Lana left him alone in silence. He sits there, unsure of what to do and how to move forward. She overheard his conversation with Tyler. Tyler and Maeve are the only people who know the truthabout his wolf and how he hasn’t been able to sense him. They also know that since Lana has come into his, his wolf is much more active in his mind.
It’s nice. He wants to have the full strength of his wolf, Sköll back.
But the more people he lets in on this secret, the more likely it is to get exposed.
He trusts Lana, he doesn’t think she would ever do anything to intentionally hurt him. But… he doesn’t want her to feel like he’s just using her and he knows that’s exactly how she would feel.
Sure, maybe this whole fake relationship started because he thought she could be of some use to him. But now… now, he just wants to be with her regardless of the way his wolf behaves. He doesn’t know how he can convince her of that fact.
Kade takes a heavy breath before cleaning up the living room and then retreating to his own bedroom. The whole time, he hoped that she would emerge from her room and give him another chance.
She wants him. He knows she does. She wouldn’t have blown his mind with that kiss unless she reciprocated these feelings.
His eyes continue to glance towards the hallway. But she never comes out. He knows that she won’t. Not without him explaining the conversation he had.
He lies down in his bed with his arm over his eyes. He already knows that he won’t be able to sleep well tonight. He can’t stop thinking of her.
The dance is this weekend and he doesn’t know what kind of terms he and Lana are on. It should be a no brainer that she would be his plus one, but she’s acted so weird with him lately. She didn’t come to today’s event and if he had to guess she’s going to say that she’s working for the rest of this week.
He hates that she’s trying to put distance between them. He knows it’s because the contract is supposed to come to an end this week. He wants it to be at its end now. He wants her to accept him and let them be together.
He’s tossed and turned all night, it’s early morning when he finally reaches for his phone and calls the one person he knows would always answer and is probably already up. Maeve’s worried voice answers the phone, “What’s wrong p>
Kade releases a long breath, “What makes you think something is wrong p>
“Let’s see, it’s almost five in the morning and you’re calling me. What’s going on p>
“Could you help me figure out what to do about Lana p>
Silence answers him. He hates it. It makes him think of all the times where Lana has just stared at him

whenever he has suggested to end the contract between them.
Finally, Maeve lets out a low whistle before saying, “Man, you’re whipped p>
“I am not!” He argues defensively.
She giggles, “Yes, you are. But it’s okay. It’s nice to see you pining for a girl for once p>
He grumbles, “Are you going to help me or not p>

“You know I am. I love you and I love Lana and I think the two of you would be really good together. What’s going on p>
“She overheard me on the phone with Tyler earlier p>
“Okay, and? Why is that a bad thing p>
“Well, I was talking about how active my wolf is in her presence and how I haven’t felt it like this before p>
Maeve’s tone is full of shock, “She knows that you haven’t been able to feel Skoll p>
“No, she only heard bits and pieces. She tried to ask me about it, but I didn’t tell her. And now, she says we can’t be in a relationship together because there’s obviously something I am keeping from her p>
She hisses between her teeth, “Oof, that’s rough, bro. Sounds like you’re going to need to come clean p>
“I can’t tell her about that!” That would be way too vulnerable. They aren’t there yet. Then again, are they really anywhere right now? Every second feels like another moment that Lana is slipping through his fingers.
Maeve’s voice sounds calm and sisterly, “Kade, if you really care about Lana then you would be willing to move forward with her with trust and honesty. Real relationships require vulnerability. You have to decide if you trust enough and if you want to be with her enough to truly let her in p>
She pauses for a moment, allowing time for him to absorb her words.
Maeve takes a breath, “I think you and Lana could be something amazing, Kade. But you have to decide if it’s worth it. You have to decide if she is worth it so that you can get over yourself and be honest with her. Isn’t there a dance this weekend p>
“Yeah, it’s to celebrate the end of the trials and to announce the alpha who scores the most points p>
“Which will obviously be you.” Maeve states.
Kade thinks back to today, where he did not perform well. He wasn’t the worst in the bunch, but his mind was focused on Lana and he struggled to do well because all he could think of was her. Her and how she didn’t care enough to come support him during the trial week.
“Regardless of if it’s me or not it’ll be important for me to make an appearance p>
“And have you asked Lana to go with you p>

His silence answers her question and she immediately yells, “Goddess! You are such a dumbass. Okay
de, you care about Lana, right p>
“Of course I do,” he responds defensively.
“Okay then, you need to properly ask her to this dance. Make sure that she knows you care. And when you go, you need to make it so obvious that she is it for you. Don’t even glance in another girls direct. Be fully focused on her and only her, okay? Convince her that you are not the playboy that she thinks are p>
“I hear you, sis. I will work on it. Do you think that you can come by and take her shopping? She enjoys spending time with you and I know it would help boost her confidence to have you with her. Take my card, buy her whatever dress she wants p>
The smile on Maeve’s face is obvious through the sound of her voice, “I’ll be by later today. Make sure that you’ve asked her to the dance before I get there. Got it p>
“Yeah, I’ve got it, sis p>
Maeve hangs up the phone leaving Kade to lie on his bed and ponder on what the best plan is. He could make her breakfast again or buy her jewelry.
He thinks and thinks on what he could do to make this special so that she knows how much she means to him and finally, an idea takes shape.
He smiles to himself, this will be perfect.
