Chapter 29 : Heat Season
~SINCLAIR~
He'd smelled her wolf the second it came back.
She hadn't come to tell him about it, though, so he decided the best way to handle the situation was to wait. Especially with the way she'd left the dining table last night. She clearly needed some time alone to get through the situation.
Even if he was hurt that she wouldn't confide in him.
He didn't deserve even that, of course. But it stung, nonetheless.
In the meantime, he would gather information about what her wolf's return meant for the Inlands, and how to prepare for when Vannie eventually came to him. He knew the wolf's reappearance would push her into wanting a full connection to the pack, so he and the Inlands had to get ready for that.
