Afternoons were getting warmer and the sudden change in temperature was having a positive effect on Alexey’s overall behavior. She was a little calmer, almost laid back. The Lillium’s children were off playing with the Rosea’s second cousins, which left the pack’s Caregiver with nothing to do. She’d initially planned on finding Drey and spending some quality time with him, but he was nowhere to be found. The Acer had tracked her mate’s scent all the way to the southern border. It became obvious that he’d left the pack lands a short while ago.
She was debating going after him when a female’s scent reached her nostrils. Alexey felt a pang of jealousy as her mind wrongly associated Drey’s smell with this other girl. It was a little silly, but she couldn’t control the different scenarios being played in the back of her mind. Despite her unfounded and ridiculous suspicions, Lexey decided to seek this loner out. She couldn’t allow anyone to come this close to Dahlia de Mai. And, well, she had nothing better to do.
“Patience is a virtue,” she chanted, arriving just in time to hear the youngster’s last comment. Alexey had expected to find someone a little older. This girl was barely a year old, way too young to be wandering on her own. “Can I help you?”
