Chapter 39

• LAVENDER’S POV
• I glanced at my reflection in the mirror before turning to meet Caramel’s gaze. “I am ready,” I said, and on cue, his phone chimed in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at the screen for a minute before turning to me. “They just arrived,” he informed me, and I squealed in delight.
• He chuckled, then took my hand and placed a kiss on my forehead. “Let’s go,” he said, and I nodded, feeling like a child given a lollipop. I had not seen my parents in months. It was unusual. Before joining this pack, I always saw my parents. It was occasionally unsettling and frustrating when I couldn’t find any time for myself because they were constantly around. However, it has been months now since I last heard from them, whether in person or otherwise, and all I want is to have a conversation with them again. Caramel gave me his hand, and I wasted no time in taking it. As usual, he placed a kiss on the back of my palm before leading me out of the room.
