Chapter 109

• “Surprise!” Koa exclaimed, his lips pulled up in a grin. “You must be too stunned to speak.”
• Words failed me as I stared at him. I was both surprised and excited. I had made peace with the fact that I may not be able to see him for a while. After leaving my home and coming to this remote place far from my pack and family, I did not expect to see a familiar face. When the familiar face turned out to be Koa, the person I missed the most, I got dumbstruck. Did the goddess see my deepest desires and grant me a wish? I wanted to see him and had been thinking of him, wondering what he was up to and how the crackdown was coming along but now he was in front of me.
• “I-“ As I opened my mouth to confess how much I missed him and how glad I was that he was here, a woman I had not expected to see poked her head out from behind him.
