“Don’t oops me. You can’t give me a command like that and then laugh at me.” He was only pretending to be mad. I knew because I could hear the laughter in his voice as he pretended to growl at me.

“That was actually hilarious.” We continued to laugh at each other for a minute while I quickly wrapped another present.

“So, I have something to tell you.”

“What’s that?” I asked him curiously, looking up through a spill of hair that had fallen out of my ponytail during my laughing fit.

“Well two things really. First, the Alpha has managed to get you approved to sit your exams, but only if you do them on Saturday.” He had a big grin on his face.

“OH MY GODDESS! REALLY?” I basically screamed as I jumped to my feet and hugged him again.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you.” I told him and literally jumped for joy. “I am so glad I won’t have to fail all four classes.”

“You’re going to be taking them all consecutively. It will be you and a test proctor in the room. There will be a dozen guards, minimum, stationed around the building. One guard at each entrance, and the others scattered to look like casual bystanders.”

“Wow, so serious.” I said jokingly.

“Don’t joke about this Riviana!” He snapped at me. “You were attacked last time you were there, and you’ve nearly died twice. This is no laughing matter. And in each of those attacks you were the one they were after. The Alpha still doesn’t know how they plan to use you against him, but he knows they want to either hurt, kidnap, or kill you. Don’t take your situation so lightly.” Carter was madder than I had ever seen him before.

“I know Carter, I’m just so happy right now that nothing is going to sound like I am taking it seriously.” I told him. It was the truth, but it wasn’t enough for him, he was still mad. He continued to glare at me uncomfortably.

“I’m just so glad that I will get to start new classes next semester.” I was still on my happy cloud, ignoring Carter’s bad mood as best as I could until he calmed down.

“Yes, but not the way you think.” He popped my happy cloud, forcing me to look at him with confusion.

“What?” I snapped at him.

“You can take classes next semester, but you have to take them remotely for right now.”

“NO!” I growled at him.

“It’s not up to me Riviana, those are orders from the Alpha himself. He says he will get this situation cleared up as fast as he can, but to please work remotely for this one semester until he knows that everything is safe.”

“Why did I have to go and mate with him?” I roared. “My life has been turned upside-down and it will never go back. I want my life back Carter.”

“I’m sorry Rivi.”

“So, was that the second thing you had to tell me?” I asked him halfheartedly.

“No, the second thing had nothing to do with you or your little problems.” He sounded annoyed now, like he wanted to tell me something but didn’t know how to do it.

“What’s wrong Carter?” I was afraid there was going to be more bad news.

“I found my mate.” He smiled, but he sounded really upset about it.

“That’s wonderful news Carter.” I smiled at him.

“No, it’s not. She’s in the enemy pack I was sent to scout.” He looked so dejected as he spoke, like the world was going to implode upon itself and we were all going to die before he could get his mate.

“I can’t go anywhere near her. I can’t tell her who I really am, where I’m really from, or anything. If I did, they would know that Joaquin sent me to spy on them all.” He tried to smile through the pain he felt as he looked at me.

“Carter.” My heart broke, and I cried the tears he was fighting back for him. “We will work something out. Maybe we can convince her to leave that pack and join us.” I tried to sooth him.

“I don’t think she will, she’s the Alpha’s daughter.” I gasped at his words.

“Carter.” I sighed.

I wanted to talk for a little while longer, but Carter was suddenly in a hurry to leave.

“Wait, Carter.” I called out to him. “Take these.” I had packed all the gifts for him, Aunt Eve and Uncle Wesley into a large green bag. He could take them and put them under the tree.

“Don’t you want to deliver them yourself?” He still looked depressed.

“I can’t go anywhere, not until the exams that is.” I reminded him with a sad smile.

“You really haven’t left the house in a month?” It must have been a shock to him to learn that.

“Nope, except for going up into the mountains and forest, and I can’t do that anymore.”

“We will find whoever is responsible for all of this Rivi, we will get your life back to normal.” He declared firmly.

“That ship has sailed, Carter, it will never be normal again.”

“You’re probably right.” He agreed. Everyone who knew me, seeing the direction my life had taken, would agree that my life was never going to be normal again.

I watched Carter leave, a bittersweet feeling deep inside of me. I was happy to have seen him, and happy to be continuing school, but I felt so bad for him right now. I wanted to help him somehow. Maybe I could figure something out. Eventually.

Right now, however, I was just still so happy about what Carter had told me. I was excited for my exams, and glad that I had kept up on my assignments, thanks to all my friends. I wanted to thank Joaquin. I needed to tell him how happy this made me. And I had never thanked him for saving me last time either.

Just then I caught his scent. I didn’t know if he was leaving or going back to his room. I had to hurry. I ran down the hall as fast as I could and was at the top of the stairs and the connecting hallway before I knew it. I saw him, walking toward his room, his tall broad back facing me and growing smaller the farther he went down the hall.

Without thinking I ran after him.
