“No problem.”
Riley glanced at her watch and said, “Oh, my. It’s getting late. You should go home now. My house isn’t far from here, so I can walk back by myself. You don’t have to walk me home.”
“Are you sure?”
Parting ways with Riley here was exactly what I wanted. Caleb was somewhere in the area after all. I was worried that he’d pop up and show himself in front of Riley.
Although Riley had promised to keep it a secret, I didn’t want her to see me with Caleb.
Riley nodded reassuringly. After we bid each other goodbye, she left.
I looked around for Caleb, but there was no sign of him. Perhaps he had left. Just as I was about to sigh in relief, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.
A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y
“Looking for me?”
Startled, I turned around and saw Caleb walking to me slowly.
Contrary to his usual look, he was dressed casually tonight.
Instead of a well-tailored suit, he was wearing only a plaid shirt and jeans, and his shirt wasn’t even properly buttoned. His blonde hair, which was always meticulously combed, was a little disheveled, which somehow added to his charm.
Wait a second. Did he just wake up?
I found the idea a little funny.
“I want my wolf to run around the fields with you, too,” Caleb said in a hoarse voice, glaring at me with jealousy in his eyes.
It seemed that he had seen me and Riley running around as wolves just now.
“I’m too tired. I need to rest,” I replied resignedly.
“Fine.”
Caleb was a little depressed. He the seemed to think of something else.
He suddenly grinned and said, “Debra, your wolf is very beautiful.
She’s the perfect match for my wolf, Damien. But in my opinion, she looks a Little weak.”
Ivy growled discontentedly.
When I was about to defend her, Caleb continued lightly, “But it doesn’t matter. She’ll become stronger once I mark you. And you have nothing to worry about, because I’LL always protect you.”
His sweet words made me blush, so I coughed and tried to change the subject.
“What’re you even doing here? Do you want me to repay you for helping me out earlier?”
“No, I was just worried about you,” Caleb answered seriously. “I sensed that there was something wrong with Adam when I answered the phone just now. I was worried that he might try to hurt you, so I came here as soon as I could.
