That’s kind of insane, but it’s also one of the sweetest things I’ve ever heard or anyone doing.
I used to think this guy was too good to be true. Turns out an Alpha can be just this perfect.
“Wouldn’t it be easier to buy her a whole new car?”
He smiles. “It would, but she bought that old one with her own money when she lived in Fallen Pines. It means something to her. It got her out of there. It brought her here. She might complain about it sometimes, but she loves that car.”
“Huh,” I murmur. I would never have thought about it like that.
“I’ll keep it running for her as long as she wants. I can get you a car if you want one.”
I blink at him. “Um, what?”
“I’m good a picking up bargains and fixing them up,” he reminds me. “And I’ve been looking for a new project.”
“Uh …” I trail off because I don’t know what to say.
I don’t think anyone’s ever offered to buy me something before.
That can’t be completely true, but in this moment, I literally can’t think of a single time another person has offered to buy me an ice-cream, let alone something as huge as a car.
I mean, other than Amanda, who turned my bedroom into a forest last night just to remind me of the night we first met. She’s my mate, and I know she’s amazing.
Sean’s my Alpha, and I know he’s amazing, too.
But his offer took me by surprise, and now I can’t seem to settle my emotions enough to speak.
I can feel my throat closing up as I try to think of something to say.
I’m so damn used to fending for myself that I don’t know how to react.
He nods. “I’ll check a few listings in the morning. See what I can find.”
I manage to nod back, still feeling like I’m going to tear up.
Holy fucking shit.
I turn my attention back to the spell and force myself to concentrate.
Using magic helps settle my emotions, even if it doesn’t unlock the book.
I move through the next few spells in quick succession, determined to avoid the embarrassment of crying over a kind gesture. It’s late, and I didn’t sleep much last night, and I’m anxious about my mate returning. That’s all. I’m emotional because I’m exhausted. Not because my Alpha feels like the caring parent I never had when I was growing up.
I had Roxy and Kelly, and that felt like enough at the time.
We cared about each other, and we looked out for one another.
I never really felt like we needed anyone else.
That was before I met Amanda and realized it was possible to have a family of my own.
I didn’t know that was something I even wanted until I felt our bond.
Now I know it’s something I’d fight for.
This is where I was always meant to be.
In this town, with this pack.
