Chương 160: Brand New and Shiny

Ashleigh took Caleb back to the room that had been arranged for him. They had chatted about this and that, but nothing of consequence. They were both keenly aware of the potential for eyes and ears everywhere.

Once they were behind closed doors, Ashleigh broke the charade.

“Five months?” she asked.

Caleb smiled and nodded.

“I don’t remember having that conversation….” Ashleigh said, crossing her arms as though she were upset with him.

“Well, I figured since you put a time limit on me for when you would be introduced to my pack, I should put a time limit on you… Since I know, you won’t marry me until you feel assured that my pack accepts you.”

“And you think it will take five months?” she asked with hopefulness.

“I have no clue,” Caleb replied honestly. “It could take five months, five years, I really don’t know.”

Ashleigh was clearly disappointed by his answer.

Caleb wheeled over to her. He reached up and took her hand.
