She woke up feeling the warmth of the sunlight shine through her window looking beside her bed it was empty as if someone has been with her last night.

She slowly got off and went straight to the shower then head to make breakfast for herself. Indeed surprisingly she found Kiev’s back facing her in the kitchen.

He must have come in this morning since he also has a key to her apartment. She tips toe and hugs him from behind “morning” she whispers in the crook of his neck “morning beautiful” he replied. “So you ready for today,” she plays with her finger where the gold ring rested.

Last night Kiev has proposed to her and she said yes to him. They’ve only just got back together three months ago. After they both left the pack they went on their separate ways until she met him again. He asked her out and she didn’t want to turn him down again as Kiev been asking her nonstop.

Their relationship hasn’t reached the last two steps, they still kiss, make out but they never took it further. She always held back and she felt guilty every time she did so as she could see that he really wants to do it but she just wanted to wait don’t know why maybe because her mate’s words still engraved in her heart.

Also last night she has a nightmare where she saw Dante dies in front of her eyes, Kiev who was to go home heard her scream from down the hall rushes back into the apartment to comfort her. She never told him about it and she refuses to let him stay overnight. They may be just engaged but there are still boundaries that need to be kept.

“Are you sure, you’re ready to go back,” she nodded her head “yup I’m so ready,” he pecks her lips then settles down to have her breakfast? Before she met Kiev again she has made a promise to herself that she would go back to her pack and made make amends with Dante whom she holds grudges to.

Kiev wasn't and was never in her plan. He was unexpected but she was glad he came around as he has helped her out being the person that tries to fill the broken shards. They clean up everything after breakfast and went to catch their flight back to her old pack.

“It’s good to be back,” she sighs while squeezing Kiev’s hand “come now, we have to go” she got out of the car and drag Kiev along with her.

She knocks on the door there was no answer, she knocks again this time someone opens it, there stood a woman wearing a summer dress with an apron as if she was cooking, “Judy who is it,” she knew that voice it was her brother in law Cameron. He froze once he sees hers before running and hug her spinning her around.

“Oh My, where have you been?” he asks before he growls at Kiev taking a protective stance in front of her, his hand on her wrist now.

“Oh where are my manners, right remember him” she pointed to Kiev “he was my boyfriend, now my fiancé,” she excitedly shows them the ring.

She saw Cameron’s look harden then he extends out his hand “nice to see you again” he didn’t seem to look pleased, which she wanted to confront him but she is just exhausted.

"Hi there," she waves at the lady "oh right this is Judy Clyde's babysitter" she slightly smiles at her.

"Now where's my nephew?" Cameron took her by the arm Kiev follow behind them with Judy.

"There he is all grown up" she rushes picking him up then spins him around.

"Gosh can't believe you're all grown up if only" she started to tear up when she thought of Holly and Laura.

They still haven't found their body or know whether they are alive or not. Cameron seeing her like that came and hug her "shhh everything will be okay, we have to let them live in peace Dani" she nodded her head wiping off her tear then set him down again to play with his toy.

She went and sat on the couch opposite Cameron. Kiev sat near her on the same couch "what was I missing?" she asks as her eyes move between Judy and him. "Quite a lot but I think you need to rest first, are you staying with him?" Cameron motion at Kiev.

"Oh no, I will be staying with you guys if that's okay with you"

"none sense of course you are."

They talk for a while before Kiev left to go then follow by Judy then she heads up to her old room to rest. When she woke up again it was dark outside so she showers first before heading down. Clyde has already sleep leaving her and Cameron alone.

After two years it felt so empty without the presence of Holly and Laura. Cameron stood by the counter with food already being served, she took a seat then started to devour her dinner as she was so hungry. Latterly when they were done and clean up the kitchen Cam finally decided to talk to her in the living room.

“Are you sure about this?” Cameron asks her “you know he’s not Dante your mate.”

“yes, Cameron I am a hundred percent sure.”

He sighs heavily “It feels like you’re making the same mistake again” she shook her head in denial even though she knew deep down inside her she still wishes it was Dante instead of him and she will regret this.

“No, I won’t”

“yes, you will Dani, and guess what he’s also going to marry the Luna of the Crescent, Allen’s sister.”

Tears started to well up in her eyes “then why do you still want me to be with him when clearly he is going to mate someone”

“because he is forced into, if he doesn’t then the rogues will invade his territories as right now they're getting weak in their defense. You have no idea what has been going on throughout the past two years”

Too late she thought “I just can’t” Cameron took her in his arms when she saw her tears “just give it a thought please Dani’ and all she could do was nodded her head.

"Oh by the way the Dante you used to know no longer the Dante we know," Cameron says when he was to go up to his room.

Daniella instantly felt guilty and shame filling her remembering a year ago Cora and Dantes's older sister Zoe came to look for her. It was the first time she met a very elegant woman.

Their encounter was refreshing yet the ending was disappointing simply because when Zoe keeps begging her to come back for him Daniella immediately rejected her pleading.

Twirling the golden ring on her finger she smiles at Cameron "oh yeah."
