The Brutal Alpha's Tender Daughter novel Chapter 36

"Old fashioned?", I suggested and Milena smirked at me.

"Sure let's go with that."

My gaze drifted outside Milena's window as I patiently waited for her to find what she was looking for. It had almost been two and a half weeks since I had last seen Silas and although I could feel it in our bond that he was okay, I still worried.

Levin had still not confided in me what Silas' plan was in order "to protect me" as he told me. I had even asked Oliver as I had been sure that mated wolves could not keep a secret from each other. However, he had not even known that Silas had a plan and had made it his mission to find out. If Oliver actually did it as a favour or if he was just annoyed at Levin for not telling him and now wanting to know, I was not sure, but it did not matter. I just had to know what was going on in the Mercy pack.

"Thinking about Silas?", Milena's voice halted me in my thoughts and I smiled sheepishly at her.

"Okay you need to be distracted!", she decided and held a pretty dark beige dress with small white stripes out to me.

"So you're going to put this on and of course you'll look marvelous, because I've got good taste.", she cheekily told me and I smiled softly at her.

To her suprise I pulled her into a tight hug, which I actually did more often these days, and expressed my gratitude.

"You're the best, thank you Milena!"

Her embrace tightened and I was further convinced that expressing one's feelings was actually something that was considered normal in the Crescent Moon pack.

So as Milena ordered I changed into the cute dress and luckily for me she had also given me white converse to wear. Fortunatelly Milena had learnt from my high heels accident.

"In return you have to do something with my hair.", Milena winked at me and enviously stared at my braided plait.

I motioned for her to sit in front of her vanity and started to braid her hair as well.

Although my words were true, because I was indeed excited and happy for Levin and Oliver, a part deep inside of me was mourning, because I had no idea if I would have a mating ceremony myself someday. I did not want to confide this dark thought in anyone as it felt too selfish. Today was Levin's and Oliver's day. The world did not revolve around me as my parents so often told me.

Just as I was finished with Milena's hair I heard a car arrive. Curiously I looked outside her window, because most pack members just arrived by foot.

When I saw Silas' red jeep making it's way to the pack house my heart accelerated. Could it be true?

However, when I got a good look at the driver there was nothing that could convince me otherwise.

"Silas!", I gasped with tears in my eyes and instantly ran out of the room.

He was here, finally! So that must mean that everything went as planned in the Mercy pack, or did it?
