Emeline stretched her hands to the ceiling, trying to wake up. She’d tossed and turned the night before, cursing herself for not staying at Noah’s. On the other hand, if she’d stayed there, she’d have thrown her plans in the air and mate marked him right then.

Images of her riding him while they wore their clothes filled her mind, and she groaned.

Okay, enough of that. Noah would be there soon, and they would spend the day together. They hadn’t really talked about what exactly they would be doing, but she had an idea. The day before had been a day full of surprises and, like their toast had promised, discovery.

While she would have loved to spend the day rolling around in the grass with Noah and learning every inch of him, they had other things to do. Namely, work on the spell for North. Each of them had serious preparation to do, as well as studying up on techniques. It would have been great if she could have told Lexi and North what she and Noah had found, but she hadn’t wanted to get Lexi’s hopes up.

So when Lexi had called just a few moments before, Emeline lied. No, not lied, she had told the other woman they were still working on it. They were, after all, but she hadn’t elaborated. Emeline was just too worried that they’d find out, as she and Noah worked at it, that it wouldn’t work and she’d disappoint them when there had been a way to prevent it.

When she and Noah got closer to the end of their timetable, they would tell North, Lexi, and the rest of the Jamensons. There was no way they’d be able to keep their excitement to themselves for long. If the others happened to mention the way she felt, well, then they could attribute it to her new relationship with Noah.

She smiled wide, her cheeks hurting from doing that so much.

Her mate.

Noah was her mate.

She still couldn’t quite believe it.

She also couldn’t quite believe that she hadn’t completed the mating the night before. Even though she would have loved to cement their bond, she knew it was the right decision to wait until she was centered.

And from the way she was feeling at the moment, she knew it wouldn’t be that long a wait for either of them.

Thank the goddess.

“Why are you smiling, girl?” Meryl snapped from the doorway she hadn’t heard open.

Emeline turned on her heel, cursing herself for not locking the door. While the den was safe now, she still should have made it harder for Meryl and the other elders to come into her home without asking. Before, they had been welcome because there had been no other way. Now, though, Emeline wanted her space.

Well, it was too late now.

Also, the fact that Meryl called her “girl” was not lost on her. Emeline just chose to ignore it. Meryl, being as old and batshit crazy as she was, was also far too set in her ways.
