Really Now?

Morning came, and Gilas took in a breath of fresh air as he looked out at the window beside him. It had been a while since he traveled with his mother, and he was honestly looking forward to their two days and one-night trip… not only with his mother but also with his mate. It was like a much needed vacation after everything that the three of them had been through.

He unknowingly smiled as excitement filled his heart. In truth, he also had plans to treat Clara for the night on their journey ahead. They would be using another route on their way to Gideon's territory for a stopover at the Snow Moon Pack's Territory for the night, and from there, he would have fun with Clara at the Winter Lantern Festival.

"This is nice, isn't it?" his mother beamed in front of him as she sat opposite him and Clara inside the carriage. "How long has it been since we've traveled like this?"
