Battle of Fate 30

We arrived in the town in the afternoon and I guided Martin to the diner. I had barely got out of the
car when I found myself in a hug. CeCe squealed as she hugged me. I laughed and hugged her
back.
“You look amazing!” she told me.
“Look who’s talking. You are radiating,” I said to her. She giggled.
“I am annoyingly happy,” she confessed, making me laugh.
“As you should be. Come and meet my friend,” I said and pulled her over to where Martin stood
with an amused smile. “CeCe this is Martin, Martin this is CeCe, the bride to be,” I introduced
them.
“Hello, and congratulations,” he said.
“Thank you and welcome to the metropolitan we call home.” CeCe leaned in to me. “That’s not the
man you left with,” she whispered. Martin could hear her with his improved hearing, and he had to
fight not to laugh.
“I know,” I whispered back.
“Where is the other one? Did you dump him?” she continued our whispered conversation.
“I told you, me and Finlay are just friends. He had to go on a business trip,” I explained.
“And you just had a spare hunk lying around? What is this place you have moved to and can I come
as well?” she asked. Martin had to pretend to look for something in the back of his car. But my
hearing and the slight shaking of his shoulders told me he was laughing.
“CeCe!” I pretended to be shocked. “You are getting married tomorrow.”
“I know. But I mean,” she said, doing a small gesture behind Marin’s back, indicating his ass. I
laughed.
“I’m happy you haven’t changed,” I told her. She sighed and shook her head.

‘No one is buying the friends act,’ Martin mind linked me as we said goodbye to Mrs Andersen.
‘Apparently not. We are lucky we didn’t decide to pretend to be dating. They would have made
tomorrow into a double wedding,’ I told him and I could see him snickering. We got ready for bed.
Martin offered to sleep on the floor, which I refused. We were all adults and I trusted him. The bed
was big enough for the two of us to sleep in without it being awkward. Before we went to bed, I
called Finlay and Martin called Sam. Everything was going well at the meeting of the packs,
according to Finlay. But I heard how tired he sounded and I knew something was up. But it wasn’t
the time to talk about it. If he told me everything was fine, whatever it was that bothered him didn’t
have an impact on the pack. So it could wait until we all were back home again.
