Chapter 29
I scoffed with a small smile.
“No place I’d rather be.”
Meredith hummed in response, looking around the gym before deciding to head toward the bench. She sat down, her knees pressed together with the box gently placed in the middle of her lap. Her eyes fell to me. She looked a little perplexed. Finally, she patted the space beside her.
“Sit with me, Selene.”
And I did. I sat beside her, wiping the sweat from my neck with a towel I left on the bench. I tried to ignore how filt hy I felt with my sweat making me sticky. My skin still burned from all the blood pumping into me. I was so tired. But it wasn’t enough. Pain helped remind me of why I was doing this.
Who I was doing this for.
I couldn’t afford to even waste a minute of my time.
“You know you didn’t have to get me the house.
Meredith broke, looking pointedly at me. I could see in her eyes that she felt somewhat indebted. The house she was referring to was the one her mate built for her as a gift. Her mate, Kit, had died after being mauled on by rogues. Xeneron’s (current leader) father was the leader at the time. He had ordered an attack on their pack years ago but they fought tooth and nail against them. They managed to hold the rogues back before they could burn Greyhound to the ground.
She was nineteen when he passed and met him only a year prior. Losing a mate was something I couldn’t begin to understand. I’ve seen how some would fare after losing their significant other. Some would go crazy while some would manage to mourn but move on with another in their lives. Meredith was neither. She decided against finding someone else, believing it to be betrayal on her part if she did. So she lived a lonely life as Alpha; never having the chance to love another and have kids.
The house he was building was never finished and was under Kit’s name. With no will or testament, it was passed down to his brother by default. His brother who sold the house to a family of humans that lived there ever since. Meredith long gave up trying to get the house, not wanting to get mixed up with humans. Only recently was it put up for sale but the moment it did, I bought it. I had Noah keep track on it since Meredith told me the story. I knew, from the very moment I heard of it, I was going to get it for her.
I rolled my eyes and tilted my head to the side with a small smile.
“And you didn’t have to help me four years ago”
My smile fell, my face turning serious.
“-but you did.”
Meredith went quiet. She tapped her fingers along the edges of the black box rhythmically. She relaxed her shoulders and stared at the wall. Her wolf sadly peeking out as she thought about Kit. It was only in moments like this that she ever lets out her true emotions. As a
