242 Grace: Unbalanced
He’s shown me loyalty.
Eventually…
And apparently, I’m starting to become a little desensitized myself.
[GRACE HARPER: Are you watching me?]
Well. One day it wasn’t like that anymore. I just can’t really pinpoint the time it changed.
My fingers tap against the display as I frown at Andrew’s profile, barely registering him pulling into a parking space. He doesn’t even look my way.
…
apparently Caeriel, Andrew, and Caine all go to the same school of terse answers.
Then he pauses, sympathy fading from his face as his lips quirk into a grin. “Well, maybe not you. Rogue wolves are still shifters.”
He’s helped me out several times.
But first, I need to find Jebediah Wulfric’s grave.
History lesson aside, the first alpha is buried in this very cemetery. It’s clear Caeriel’s giving me a hint on what to look for.
“What?”
There was a time he would say, “Well, if you don’t want to order anything, we don’t have to eat there.”
Andrew hesitates, frowning at me for a long time. It’s not the I’m–mad–at–you kind, but like he’s thinking things through. Maybe he, too, is remembering the times we were there together, and how I rarely ordered anything for myself.
I stare at the message with a frown. He’s not being weird or cryptic; I recognize the name, of course. It’s the first alpha of the Blue Mountain Pack, the one who brought his people here and fought and bled for his new territory. I might not remember the packs here before the Blue Mountain Pack, but I definitely remember the name Jebediah Wulfric, the first alpha to claim the territory.
Andrew rests both hands on the wheel, staring out the windshield. “Peaceful? I
suppose. We’re in a time of unprecedented peace in the area, something we haven’t seen since the First Alpha’s age. At least, that’s what they say.”
Every time, I would insist he eat, because he was tired and worked hard.
[GRACE HARPER: How?]
“Nothing.” Tap, tap, tippity tap.
It’s equally clear he’s watching my every move from somewhere.
[CAERIEL: With my eyes.]
Or there’s some sort of creepy GPS–slash–surveillance going on with the App, which is… mm, not particularly reassuring.
After about twenty feet or so, I pause and glance behind me, somehow unsurprised to see Andrew hasn’t left the car. He’s watching me, though, and waves through the window.
Locked memories are banging on the door, insisting on coming out to play, but I have no interest in entertaining them. They already came out without warning the other day, and I have no interest in another visit.

The readers' comments on the novel: Grace of a Wolf (by Lenaleia)
I really like the story and the characters of this book. I hope it's completed or will be soon, not dragging over and over....
What kind of trouble? What was the trigger for Brax's anger?...
Caine is her mate and he adores her, she shouldn't fear him like that and above all shouldn't show the kids that she's afraid 😮💨...
Not convinced this lie is a good idea. Too many variables that could make the plan go wrong: Andrew's loyalty? He knows Grace and Caine are mate. The kids? You're teaching the kids to hide or lie on something......
It's so funny how quickly Caine adopted the kids 😊...
The big Lycan king with a baby in his arms....Jack-Eye will so much laugh at the sight 🤣🤭...
Because me being always the rational person I am, who overthink everything always wonder: do you have that many clothes to afford ripping them off each time? Making them dirty with fluids? Certainly you won't go around like that!?...
She's slowly managing to control the energy flow 🥳 but how slowing it has a worse effect on him?...
On the other end, he should tell Grace why he is preventing the kids, especially Bun, to have contacts with her....
Cain's suddenly so funny I his daddy mood. He definitely must not leave again and stay with "the family" to keep his mood stable! 😊...
