Jared left to take care of Aries. We’d spent some time together, and he told me that his wolf was finally settled down enough to let him leave and do what he had to do.
I missed him, even though our bond wasn’t the same.
To keep my mind busy, and my wolf occupied instead of moping over Jared’s absence, I focused all my energy on the renovations.
Standing in the garden, I oversaw the work being done to repair the plaster exterior of the pack house.
“How’s it looking?” I asked the head contractor.
“We’ll be done with the south side this afternoon. Tomorrow, we’ll get started on the east side.”
“Great. When do you think the whole thing will be done? I’ve got to schedule painters.”
The head contractor looked at his clipboard. “We’ll be done by the end of the week.”
“Thank you.”
