Jolene. You still there?’ Anthony’s concern was obvious in his tone. He would usually just crack a joke to lighten the mood, but right now, he was dead serious. That only stressed me out even more.
‘Yes, I am.’ I sighed and smiled as Lancelot hugged me even tighter.
‘The council requests that you give your official decision to the whole mate thing. Are you still doing what you told me last time?’
‘Yes.’ Lancelot and I would leave the pack in Samuel’s hands while we help stop my uncle and then return to the pack.
‘Good. I already arranged your transportation to the headquarters. Just go to the airport. I’ll text you the details.’
I hung up and stared at Lancelot.
“Are you–”
“–sure?”
We laughed at how we were already finishing each other’s sentences.
I nodded and he picked me up in bridal style. After taking that shower we would be on our way.
We would help because it wasn’t as if I had a choice. They needed my blood for the tracking spell. But, I had promised Lancelot that I wouldn’t play hero anymore. After getting rid of the pest, I would take a break from my duties as a council member to take over the pack with Lancelot until we pass our titles to our heir.
Everything would work out this time.
We were finally together.
