of novelty and surprises

fine, i'll let you in

but please keep yourself from breaking

a fragile heart that's only trying

M A D D I E ♛

A week had gone by since everyone else left and I was still getting coached at the routines of a pack life.

I never would've thought that I would be here in a pack at a table sitting with my mate's mom as she is telling me stories about my biological family.

She told me how she'd been well acquainted with my mother as she would spend summers here in Chase's pack whenever the leaders of their packs had trainings and meetings. It was through her that I found out that my mom was a Gamma's daughter.

I listened attentively, trying to paint a picture of who she might be.

Lucy also told me more of my father and how devastating he was when I got lost. I noticed that she always said the word in a way that she didn't believe in it, but before I could ask for more information, Chase came in.

Lucy grinned when she saw her son as if signalling him something but when she turned to me, she put on an innocent façade which made me feel even more suspicious.

What is going on?

There was definitely something fishy. It was like everyone around me knew what was up but no one was telling me anything.

I tried asking Kasen, the easy target, but even he didn't say anything.

Chase smiled when he saw me and I had to swallow because my heart was already at a speedy rate.

"Time passes by so fast when I'm with you, Maddie. Come, I have a surprise for you." she says and grabs my hand. I wasn't even able to say a word to Chase who just came in.

I switched looks from both of them, trying to figure what was going on.

"I'll for you here." was all he said as his mother dragged me upstairs.

Lucy was babbling something about being excited. She opened a door that led us to a room. I noticed right away that the scent in the room was a strong scent of Chase's.

It was a big room, but it was almost empty. It gave signs that it hasn't been inhabited for a while.

"This was Chase's room before he moved in the pack house. Come in." his mother bid me to go in.

Chase's room?

I went in and indeed, I could feel that this room was filled with his memories.

At the bed, I was squinted my eyes when I saw a green dress. Lucy quickly went and grabbed it and handed it to me.

"Now, love. We have to hurry. We don't want to keep Chase waiting for too long, now don't we." she says. I could feel the excitement and happiness in her voice so I didn't ask any more questions. I just took the dress and looked at it. "I'll come back in a bit so you just change." she says and leaves the room.

When she left the room, I was left with the powerful and calming scent of Chase and a green emerald dress in my hand.

What's going on?

'Anyways, let's just change first.' I tell to my wolf who also agreed with me.

I changed into the green dress and didn't forget to put a band with dagger at my right thigh. You could never be too careful.
