A Warrior's Second Chance (Faye and Alexander) novel Chapter 524

Chapter 523-2

I rubbed a hand over my face before tilting my head beneath the stream again.

Then, despite my efforts to clear my mind, one particular sentence returned.

Faye is coming home soon.

I frowned.

Was she?

Or had Sage simply said it because she knew it would get a reaction out of me?

Knowing Sage…

Either possibility was believable.

She wasn’t above saying something she knew would annoy me, especially after the conversation we’d just

had.

Still…

What if it was true?

I opened my eyes and stared blankly at the tiled wall as the water continued running over me.

Why would Faye suddenly decide to come back to Silver Hollow after the experience she had during her

last visit?

Was she simply coming to see her parents?

Was she coming with Alexander?

That thought lingered longer than it should have.

I frowned at myself almost immediately.

Why was I even thinking about that?

What difference would it make whether Alexander came with her or not?

Or whether she came at all?

None

Absolutely none

I let out a quiet breath.

Faye and I weren’t even on speaking terms in the real sense

Since I broke our engagement, we barely acknowledged each other’s existence whenever circumstances

forced us into the same place.

Friends?

We hadn’t been that in a long time.

If she came to Silver Hollow, it wasn’t as though we’d suddenly find ourselves spending time together.

We certainly weren’t going to sit down and have conversations.

It would probably be awkward.

Painfully awkward.

If anything, we’d simply avoid each other until she returned to Blood Crescent.

That was the most likely outcome.

I reached for the washcloth absentmindedly, but my thoughts refused to settle.

Because no matter how much I tried to dismiss what Sage had said….

There had been one part of it that wasn’t wrong.

Faye really had been different.

Not just as a great warrior.

Everyone knew she could fight.

That had never been in question.

But there had always been something else about her.

Something most people overlooked.

She understood pack business… politics, trade, diplomacy.

She could spend hours discussing strategies, alliances, or negotiations without losing interest.

She actually enjoyed those conversations.

I remembered more than one occasion years ago when we’d found ourselves arguing over council decisions simply because she enjoyed seeing things from different angles.

Sometimes she disagreed with me just for the sake of challenging my perspective.

Other times she pointed out flaws I hadn’t even considered

She listened.

She questioned.

She thought things through before speaking

Back then…

I hadn’t appreciated it nearly enough.

A small smile found its way onto my face before even realized it.

It disappeared almost as quickly as it came.

What was I doing?

I shook my head beneath the running water.
