LXIII

I wasn’t at all surprised that Kaleb and Rudi were joining us. What did seem unusual, though, was that this meeting was taking place at Isaac’s house instead of at his office, given his insistence for a separation between work and home life. I could only assume it had something to do with the fact that we would be discussing information that the pack did not need to be privy to. Not yet.

“So lemme see it!” Kaleb said jovially. “I wanna see the proof that I’m around for history being made! The first Lycan Queen!”

“Kaleb!” Rudi admonished. “Mate marks are so personal. What’s next, you want to know what position they were in when it happened?”

I shifted uncomfortably. Stereotypically, mates were marked during moments of intense intimacy. So, sex. I had assumed these people knew the circumstances that resulted in my mark, but apparently that information had been safeguarded. I didn’t know how I felt about the story being retold, either, even if it was an important piece of the puzzle.
