Callen watched Miranda eat. The way she broke off a small piece of sandwich and brought it to her mouth, the way she toyed with the stemmed wine glass. Everything his mate did, he found interesting. And yet they were basest things a person could do. Miranda was right, he was verra screwed.

He reached for his wine and raised it to his lips.

“You said you are the oldest of your father’s children. How many brothers and sisters do you have?”

He put down his glass. “Five blood brothers, plus Rhys. No sisters.”

“Are you close to them?”

“Verra. They all live on the grounds of Wolfsden, but in their own homes.”

“And your father?”

“He lives here at the main castle, but is in New Orleans at the moment.”

“I can’t imagine anyone wanting to leave this place. It’s so beautiful and serene. I can actually hear myself think up here, unlike in the city. You must really enjoy it.”

He took a moment to answer, not sure how to explain that the castle belonged to the pack’s Alpha and when his father was in residence, so too were a horde of rowdy wolves. Most nights, getting more than an hour of sound sleep was near impossible. “When it’s quiet, like now, yes.”

Miranda toyed with the edge of the napkin next to her plate. “If you don’t mind me asking, how did you injure your leg?”

Crap. Telling his mate a lie would not be right. But telling her the whole truth, without her prepared to accept his world, would do just as much harm. He had to find a balance between the two. “Jarle used my sword against me in a fight. After he sliced my leg with it, he cursed the blade. It’s why I keep the weapon hidden as a cane, so its hex doesn’t escape and harm anyone else.”

Miranda’s eyes flashed neon blue again. “Dude, that is so cruel. I’ll kill him for that.”

He laughed. “You’ve only known me a day and yet you’re willing to go to war with a powerful witch to avenge what he did to me and you think I’m nuts for calling you my mate so soon?”

“Okay. So maybe I kinda think you’re cute. But any woman would, you’re a good-looking guy. It doesn’t mean I’m ready to hop in bed with you. And certainly not marry you.”

His lips curled upward. “I was not the one who mentioned marriage…yet.”

“You said I am your mate, that’s the same thing.”

“I see I am going to have to learn quite a bit in order to figure out this courting you business, Miss Kendrick.”

She quirked an eyebrow. “If I didn’t know better, I’d say you came from a different time. Your choice of words isn’t always common.”

He wasn’t going to bring up his age before he was certain she could accept him as wolf. “I think we’ve talked enough about me tonight. Let’s change the subject. How was your dinner? Do you need me to get anything more?”

Miranda pushed her plate away. “No. Thank you.
