I lead Amara back to the pack house after we leave Blair's. We're both silent the whole way and I see her make her way back to her room. I wish I said something to make her feel better, but I was just as lost. I wasn't expecting her to say it wasn't witches magic. There's a lot of possibilities on what it could be from then, but the question that remains is why Amara?

I go to my office to find Aston waiting by my door.

"Hey, man. I have the monthly pack budgets for you to sign off" he says, I raise an eyebrow at him. Normally he just leaves shit like that on my desk.

"Ok, thanks. Come in."

"I saw you walking around with that new pack member earlier" ah, there's the ulterior motive

"Well a lot of people probably did, it wasn't exactly a secret."

"Since when does the Alpha himself show any new pack member around, you've clearly taken an interest in her" he says, waggling his eyebrows at me. I'm silent for a moment, and his eyes go wide

"No shit, really? Is she your mate?" he says
