(Lucas)
If I could remain in this exact moment forever, I will. I was so caught up in admiring my mate that I forgot I had a pack to look after.
Her white wolf coat bounces off the sun and I resist the urge to mark her again in wolf form. Boris seemed so carefree and happy being with her and in that moment, I forgot all the dangers looming around my pack.
I watched as she ran towards the river in the center of the forest and followed closely behind her. I can't believe I've been blessed with such a beautiful mate.
My thoughts were interrupted by a mind link from Enzo.
"Alpha, the council is here,"
I groaned at the thought of those snobbish old men disturbing my time with Rose. The sooner I get back and hear what they want to say, the sooner I get back to my mate.
I looked over at her and saw her playing in the river and I suddenly felt bad because I was about to interrupt her fun but I had to choose. I wasn't going to leave her out here alone.
