20. The first lodge
“
Who’s a good boy?” I coo as I scratch his head
“obviously, you are.”
“Hazel,” Luke says in irritation “Stop it.”
I huff “You’re just jealous because animals hate you
and not me.”
“Stop playing with that squirrel, we have to get going.”
He says, already starting to walk
“But—
“No arguments.”
“Asshole,” I mutter before I swing my bag on my
shoulder and follow him
Since we pretty much didn’t sleep yesterday, we woke
up late. Yes, Luke Winters, the perfectionist is actually
not a robot and woke up late as well.
“Hey Luke,” I ask, he hmms in response “Didn’t you
expect to find your mate in that crescent moon ball?”
“No.”
“And during your travels?” I ask “Didn’t you think you’d
find her during that?”
I see his shoulders stiffen at that “No.”
Sure, I think to myself. Even if Luke might not accept

“Humor me.”
“I’ll do what I’m supposed to,” he shrugs “Work,

“That, and a lot of power.”

some stupid job?
“What would you do?” Luke asks, effectively surprising
me “After you leave?”
My rough sketch plan flashes in my head again “Get a
job, save up money, work my ass off and start a small
business which will eventually grow and I’ll be rich.”
Luke stares at me for a moment before looking ahead
again, a small sound escapes him. Did he just…
chuckle? Maybe I should just admit that he’s a living
being too.
“So you do have a brain in that big head of yours?”
“Yes, a very bright one.” I ignore his sarcasm
“And about your mate?” he asks “You did sneak in the
ball, I’m guessing you wanted to find him.”
“That was my intention,” I don’t bother denying
