She put her seatbelt on, and I did the same. Then, she put the car in drive and drove off toward Gavin’s Villa.

“I’m sorry if my brother is too much,” she said after a beat of silence. “He’s chased off every tutor he’s ever had. I’m not sure what’s wrong with that boy.”

“He seems great to me,” I told her honestly. “I honestly think he just craves attention and will get it any way that he can. With Gavin being a busy Lycan chairman and Alpha of his own pack, and you being… engaged… I think he feels a bit lonely.”

I stumbled when I said the word “engaged“, it was weird talking to Irene about this, but she didn’t seem to notice my hesitation.

“I suppose I have been preoccupied with this wedding,” she sighed. “I just love Ethan so much that spending any time away from him is upsetting to both me and my wolf.”

I blanched at her words; I definitely did not want to talk about this with her. But then something she said caught my attention.

“Your wolf?” I asked her.

She let out a small laugh.

“Yeah; don’t get me wrong, we both know that Ethan is not our fated mate, but he’s been so sweet and tentative towards us since the day we met that it doesn’t even matter. My wolf claimed him as ours and I would have to agree with her.”

I felt sick to my stomach hearing her confession. I stared at my hands, not sure what to say. She seemed to have sensed this because she glanced at me as we stopped at a traffic light.

“Have you ever been in love?”

I was startled by her question and when I looked up at her, saw her watching me with a small frown on her lips and curiosity on her face. I didn’t want to lie to her, but couldn’t tell her the whole truth either. If I did, it would make this weird, hurt her, and it would ruin my chances at this job.

“I thought so,” 1 admitted. “But he didn’t love me in the same way.”

I could see a flash of sadness in her eyes. The honk coming from the car behind us alerted Irene that the light was now green. She pressed the gas, and we continued towards the Villa; I could see it in the distance. It was large and gorgeous. We neared the pack borders, and the Silver Creserit pack guards didn’t bother stopping us, recognizing Irene’s signature car. They bowed their heads at her and she gave them a polite smile as she drove past them and onto Gavin’s parklands.

“He’s an idiot for not loving you,” Irene told me after a bear of silence. “You seem like a great girl and any guy would be lucky to have you.”

I didn’t respond to her kind words; I stared out the window and watched the buildings and trees pass by. It didn’t take long to reach the villa. Irene parked the car and we boll got dut.
