Share Us
I had yet to thank him because the effect it would have had on Lake would have been unforgivable.
There was no way I could walk away now, not when this was waiting for us.
He hadn’t just created a digital world for us, he created a way for me and Lake to connect again.
“I’m going to try.”
ChapterTen
Shaye
“Hello, this is Landon Grant. Can I help you?”
“Hi, my name is Shaye King. My mate, Everett, gave me your number.”
“Shaye,” his voice softened a little bit as my name registered. “Look, I’m not going to start this call off as that person that says ‘I’m sorry.’ It sucks, and we both know it. But let me just tell you what this man has created for you.” A long whistle echoed through the line. “I’ve been waiting a long time to share this.”
“Sorry, it took so long to watch the video.”
“Nope, no apologies here. That just means we got extra time to work on the little details. What you guys are going to get is way better than what you would have gotten back then. In fact, the time will probably give you a chance to appreciate it more.”
“What exactly is it you’re giving me?”
He let out a laugh. “Oh no, Shaye, I can’t reveal anything. You need to appreciate it in all its glory. Hit me with your number, and I’ll send you a text. You can forward it to a group chat with anyone else who’s participating in this journey. Just promise me you’re not going to be alone.”
“Lake is with me, and so is his pack.”
“Our pack,” Lake muttered under his breath.
Thankfully, Landon wasn’t here with us, so nothing was awkward. But I shot him a look anyway.
“Thank you, Landon,” I said quickly before giving him my number. “Do you need anything else from me?”
“No, but I would really love your feedback once you get to the game portion of this. He told me that you have a whole journey before that, so just enjoy that and call me if you need anything, okay?”
“I will. Thank you.”
“I promise, the pleasure is mine,” he said with a chuckle before ending the call. Whatever Everett had cooked up with this man was something they both took very seriously. I could hear it in Landon’s excited tone and the refusal to share any details.
We all sat in an awkward silence until my phone pinged with the message.
“Wait, we don’t have a group chat,” Drew pointed out as he took my phone from me.
It took him all of a few seconds to have a group chat pulled up before he handed it back.
“There you go, sweets.”
He gave me a wink and I felt my face flame. I wasn’t used to anyone flirting with me, especially not when I was a hot mess. My body reacted instinctively and I had to fight the urge to lean closer.
I shook my head to clear it and hurriedly forwarded the text with the link to the group chat.
The app was named Locked Inn, and it had a little lock as the icon. It didn’t take long to download, and I fidgeted in my seat as I waited. I had no idea what to expect but the fact he went to these lengths for us was insane.
Then again, he was always that type of alpha. Protective, sweet, and would do anything for those he loved.
God, I missed him.
When the icon flashed that the app was ready, I tapped it and held my breath as it loaded.
