Where she belongs

Hardulph, Jack and some of the guards watched as Alpha Connor and his mate reunited again. Jack could not hide his happiness, he was genuinely happy that Connor had finally found his mate.

Connor raised Carolina's face away from his chest and peered at her face. Her eyes were still clouded in tears and her shoulders shuddered as the tears rolled off.

Connor wiped them off with his thumb and gave her a smile, "Caro, you're safe now. I won't let you go through this anymore, I will keep you safe forever, believe me" he said with all seriousness. Carolina's face lit up, she smiled in between her tears as Connor pulled her into a hug again.

"Shush, you're safe now" Connor cooed as he patted her head like a little child. Carolina’s heart leapt for joy, she was finally back in the arms of whom she belonged to and that made her elated. Her happiness did not lie in Luc's friendship nor his offer for her to become free, rather it was with Connor, in the arms of her mate.

"Let's go home Connor"
