Caught you with who?” Nadia asked as she immediately turned to her mate. Vance’s head was hanging low and so she helped him lift it. She needed to see his face clearly. Was he cheating? Was that why Iris left him?
Vance whipped his face with his palm as he faced her. Even if he cheated, he looked like he was remorseful and that counted for something right? She thought. Maybe Iris saw something in his that must have caused her to leave but she was in no position to try and find out. That was Lovers fight and none of her business, she just had to manage herself as Iris for the mean time as she figured out what she was going to do next.
Vance sniffed his nose and then clenched his fist as he punched them into each other. It looked like he was getting ready to speak. She watched him closely.
“You saw me with the beta wolf’s sister one night under the oak tree. You saw us in a compromising position and you must have assumed the worst of us. I apologize for that but that actually wasn’t what happened” he said as he gently grabbed her hand. He started to rub it and pat it lightly. He did both actions simultaneously as he took a deep breath and got ready to speak again.
This kind of stories were the one Nadia would have loved to hear and then tell her friend, Lyra but then, she shook her head as she remembered she was no longer in Wildermont. She was now in Oakwood. She adjusted her legs and shoulder and then bent to listening intently.
“Go on. I am all cars” she said with a smile.
“You really don’t remember anything?” He asked her wide eyed. Nadia shook her head and then he huffed, “if that was the case, I should not have brought it up in the first place. I’m sorry but can we change the topic we wish to talk about?” He said calmly. Nadia shook her head slowly again. Yes, it was none of her business but she wanted to
hear it.
She watched as Vance swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple moving slowly as he stared at her. Her smile widened, “Go on. I want to hear it. If I didn’t get you correctly and I saw something that wasn’t what it was, then explain everything to me as it was then” she said
nicely.
Vance nodded as he took a second to exhale.
“I was with you here that night when I decided to go out for some air. I think it was after you and I had an argument of some sort. I can’t really remember but something caused me to get out, needing fresh air. You said you would go to bed and I nodded as I walked out. I was out there breathing the fresh air and enjoying the wind when I decided to take a stroll” he said as he moved his hands. Nadia noticed Vance was one to always

explain with his hands. He liked it, or was it because he was an alpha? She asked herself because she also noticed Lucian liked to do the same thing.

back “Maybe it was a leader’s thing she answered the thought in her mind and then to focusing on him. He looked extremely handsome at that particular moment, Nadia noticed too.
The corner of his l*ps looked rather chapped but that was something she could fix. Also, he had a very pointy nose. Why hadn’t she noticed that before? She asked herself.
“I walked out of our house to the front
Something in me needed speed and s. 2nd and then took a step out into the open.
I decided to run. It was just to clear my head, I
remember clearly. I shifted forms to my wolf and ran out into the open, enjoining. myself to the wind as we became one. I was having fun. So much fun. I ran and ran through the meadows as I emptied my head of our fight. It was so exhalting, 1 remembered myself wanting to come back home and ask you to join me. I had finished my running and turned my back to head home when I heard something in the bushes. I decided to check it out because why not?” He took a pause as he looked around the house again. His instinct looked alert and sharp. Nadia also looked around.
“Did you hear something?” She said to him. Vance shook his head. He said no and then continued his story.
“Anyway, back to what I was saying. So I had heard something and decided to check it out to be on the same side because it would strange not, being that I was the alpha. It is my duty after all. I went into the bushes and started to sniff around and that was when I tracked it down. Something or as I would like it, a strange figure was in the bushes. crying” he scratched his head.
“I saw that and I needed to know why and so I went further. I went to investigate and as I gained closer on the stranger figure. I soon discovered it was a woman. I thought she was a stranger but when I got closer, I could sense that her scent was familiar and so I decided to help, I went a tad closer again and touched her. When I turned her to see who she truly wasn’t, I discovered she was my beta wolf’s sister. I was a little shocked as I wanted to know why she was out in the bushes crying at that time of the night.” He said as he shrugged.
“When I asked her, she refused to speak, she instead kept on crying. I waited for her to calm down but I think seeing me made her cry more. It was an outpour, I tell you” he shrugged again. Nadia couldn’t help but smile. He looked really cute as he explained his
story.
“Go on.”
