Chapter 435

GET IT NOW Chapter 0435 She turns back to Alpha Christopher. “You're welcome to lick me if you want to.”

Alpha Christopher smiles at her. “Maybe we should get to know each other before either of us considers licking the other.” He tells her kindly.

“Oh, | would love to spend more time with you. Do you have time now? | could show you the forest.”

He looks at us. We all shrug.

He turns back to her. “As it turns out, | have some free time. I’d love to see the forest.” He leans in to her, smiling mischievously.

“Would you like to meet my wolf?”

“Oooooh, oh yes. Yes | would.” She says, and her entire body quivers in excitement. He chuckles, turning back to us. “Excitable little ones, aren’t they?”

“You have no idea.” Eli says dryly, shaking his head. “But you’ve been warned Alpha. They take licking very seriously.”

Alpha Christopher looks at us like we’re crazy. “Why would | lick her?” He asks quietly.

Eli shrugs. “The wolves in my pack have as much fascination with them as they do with us. If you're going to shift. I’d be prepared to keep your wolf under control.”

He turns back to Fanella. “Okay. Lead the way, little one. Or are you going to finally give me your name?” Alpha Christopher says. Fanella tells him her name before leading him into the forest.

“Funichio.” | say, as he watches them leave. “I’m not sure when King Ailduin will be free, mayb try back at dinner time?” | tell him.

He looks at me, before turning back to where Alpha Christopher has disappeared into the forest. Maybe I'll help Fanella show the Alpha around while | wait.” He says, before flitting off after ther “We warned him.” Is all Eli says before shaking his head.

We have a couple hours before dinner, so Cara, Angel and | head down to Main Street to pick u the items they ordered last weekend. They are thrilled with their clothing and order more for others in their pack.

As we're walking back to the pack, | notice that the flowers in the front of the packhouse look more vibrant than usual. | shrug it off as the sprites doing their thing. However, when we get inside the packhouse, | see everyone staring into the back yard. | rush over, seeing Summer among those looking outside.

“Summer, what’s going on?”

“Luna, look.”

| follow the direction she’s pointing, and | realize that the back of our packhouse and even to edge of the forest around us looks almost magical. The flowers are all blooming and in beautiful color, more colorful than I’ve ever seen in nature. The trees have all turned a vibrant shade of green on their leaves and the trunks are the brightest shade of brown that I’ve ever seen.

“What's happening?” | ask.

“We have no idea.”

“Where are the sprites, are they doing this?” | ask, looking around.

“It's not us, Luna.” Lelani says.

“We aren’t strong enough to make everything this bright.” Lolana says.

“Then who?” | ask, knowing no one has the answer. | see Eli looking around and | walk over to him “What in the goddess’s name is going on?” He asks me.

“| have no idea.”

As we watch, the plants continue to perk up, getting impossibly brighter. “Look at the garden.” El says, pointing as Cara, Rik, Liam and Angel walk up and join us.

The garden is plush and overgrowing with fruits and vegetables. “Whatever it is, | want it in my pack.” Angel says, looking around in awe.

As we continue to stare. Aolis comes around the corner of the packhouse, holding Lily. “Aolis, do you know what’s going on?” |

ask him.

He stops, looking around as if he hadn’t noticed the change in the foliage around the backhouse before smiling broadly and looking back at us.

“Father is extremely happy.”
