Chapter 135

The rest of the day passed by quickly, but I ached to be in Gabriel's presence again. I broke the news to my parents that I was returning to the other pack village the following day. As expected, they were not overjoyed, but judging by the look on my father's face he recognized Gabriel's scent all over me. My dad wasn't stupid, and he wasn't going to prolong the inevitable. I was going to accept Gabriel and it was my responsibility as his Mate to follow him wherever he went, helping him when I could. Thankfully, my parents may not have been pleased, but they weren't heartbroken like last time. We were all one pack now and they knew I'd be home before too long. I nearly jumped for joy when Gabriel mind-linked with me just as the darkness of night was taking over the sky. Meet me at the south end of the pack village. Is that where the Mating ceremony is being held? I queried, confused. Normally it was in the same clearing as pack meetings.
