Kitra,

I’m sorry for being an idiot. I want all of you. Not just the parts I’m comfortable with. Please be patient with me as I navigate the unknown. Nothing can be bad or second best if you’re involved in it.

You have my heart. –Caden

I clutched the card to my chest and smelled each vase. I had the urge to sing and dance, but realized I’d be acting too much like a Disney princess and might attract the local wildlife to my door. My wolf was prancing, basking in the glow of knowing the wolf she claimed as her own was coming to his senses. He was going to accept all of me. That’s what I wanted most, but I wasn’t ready to go back to a toxic relationship. We both needed to grow and mature. I’d wait until he showed his acceptance before I acted on it.

Lilly called us down to eat and I became a shy, love-struck girl getting to see her crush for the first time. Was my hair okay? Did I need to change? I told myself to quit be silly and be the fierce, independent woman I knew I was. I sat between Linc and Gwen across from Caden and he gave me a tender smile.

Dinner passed in barely contained excitement after Curtis and Allie filled the doorway. I was grateful Curtis was healing. When Uncle Kalen noticed the damage to the walls, all I received was a stern stare and I sagged in relief. After a slice of chocolate pecan pie, Gwen and I volunteered to clean up and the others disappeared like figments of the imagination. Gwen and I were a great team and finished up in record time. I told her about Caden’s gift and we gossiped like harpies. Caden strolled in and Gwen gave me a thumbs up before leaving. I didn’t know what to do and became unsure of myself. The boy sent my head spinning anytime I was around him.

“Thank you for the flowers.” I ducked my head and put my hands behind my back.

“You’re welcome.” Caden crept forward and slipped his arms around me. “I want you to know I’m serious. It may take a bit for me to fully understand your fae side, but I will. You’re too important to me.”

“I know.” I squeezed him and my wolf hummed. She loved the contact. “You’re important to me too.” I gazed up at him and his eyes locked onto my mouth. His head descended, but before we made the contact we both wanted, a throat cleared.

“Sorry to interrupt.” Zander cleared his throat again. “Your dad and Chad want to see to you in Kalen’s office.”

“Duty calls.” Caden’s arms dropped from around me and I stepped away from him. He and Zander left and I leaned back against the sink.

“He’s smooth.” Ryn popped around the corner.

“Were you watching us?” Why would he be spying on us? My arms crossed protectively in front of me. After what he had said earlier, who knew what he’d spew this time.
