The sunshine on the trees was beautiful today, but it did not reflect my mood. I sat at a table, gazing out at the yard of the Drogomor mansion and letting out a sigh. Noah had been making excuses and avoiding me for days.
After hitting dead ends with all the usual tactics, I decided it was time to get creative in order to get Noah to open up to the idea of a new mate. I began discreetly interviewing some of the lesser-known women from his pack, hoping to uncover a hidden gem that could break through his stubborn resistance to love.
My first meeting was with Lily, a demure young woman who had admired Noah from afar for years. I invited her for tea at a cafe, hoping to learn what drew her to the brooding Alpha.
"So, Lily, what is it about Noah that intrigues you?" I asked gently.
Lily's face flushed crimson. "Oh, well, he's just so strong and handsome," she stammered, staring into her teacup.
