Thursday morning, Sylvia arrived for another reiki session with August. Graeme was back at the pack house by the time she arrived. Graeme and August had agreed that he should go each day to the council without falter, as missing a day of his new role might bring suspicion should the elders realize Marius was gone.
August was relieved that the mate mark seemed to soothe Graeme's worries considerably, and he left that morning without too much hesitation—although he did find it hard to leave bed, and August was reluctant to let him go. She was fairly certain that given the opportunity, she could remain in bed with that beautiful man indefinitely.
Upon walking in the treehouse, Sylvia immediately realized the change in the human girl. Sylvia couldn't help but beam with happiness at the visible mark on August's neck and the familiar scent that she was cloaked in. She was the Alpha's mate. Any pack member with a nose would know it.
