Chapter 20

Lily POV

            As Jared and I were just getting ready to eat, Rick and Miranda come back into the room.  Rick has his arm around Miranda’s waist as Miranda looks like she would rather be anywhere else.  As Rick helps Miranda to sit beside him, I smirk over at her.  She always thought the mating of wolves was not something she would entertain.  She felt women should be able to choose.  That her mate is a wolf is serendipitous.

            As Rick sits down, he helps Miranda get some of the delicious food prepared and then serves himself.  As they are ready to eat, Rick looks up and looks at Jared, Alex, and me staring at the pair.  He is beaming as he says, “She’s my mate.  Now you guys just have to help me convince her to give me a chance,” he says.  You can tell Rick is already smitten.
