Chapter 35

Nix’s POV

I nearly do a back flip when Parker asks if he and Caren can stay a few more days. Parker seemed more enthusiastic than Caren, who just seemed happy that he was happy. She keeps smiling at him when he talks about Dani.

He hangs around with Dani a lot during their second day here. Which meant someone needed to entertain Caren. I reluctantly volunteer. When I say reluctantly, I mean I act all cool on the outside, but on the inside, I am dying for her to say ‘yes’.

She accepts my offer and I go to show her around the pack. I have been here quite a while now and am familiar with a lot of places. We walk and talk, it’s really nice. I want to call it our second date, with breakfast being the first. But I know it’s not. She is just being friendly.

She's well aware that she mentions her sister too often, and apologizes for it, but her sister is her best friend. They do a lot together. She is anxious about what the future holds for her at Spring Valley Pack,
