Chapter 0059
Oh, they are so cute. I’m going to die.
Emma is fast to run to my side and takes my hand confidently. I giggle, caressing her hair as we start walking around the pack lands leisurely.
The children are chatting happily, and Astrid as well as Celeste can show me where some places are situated and explain to me some more about the pack lands. They seem to be so vast that I learn more every day.
I’m just about listening to Astrid telling me about a beautiful venue on a small hill, where they usually arrange the annual ball and other festivities, as the children stop and start shouting excitedly.
It takes me a few shouts before I get what they are screaming, also because I move my head instinctively to where they are pointing their little fingers.
“Horses.”
A few horses are standing on a field near the river, looking like they are taking a break with their riders.
My heart can’t skip a beat fast enough as I feel Emma breaking free, and it gets to flip for all another reason.
“Emma, wait. Be careful!” I shout as I run after her, her little legs not making it particularly difficult to keep up with her.
I guess that she will just see the horses from up close and maybe caress them, but I halt in my tracks as I get the confirmation of my bad feeling, and the answer to the question of why she was feeling so comfortable so quickly around me, as I see her running past the horses.
And right into Fynn’s arms.
“Careful, little one,” he scolds her lovingly as he picks her up into his arms.
I scratch my neck as I turn around to see that Astrid and Celeste are coming towards us too with the other children but they are still too far away.
“Are you angering Missy?” He jokes with the child as she giggles in his arms.

Stepping forward, I shake my head. “She isn’t angering me. She just wanted to play, right Emma?”
My eyes widen as the little girl plays with her hair and starts whispering something unintelligible to me. Fynn chuckles as she beams up at him, apparently not shocked about the fact that she just talked to him. “Is that so?”
“Oh, my Goddess. Did she just talk?” I ask, stunned by the fact but he narrows his eyes at me, checking on the teachers approaching.
“Don’t tell them. They would just make her feel uncomfortable,” he answers just in time for Astrid to reach us.
“Hello, Fynn. Sorry for the trouble.” She says apologetically, but he just makes Emma jump up on his arm, getting her to giggle as he flashes his most gorgeous smile. “No worries, Astrid. We were taking a break anyway.”
“Well, time to go.” She holds her hands out and Emma, after distorting her face cutely, gets into her teacher’s arms.
They have already walked a few steps away, the children still looking at the horses mesmerised, as I gather all my courage to face Fynn again.
He is already looking at me, making my heart flip, even if it’s not the nicest look I could expect from a mate.
“What did she say?” I ask, taking a step towards him but he shakes his head. “It’s a secret,” he answers with a mocking grin, making me groan.
“Argh, come on. I had a tough day… Did I do something wrong?” I try again, but he just chuckles.
“Okay. Well then, see you… whenever.” I sigh, as I turn around, waving at Celeste who is already calling for me.
I have barely made two steps as I sense him moving. Before I can realise what he is doing, I feel him wrap his arm around me to pull me close and press his lips against my ear.
My breath hitches in my throat as his mouth–watering scent envelops me

fully, not helping me to blend out his toned body pressing against mine as he whispers huskily,
“She has nice hair. I like her.”
