wasn’t mistaken, there was unease coming through our link. “Thank you. Only the clothes won’t be staying on, will they? So I wasn’t sure what to wear from all the beautiful clothes you bought me.”

The guilt at how much Olowin must have spent surfaced once more. The day before, when Lupin had shown up with at least twenty outfits for me, I’d been shocked. Even more so when Olowin insisted I keep them all when they fit perfectly. I didn’t really like Lupin. He was a little too up his own ass, but he did have a good eye. I’d give him that.

A wave of nervousness that wasn’t mine rolled through me. “Why are you nervous?” I blurted out at the unsettling feeling.

One hand appeared, and in the palm was a pretty purple velvet box. “I have something for you. The surprise.”

“You mean you did get one?”

His brows rose. “I said I was going to get one yesterday, didn’t I?”

I decided that if this ritual was a true testament to shifter mating, I should be completely honest about all my abilities. “I knew it was bullshit. I kind of have this ability to sense when someone is trying to feed me nonsense without directly lying. Those are much easier to ascertain. The bullshit people feed you trying not to lie is harder to detect for others but not me.
