Page 86 of Her Big Bad Wolf

“Dude, are you sure you want to do this in public like this? Most of the Pack thinks you died a long time ago,” Baine said.

“Big gesture,” Isaac muttered.

“Get down on one knee. Remember what Mason said,” Noah instructed.

Tarron started to giggle.

I elbowed him in the ribs.

“What are you doing here?” I said, finally finding my voice again.

“I miss you. We miss you. We want you to come home, for good.”

“Get down. You have to grovel and beg,” Mason insisted.

I grabbed him and used him like a barrier between us.

“You didn’t have to do this,” I told him.

“No, I think I did. So, what do you say?”

He awkwardly held out the flowers towards me.

I took them and a smile so big it hurt my cheeks spread across my face.

I shoved the flowers at Tarron, and the chocolates at Noah and I hugged my mate, and then I kissed him for everyone to see.

My body shuddered and relaxed for the first time since I’d walked out his door. This was where I belonged.

He kissed me like no one was watching and I felt his body shaking in relief too.

When Silas and his guys started to cheer for us, I pulled away and remembered where we were.

There were tears escaping my eyes, but they were happy ones. Isaac gently wiped them away.

“You seriously didn’t have to do this. I was coming to talk to you after pickup today anyway.”

“You were?”

I nodded.

He glared down at Mason.

“Hey, don’t blame me. How was I supposed to know that? Besides, the big gesture always wins the girl in the movies.”

“This is one smart kid right here,” Baine said.

Noah elbowed Isaac in the side and the two of them shared a look.

“Right. That. So, there is one stipulation,” Isaac said.

I groaned. “There always is with you. What is it this time?”

I didn’t mean to sound so defensive, but I couldn’t help it. Still, he was here making the grand gesture I never even dreamed I’d someday get. Sure, it was a little awkward and superembarrassing in front of everyone, but he had stepped out the shadows to be here for me.

As usual, his actions spoke much louder than his words, or so I thought.

He cleared his throat. “It’s a package deal or nothing.”
