"I didn't know you were coming..." Lucas murmured, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly as Alpha Varleston observed from a distance in what he must have thought were subtle glances.
Alpha Varleston had just announced to his pack that Neveah would be accompanying them and Lucas would have the honor of serving as her mount.
"I didn't know either." Neveah replied, her lips twitching slightly.
Despite the situation, she was amused by the father and son pair, most especially Alpha Varleston who seemed keen on conjuring up a chemistry between them just by his staring.
"By the end of this trip, having you so close yet knowing we can never be... my heart will be broken into a thousand pieces and my father will dig me a grave for failing to win your hand." Lucas pointed out and Neveah chuckled quietly.
"I wish there was something I could do to make this easier for you." Neveah admitted apologetically.
