As we got closer to arriving at Drogomor pack lands, I bit my lip, feeling doubt settle into my belly regarding the situation.
I wanted to stay with Noah and I felt safe with him, especially now that this new issue had come up, but the memory of how I was treated there before I was captured stained my mind.
They hadn’t been horrible to me, but the pack and its rumors were very painful, as were the looks I got from the Alpha and Luna. Noah’s father had been growing impatient with everything going on.
His worries were justified, though I wished he would hear me out. There I was, arriving in the pack and bringing so much trouble.
Granted, most of that was brought on by the lilies and Serena. My heart clenched at the thought of Serena, and I hesitated. Then, I looked at Noah.
He met my gaze. “What’s on your mind, beautiful?”
I paused for a moment, then said softly, “How was Merida before you left?”
