Out of all the possibilities, Ruth hadn't expected to see that precious surprise from Raynold. Her eyes moistened as she turned her head to see him smiling proudly because he was confident that his surprise would leave her starstruck.
"Can I hug you, please?"
"If only your mate wouldn't mind."
"Somethings happen according to the human rules too!" Ruth hugged Raynold tightly, and though he was not used to this warmness, he handled himself well and hugged her back.
"Thank you!" Ruth whispered, fighting back her tears. But she felt wetness on her shoulder and she smiled.
She wouldn't ever point out that Alpha Raynold was crying on her shoulder. Because the Alphas didn't like to get reminded of their sensitivity.
Pulling away, she watched his face as dry as ever without any hint of tears as he smiled.
"Now go and get your prince here. Let's see how he likes this surprise."
