Chapter 25

“Hey, Darby.”

Darby beamed widely at Dillon. He looked so happy, it reminded Dillon of an eager puppy sticking its tongue out and wagging its tail nonstop.

“Hey!” Darby greeted. “I know we’re supposed to meet at eight, but I woke up at four, and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I did some exercises in my bedroom and jogged around the pack land with some of the other wolves. When I finished, it was only a quarter past six. Then I showered, and I thought I could wait patiently in my bedroom, but I couldn’t. So, here I am. I hope it’s okay.”

Dillon chuckled, feeling amused by Darby’s rambling, and hugged his werewolf soul mate tightly. “It’s fine. You never need an excuse to stop by.”

He felt Darby relax in his embrace. He had no idea why Darby was nervous about visiting him and Riordan.

“Thank you.”

Dillon moved back slightly and smiled at Darby. “You’re welcome. Come in. I haven’t cooked breakfast yet. You can help me if you like.”

Darby nodded. “Just tell me what to do.”
