RAVEN POV
He has been behind me since I left the pack territory. I should have known. A part of me was angry and annoyed by his stalking pursuits, but the wolf and hopeless romantic in me was relieved that he was close by. I don’t know why. I ruled it to the effects of the dumb mates' bond. Once I was face to face with him, I planned to rip off the proverbial band-aid and jump-start the rejection. Maybe I could find a nice omega to take as my chosen mate once I gained my pack and family a real home.
By completing this mission for the Royal family, I would hopefully become more desirable to someone enough to accept me for who I am. Right?
That was the hope, anyway. Worst case, I could adopt a bunch of stray pets and have a small hobby farm on the edge of town once the pack gained territo
