I realized now that Gavin had transferred to the Golden Moon Pack around the same time I did. We had known each other since childhood, growing up in the same town. We spent countless hours playing together, running through the woods like normal children. We even attended the exclusive school for wolves together. That was where I first saw Alpha Roan, and foolishly, I had fallen for him long before discovering he was my mate.
Lost in these memories, I was abruptly pulled back to the present as Roan appeared before me.
"Are you feeling better now?" I asked, rubbing my eyes. "We might be out of medicine. Maybe you can get some yourself."
Roan stared at me, his frustration mounting. Without warning, he grabbed my arm, his grip tight and demanding. "Lori, how long are you going to keep fighting with me about Tracy? I’ve told you, there’s nothing between her and me!"
His outburst seemed to hang in the air, but I met it with a calm that belied the turmoil inside me. "Oh, okay," I replied evenly, my lack of emotion contrasting sharply with his rage.
