Chapter 551

• Duncan
• After receiving my sister's forgiveness, I feel the pain I'd carried in my chest for ten years slowly dissipate. We are sitting on the kitchen island, all four of us, now eating the horrible pasta Nalani had made us for dinner. She seemed so impressed with her cooking skills that we could not tell her how awful the food was.
• My relationship with Nalani has improved so much, and I'm happy about that; we go on dates, and she joins me for pack duties; she makes a fine Luna. However, she hasn't let me mark her yet and refuses to sleep in my bed. It bothers my lycan and whines about it, but I'm patient; after my history with women, it's a given that she'd be reserved to give her all to me. But I let her mark me, to show her how much I'm committed to this relationship.
