Savannah’s POV

            Being angry was really hard when the person you’re mad at was acting like the most amazing man alive. Cade was truly in rare form and was literally doing everything in his power to make me happy. He walked around constantly like he had a plan that needed to be fulfilled where I was concerned. He was pampering me like I was a queen by preparing all three meals of the day and giving me cute little presents every night that showed just how much he knew me. One night he got me a bouquet of my favorite flowers calla lilies, the next night he gave me a first edition copy of my favorite book Pride and Prejudice, and another night he gave me the most beautiful locket with pictures of both of us inside. When I woke up each morning he would tell me how much he loved me and when we went to bed each night he’d let me know how lucky he felt to have me in his life. Throughout the day when we weren’t together he’d even send me cute little texts to let me know he was thinking about me. Most of the time his sweetness nearly made me become a puddle on the floor.

            One Friday exactly two weeks after our big fight he brought me with him to work so that I could put my opinions in on the rogue situation. All the higher ups in the pack besides Liam and Cade’s father Peter seemed super uncomfortable when I first walked in to the room. There were only males in the room and I could tell they thought I was just some weak little female who didn’t know the first thing about battle tactics. When I opened my mouth to give my viewpoint on how to track the unscented rogues without taxing the patrol wolves everyone’s doubts were quickly squashed. Great Hills relied far too much on brute strength and wolf senses when in reality they could use technology to add an extra advantage to the borders. I suggested that we set up monitors lining the territory so that if anyone or anything crossed them we would be immediately alerted. I’d used the technology in several of my missions with the Guardians and they were all successful. If we added a witch’s protection spell so that they couldn’t be detected then that would also keep the rogues unaware. I left that meeting with a lot of respect from most of the wolves in the room and it made me feel like I had a piece of myself back.

            That night as we were lying in bed I couldn’t shut my mind off.  I kept fiddling with his newest gift of a white gold bracelet that had belonged to his grandmother. Cade was silent beside me and I was pretty sure he was sound asleep, but I continuously thought about everything that had happened in the past few months. Was I ready to forgive Cade? I mean obviously he was keeping his word about respecting me and involving me in the pack. He’d brought me to that meeting earlier and had been asking me my opinions on even the littlest things all week. He’d even been trying to teach me all the packs inner workings, and I literally knew everything there was to know about the pack, well as much as I could remember with all that information being thrown at me.

            Would he continue to treat me like this even after I’d forgiven him or would he want to keep me domesticated like he’d mentioned before? A Luna’s role truly was to be a caretaker to the pack but I didn’t know if I could do that in the traditional way.

     “What are you thinking so hard about over there?” Cade’s voice cut through the darkness startling me. He turned on to his side to face me and propped his head on his hand so he could look at me better.
