Chapter 236

“He’s my father’s best friend. They worked at the Academy together for years. Both of them lost their fated mates and used the Academy to
find their way again. I grew up hearing their stories of the Academy, learning from the best how to spar and how to use my senses. It’s why my second heightened sense, smell, is almost as good as my first, which is hearing.”
I pull my face away from his neck to look at him. “And you still learned things and improved at the Academy?” I ask, surprised.
“Every instructor has something different to teach you. Even the other Alphas in the Academy bring their own knowledge, their own way of doing things with them. I tried to absorb as much as I could in the six months that I was there.”
I lay my head against his chest again, tucking my face against his throat. It feels very comfortable sitting like this.
“Your parents must be very proud of you,” I say.
“I think so. Now, my sister she’s a different story.‘
…
“You haven’t mentioned her before,” I say.
I feel him press his lips to my forehead.

“Sebastiana is Shane’s age, and I expect that the two of them will go to the Academy at the same time, so I’m glad that they’re meeting now.”
“Why is that?” I ask,
“Your pack seems pretty isolated from the other packs. I think it will be

good for Shane to know someone before he goes to the Academy Of course, Sebi might rub him the wrong way. She’s doesn’t do a good job of filtering what comes out of her mouth, and she really doesn’t care who likes it and who doesn’t.”
“She’s not worried that her mate will be offended by that?” I ask, remember my mother saying that I should always be appropriate so my mate would be thrilled that the Moon Goddess had chosen me for him.
“According to Sebi, if the Moon Goddess knows her at all, then she’ll mate her to a man that has big enough balls to handle her.”
I sit up quickly, positive that Christian is joking. His face is completely serious, and he just shakes his head.
“I agree that the Moon Goddess doesn’t make mistakes. But honestly, whoever ends up with my sister better have balls of steel.”
A laugh bursts out of me unexpectedly. I cover my mouth with my hand, my eyes going wide.
“You can laugh, it’s funny. And you think I’m joking? Wait until you meet her. I’ll be shocked if you don’t have a headache before the end of the first day she’s here,” he reaches out and pulls my hand away from my mouth.
“You don’t need to hide from me. Not your grief, not your happiness, not anything,” he says, his deep voice resonating inside me, making my wolf sit up in my head.
Well, he doesn’t need to know about the dirty thoughts of him that I have while I’m masturbating. I’ll definitely be keeping THAT to myself.
I put my head against his chest again so he can’t see the flush on my cheeks.

He leans back, settling me against him and beginning to rub his fingers in my hair, massaging my scalp.
I try unsuccessfully to keep the moan from slipping out, but damn, the man has magic hands.
He chuckles. “I take it that feels good?”
“Yes,” I murmur, hoping he won’t stop.
Thankfully, he doesn’t. He just continues to massage my scalp, running his fingers through my hair and making goosebumps rise all over my scalp, shoulders, and back.
