Caelan's POV
I haven't felt this good in a long time.
When we left the pack in the morning, I thought that things would be awkward when I met with my mate.
I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She is still young and naive, but I found myself completely captivated by her.
Talking to her even if it was something as professional and complicated as code was more enjoyable than any conversation I have had in years.
She is also a great cook and very approachable.
Even though she has suffered for so many years, she didn't let the hatred get to her.
However, my favorite thing was the fact that I got to hug her before I left.
I took a gamble when I saw her standing there and looking like she was about to cry.
In fact, that was the biggest gamble of my life and a loss would have meant suffering on my journey to chase my mate.
Fortunately, my gamble paid off.
I didn't turn back and hug her on impulse. It was a calculated move.
