"Alan," A familiar voice called him, and he turned to face her.
Could his day be any worse? His heart only skipped a beat when everyone had turned their attention toward him and his visitor.
When did she get back? It had been a long time since he heard from her. Why did she have to come today of all the days when he already had enough people angry at him?
The look in his wife's eyes was not that of excitement.
"Hi, Catherine," He responded, and Catherine gave him a big smile while she went over to hug him.
Did he push her away?
Well, not exactly.
He sighed as he tried to mind link her that he had found his mate, and she was around, in the room, and could see them.
'I have found my mate,' he quickly mind linked, and her smile widened.
