Chapter 63 - Rival River Pack

• Daisy -
• Maddie and I didn’t speak during the drive to Rival River Pack, I could tell she was deep in thought and I didn’t particularly want to talk to her either, I was still holding back, she could well be my future sister but I couldn’t help thinking she needed Cassie’s forgiveness before I could let her in. I knew some of the things that she had done to Cassie, and if Cassie could forgive her then I would too, but I have to admit, knowing Cassie, she will forgive Maddie just to keep the peace. Cassie sees the good in everyone. Even if Cassie does forgive Maddie, I still don’t think I will be able to fully accept her as Dave’s mate, too many things just don’t add up for me. Dave told me they had decided to wait to complete their bond, he told me they had talked about it and I completely understood Dave’s point of view, I mean, I was using the same excuse to hold off Joe, but in my case Joe had been the one to suggest it, from what Dave told me Maddie didn’t give a reason, she just accepted Dave’s choice. Some would probably just think she is being understanding, but I get the impression she is hiding something, I get the feeling she has her own reasons for holding off on completing the bond. Unfortunately Dave is smitten so I haven’t told him any of this, but Joe has been a huge comfort to me, listening to me and even offering some advice. I didn’t like the advice, but I appreciated it all the same. Joe and I both speak our minds and our bond is so strong already that I am almost positive that I would know when he was lying to me.
• So we travel in silence, along the winding road up to Cassie’s pack house. I pull into a spot right in front of the main door and turn off the engine. Maddie doesn’t move for a moment, then she turns to look at me.
