CHAPTER 28: Worth the pain...

Randol

Jesus. My body definitely feels like I was cut in half. It even hurts to smile. That doesn't stop me from doing it, though. I have just heard the greatest words I have ever heard. "I picked you." I know it's crazy, but I already love her. She is our mate. I couldn't have picked a better one if I tried either. She is kind, smart, beautiful, and sees good in people even when they don't see it in themselves. I could go on and on, I'm sure, but not now. I can hear a very loudmouthed alpha wolf heading for my room as we speak.

"Randol! You're awake! Thank God." The door flies open, and this is all I hear before he is already at my bedside.

"Calm down, Dad. I'm fine."

"You are not fine. You were mauled by a bear."

"If you knew what I just got to hear, you would know why I say that." For some reason, a knowing smile comes to his face. "What?"

"Celeste chose you over the other two, didn't she?"

"How in God's name do you know that?"

"I'm your father, Randol. I know everything."
