Vander shakes his head. “I wish I’d have your brains,” he mutters.

I listen in interest, although I don’t quite understand what they’re talking about. It must be about Eric’s work. Eric asks Arden a few questions about historical details concerning a certain area in France, to which the guy answers without even blinking. When they’re finished, I link Eric.That boy, Arden, how does he know so much?

He is a genius,Eric explains.He has a photographic memory and can remember any detail he has ever read.

Cool, must have come in handy in school!

I said the same.

Eventually, Eric shoos the guys away, not without telling Vander to help his brother get a new hearing aid. Then he scoops me up into his arms. “And now, let me show you your new home.”

Epilogue #2 – The Surprise Party

*MARIUS*

Twoweekslater.

“Where are we going?” I inquire for what feels like the hundredth time. Celine made sure I dressed elegantly today. For a second, I contemplate annoying her by dressing inappropriately, just to tease her, but the last time I did that, she stayed true to her threat and didn’t take me along.

You don’t tease my girl.

She is dressed in a pastel pink knee-length dress, which is absolutely out of her comfort zone color-wise. It makes me curious as to why she would wear such a dress, especially now that we’re approaching fall and it’s getting a bit colder. The dress snuggles around her body in a perfect fit though, so I definitely won’t complain. Goodness, her ass looks fabulous in it.

I move my hand toward her perky ass, but she smacks it away with a laugh. I shake my hand, mock-pouting. “Baby, do you always have to hit so hard?”

“I wouldn’t,” she smirks. “If you hadn’t already tried to grope me three times before.”

I grin. “Guilty,” I admit before I eye her curiously. “So, you really aren’t going to tell me where we are heading to?” I ask again.

“No, technically, only a very few guests know,” she explains.

“And what am I if not a guest?” I grin.

“My plus one,” she teases.

I wiggle my brows. “I like that. Sounds dirty.”

Celine grabs my face and kisses me, but doesn’t answer my very subtle flirting. Instead, she grabs my hand and drags me out the door and through the pack house. “Have fun!” Harmony yells from her office.

“Wait? She knows where we are going?” I raise my brows. “She isn’t even a guest, it seems.”

“True, but she is my beta and needs to know where I am going,” Celine says in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Let me repeat my question: And what am I?” I grin. “Your boy-toy?”

She rolls her eyes at my comment. “I’ve only known for a few days myself, so really, I promise you’ll know what’s going on in an hour or so. I had to keep it a secret.”

“Keep what a secret?” I pause. “Baby, you are not dragging me somewhere to propose to me, are you?”

Again, she rolls her eyes. “No, that one thing will really be your job. Now don’t be such a baby and come.”

When I try to link to Cyrus to complain about how we are both left in the dark, I just receive aWho cares?from him before he keeps going on and on about how hot his mate looks in her dress… like a lovesick pup.

Alright, no help from my lycan either, though he is technically right. She looks fucking perfect.

I resign myself to my fate eventually and follow Celine to the car where Garret is waiting for us, our driver for the day, it seems. “You both look slamming,” he beams. He is wearing jeans and a green polo shirt.

“I honestly prefer your attire,” I mutter.
