56

I was completely frozen and just stared at the doctor like a ghost. However, he had only made a contemptuous face and pushed me back out of the room. Right behind me he had closed the door again and I could still hear the door lock clicking.

Damned! What do I do now?

Why did the werewolves have to have such weird rules?

Did they even make sense and couldn't Tyler just change them? Or was it more like a supreme law that not even he could break.

"Oh Lily? You've been waiting for me.", Tyler followed, who had been held up in the main hall before. "

Is everything alright? You know you could have gone upstairs without me?" He asked me, sounding worried .

But I just couldn't look at him directly. Somehow I was afraid that he could read my face what was wrong and I wanted to think about it myself first.

After all, I could already guess what Tyler was going to say to me.

That he doesn't want to force me; It is entirely my decision; That even the twins wouldn't force me...

Unsure I looked to the side, randomly in the direction of the stairs.

"Oh, that's it!", Tyler suddenly spoke and confused me completely. Hadn't he already noticed what was going on? "There are just

too many steps up and you were probably hoping I could bring you back up." , he said with conviction.

I looked at him in surprise. I really didn't expect the answer.

But after a moment I just nodded.

Tyler would rather think that than keep pondering what could be.

Tyler pulled me into a hug.

"Of course I'll do that for you Lily.", he said and kissed my forehead. "

Then we'll take you upstairs, I wanted to talk to you anyway.", he said and picked me up as I would be a bride to be carried across the threshold on the wedding day.

I clung to his neck, but at the same time wondered what he wanted to talk to me about as he started to move.

Did he perhaps want to tell me about the matter of the twins' mate after all?

It took, thanks to werewolf speed, only a few seconds until we were on the top floor and entered our 'apartment' here in the pack house.

Apart from the bedroom I had seen a lot of this. Tyler lowered me onto a huge sofa.

I looked around with interest. This room here, which was in front of the bedroom, was almost exclusively in green and brown tones. Indoor plants are stranded everywhere and a few well-placed lamps provided enough light. These were really necessary in the room, because the few windows that were here didn't really get much light into the room.

"So." Tyler said and sat down next to me: "What do you say to that?" He put some papers with drawings on the low table in front of us. I looked at this confused. but the drawings didn't really mean anything to me. I looked questioningly at Tyler.

,,These are construction drawings for our new house. One of the pack has learned that and has already made some drawings that would be possible. We would even have already found a good place in the territory where we can build the houses. If we make good progress, we could move in in a month."

I looked at him in amazement. Only a month? Were they so incredibly quick with things like that too?

With a little more context now, I looked at the drawings again. Now the shapes finally seemed to make sense, even if to be honest it didn't really help me to imagine the houses.

And then there was the fact that I was actually thinking about completely different things.

Tyler had shown me the pros and cons of each design, but I couldn't really get into that, let alone say which one I liked best. He seemed to notice that at some point and promised me that he would try to digitize it somehow so that I could get a better impression. He also spoke of showing me soon where the house was to be built and how, having already seen the place, he found it. I wasn't really listening to him. Instead, I thought of a way to explain my sudden change of heart on the subject of bites to Tyler. I had already made up my mind. I didn't want to, just because I was afraid that the twins would have to live with the uncertainty of not knowing if their mate would ever wake up again.

"You seem thoughtful, are you okay?" Tyler interrupted himself and eyed me worriedly. I nodded quickly. Tyler didn't have to worry too much about my problems. As the new alpha of a pack, he had more than enough to do and of course my business was also kind of werewolf stuff, but I had to make the decision, it was my life after all. "

Okay...", he said, but didn't sound really convinced.

There was a knock at the door. Tyler got up pretty quickly and opened it. In front of it was another werewolf that I thought I saw in the hall below, but was otherwise unknown to me.

"Alpha, the planning is done. Everything can go according to plan." "Great, good of you to let me know. You can go now." "Yes Alpha."

The man disappeared again and Tyler closed the door again. I looked at him questioningly. That already sounded ominous.

Tyler just smiled and scratched his head. "Oh, I have another surprise for you ." I raised my eyebrows. It probably would have looked better if I had done it with just one eyebrow, but I just couldn't. The main thing was anyway that Tyler knew what I wanted to express with my facial expression.

He sat down next to me on the sofa again and took my hands in his, somehow even looking a little nervous.

"You can see Maria in a few days."

I looked at him confused. Maria? My sister Maria? How did Tyler even know her name? Had I written it to him before? Or was it in some file

? Kinda expected more enthusiasm now." Tyler said with a grin. He had obviously noticed that I was just overwhelmed. ,,Anyway we can go soon, stay two nights in accommodation in your hometown and on the day we are there you can see them all the time. The meeting is already organized, only your sister doesn't know who she's meeting yet. I thought it would be a nice surprise for them too."

I hugged him happily. I would finally see my sister again. How had Maria fared in the last few months? Did she suffer a lot because I didn't come back from the werewolf clinic? Was she maybe even better off without me since she didn't have to worry about me anymore and had to pull me along? Was she perhaps even more avoided than with me, since her sister was not only physically impaired, but was now also the mate of a werewolf? I was aware of how cruel people could be to each other, especially when it was even remotely related to werewolves. Actually, I didn't mean to think so negatively. It was great that I would see Maria again, but I just couldn't just focus on the positive
