My dad was waiting for me downstairs. He seemed pretty happy with himself, which I attributed to the fact that Amalia had found her mate. Now we could probably return home soon. The respective packs still had to decide for the wedding, or mating ceremony, and a lot of important decisions had to be made. Where were they gonna live. Which pack they were going to join.... Was Amalia going to stay with us and was her mate going to take over the pack, or was she going with him and follow his parents up as their Luna?

'-Hey sweetie! Everything all right? Did you sleep ok?' my father sounded genuinely concerned, and with surprise I realized i hadn't seen him in almost all week.

-Yes dad, I'm fine....- i murmured, taking a seat at one of the tables in the restaurant of the hotel. A waiter dropped of the menus and I started reading one. When the waiter came back I ordered a bunch of pancakes with maple sirup and butter. My dad ordered toast with bacon and eggs.

'So, Amalia called..... She said she found her mate- I commented as I sipped from the fresh orange juice a waitress just brought to our table.

-Yes.... Hes the son of the Alpha of the biggest pack in the US- my dad said, unable to keep the awe out of his voice.

-The Blackforest pack?- I sputtered, nearly choking.

-Yup. Declan Silverbane is his name. Morgan is talking to the packs Alpha to see that all the arrangements go perfectly- he was downing his breakfast like it was his last meal.

-She sounded really happy- I told him as I started on my mount Everest of pancakes.

-Amalia was in the clouds. The bond between the two of them was very strong right away- my father had finished his toast and was now shoving the egg inside his mouth-Which means we can leave tomorrow.

-What?!- I gasped, nearly dropping my fork.

-We´re leaving. Tomorrow at noon. The preparations will be completed sooner but that gives us some time to say our goodbyes and get our business in order.

-Oh.....that´s....great- my voice was soft, barely more then a whisper.

-Honey, I know you thought this trip was going to be more time spend together.....I thought you felt excluded now. ´Thought you´d like to leave- he was staring at me from across the table.

-i am. Really. It´s just so... sudden- I lied, biting my lip.

-Don't worry... everything is going to be ok. I promise- My dad said, returning his attention to the bacon.

We talked for a while, mostly about pack business. My dad had some good contacts, and had heard all the latest gossip over the last couple of days.

When he left, I remained seated, my hands resting in my lap as I thought about things. I didn't really know what to do. I wanted to see Cy again. I really really wanted to see him. Just thinking about him made me smile. No one had had that effect on me. Not even Tyler.

Tyler had been my boyfriend. We´d been together for 16 months. Then he turned 18 and found his mate. She was from another pack, and he left to be with her and her family. Emily I believe her name was. 

And yet he never had the mesmerizing effect on me that Cy had. Whenever i thought about Cy, my heart seemed to skip a beat. i know it sounds cheesy, but it was true. My skin tingled just at the thought of his kisses, the feeling edged in my memory with clarity. I had to see him again.
