Story: Caelon
“Seventeen days.”
He curtly nods his head. “And how long does your business proposal allot for you to complete the project?”
“If we approve it today, I can have it done by July 31st which is the proposed ribbon cutting.”
Silas clears his throat. “Is this going to be your grand gesture Caelon?”
I nod my head.
Warrick shouts through the phone, “I vote yessss! Get her, boy! You got this!”
Aspen sleepily whispers, “Warrick quit acting like a barbarian.”
He ducks his head, before we hear a door click open and shut as he steps into the hallway.
“Whoops! Forgot she was taking a nap. My bad. Anyway! I vote yes to your proposal Cal.”
Silas shakes his head as he smiles. “What about you, Xavior?”
“I’m all for it.”
“Gail?”
“Well, it was my idea to begin with, so yes of course.”
Silas claps his hands together. “There you have it Cal, we approve your proposal.”
Each of them stand up and clap me on the shoulder as they walk out of the meeting room. Leaving only Gail and I in the office as even Warrick left with Silas, since it was his phone and all.
Gail smiles at me. “What name did you pick?”
“The Howlery.”
She nods. “It’s fitting and perfect.” She pushes her chair back to stand.
“Gail,” I whisper.
“If you think about it really hard, Caelon, deep down you know the answer to that question.”
My eyes bulge as I look up at her.
“How did you know what I was going to ask?”
“I’m not ready to tell you guys. But, what I will say is, you’ve always known and if you consider it for a moment, there’s only one explanation that answers all those questions. Wouldn’t you agree?” Her eyes flash their milky white before she winks.
Walking out of the office, leaving me in complete shock. I wasright.
Chapter 15
Selene
Thursday, July 17th - 18th Birthday
My eyes peel open on the most important day of my life, well at least up to this point. It’s my birthday, that final step into adulthood. My heart rate picks up thinking of all the possibilities of today. The potential of finding my mate, of losing Shadow, choosing my place in the pack, and possibly moving out?
So many thoughts racing through my mind, but there is only one place that I want to be right now, and only one wolf I want to be with. No matter what today brings, I will know that he was mine for the short time.
Throwing the blankets off of me, my feet touch the floor as I shift out of the bed. My body aches as muscles that have never been sore in their life strain with the movement, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Between the squatting, hiking, and standing on my feet for long hours…my body isn’t quite sure what we were doing, and it’s confused.
