CHAPTER 33

  Lucien:

  "So how was the mall, sweetheart?" I asked.

  The girls had just come home, each lugging their own bags and giggling with each other. Only Raleigh remained empty-handed, which worried me until Cindy dropped a bunch of bags into my arms and walked away.

  I noticed Raleigh looking shifty. It was probably because she felt bad about spending so much. Grabbing the handles of the bags in one hand, I squeezed my mate's free hand, bending down to press a much-needed kiss on her lips.

  "It was...okay," Raleigh answered after a couple of beats.

  I frowned. "Are you sure?" I asked.

  She nodded. "Yeah...I'm sure." She bit her lip and turned away.

  What is she hiding? Caspian murmured.

  Caspian... I warned, but Caspian didn't listen to me. Going against my warning, Caspian forced himself to look into her mind. Unfortunately, she didn’t have her walls up, which I’m not sure she did knowingly.

  I can't believe I saw him! What's going to happen now? I heard her think.
