I thought I had done okay for time. I assumed the two of them would have been away exploring pack for quite some time, but as I stepped inside of Grace's room I could sense her, and the mood she was in was not a good one. The instant my gaze had fallen to Grace I knew I was in trouble. My plan had been to drop into her room and have a neaten around before returning to my own room to try to gather my thoughts. I had known that her orders were for the benefit of the Alpha and no other. Of course I had. Grace was not kind enough to allow me free time. But I also wanted this rare opportunity of free time, and on this occasion, free time had won.
So having Grace take her anger out on me was of no great surprise. She had expected me to return once the Alpha was out of view and tidy her living quarters. Make her room immaculate once more for her. But looking at the state it was in, it was going to take some time...
