The journey to Redwood was faster than Marisol expected. She had wanted to bask in the moment and feel every emotion as she embarked on a new chapter of her life.
Most females would have been afraid to leave. They would have been terrified of the unknown, but Marisol had been trained her whole life to lead. She had been in the Dark Moon all her life and felt that she was ready to take on new adventures.
Most people only saw the part where her parents doted on and pampered her, never the behind-the-scenes of her training and lessons with both her parents and pack members. So they’d expected her to be a brat.
Sometimes, she let them believe it and played the perfect part. Other times, she allowed herself to stun them. She wondered what person she should take on in Redwood. She looked at the profile of her mate and was stunned. It was as if she was just seeing him for the first time.
He wasn’t what she expected her mate to look like. His dark hair was slicked back, his grey eyes were focused on the road ahead, and his pristine dark suit showed class.
He looked like someone who lived by strict rules and principles. She didn’t know if she found that comforting or a bit scary.
As soon as they crossed the Dark Moon’s border, Marisol felt fatigued. She yawned a couple of times and placed her head on Caleb’s shoulder.
“I’m tired,” she murmured. It was so unlike her.
