I smile sadly but step forward and kiss Nic’s cheek, although it hits more of his jaw than his cheek due to the height difference. [color=#DB7093]”Who do you want to call, Mr. Singh or Mr. Scott?”[/color]

I completely understood why Nic hesitated to deal with the police, but that was because he was a human, and they were trying to keep him away. Of course, when his parents initially went missing, they didn’t know it was a supernatural incident. It wasn’t until they called Caden and me that they figured out what was happening. Working with them was frustrating; sometimes, this treaty created more roadblocks than anything, but they were trying. I just hoped that Nic wouldn't be hurt if we went through with this.

I turn my head when Nero enters and look into their arms to see their cats. I grin when I see them. That was a good sign. I offer my hand to the cats to sniff and take the one who seems more inclined to me and hold them to help Nero out. I scratch the cat’s head and look back at Kimiko.

[color=#006400]”I appreciate your concern, Kiki. I know you worry about me like I worry about you, but I want this. I want this like I haven’t wanted anything in a long time.”[/color] I look from Kimiko back to Nero and put my fingers under their chin to turn their head to look at me. [color=#006400]”They make me feel like living for something again,”[/color] I say softly, looking into Nero's eyes.

Nero enters the room carrying cats, and I shift awkwardly again. Oh great. I expect the situation to get more awkward, but it oddly deflates. I glance between all three of them while they talk. Caden’s declaration makes me happy for him but also sad at the same time.

Werewolves mate through a mating bond that is supposed to snap into place by the wolf inside the human immediately, but it won’t take if the human doesn’t accept it. Of course, humans almost always accept it. Of course, I’ve seen it happen, but I’ve never believed it. Mostly because I am in my eighties and haven’t found anyone. I’m glad Caden has found someone, but it just reminds me that I haven’t.
