Chapter 172

I smiled. “That’s very kind of you,” I told her. “But I’m okay for right now. Maybe later?”

She nodded. “Of course,” she replied.

Taylor looked at me thoughtfully.

“I have to leave now, but Gavin will be here later,” he said reassuringly. “Harper will take you to your room and help you get settled.”

I nodded in response.

“Thank you, Taylor,” I said.

I said to him, and he nodded. After a final goodbye, he left the mansion. I turned to Harper, who had a sweet smile on her face.

“It’s nice to have someone to serve,” she said with warmth.

Alpha Gavin is here sometimes, but not very often. It can get boring taking care of an empty house after a while.

“I’m sure,” I chuckled. “I’m glad to be here.”

“Let me…”

“Let me show you to your room,” she said with a sweet smile.

As we climbed the stairs, she began to tell me about all the amazing things the mansion had to offer. There was a library, a beautiful garden, an outdoor pool with a hot spring, and more.

Each bedroom had its own bathroom. I was used to having my own bathroom, so it was nice to have that again.

When we got to the second floor, we walked down the wide, bright corridor until we reached our destination.

She stepped into the room first, and I was amazed. It was much bigger than the room I had lived in my whole life. Not only that, but it also had all of my things. Even the bed was just like mine, complete with my comforter and sheets.

My pictures and awards were neatly arranged on dressers and shelves. My books were lined up on the bookshelf. As Taylor mentioned, my schoolwork and backpack were on the desk at the far side of the room.

I sat in front of the large window that looked out over the packland. Across the room, another big bay window offered a view of the gardens. In the distance, I could see the pool and the hot spring.

I had a vanity that held all my makeup and hair supplies. So, when I looked in the bathroom and saw that my toiletries were already arranged perfectly, I wasn’t surprised. The bathroom had a big shower and a separate whirlpool tub, which made it feel luxurious.

The bathroom was nice and spacious. It had a toilet and plenty of counter space.

“The closet has all your clothes,” Harper said as I walked out of the bathroom. The door to the walk-in closet was open, and I peeked my head in.

I walked into the room and saw it filled with all my clothes, plus a few new items I didn’t recognize.

“Some of these aren’t mine,” I told her.

She nodded and bit her lip.

Some of the clothes you brought to the Cash major looked purposely ruined,” she admitted.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. I knew it had to be Kelsey’s doing. I wasn’t sure when she had gone into my things, but it was clear she had.

My room was a mess, and my clothes were ruined. It must have happened recently because I hadn’t noticed it before.

“So, I went shopping and bought you a few new outfits. I hope you don’t mind. I couldn’t find the exact outfits I was looking for, but I think you’ll like what I got.”

“I’m sorry, I just improvised,” she said, glancing up at me.

“You didn’t have to do that,” I replied. “I would have been fine without them. Even so, I could have replaced them myself.”

She nodded, understanding my point.

Gavin wanted me to have some new clothes, and he even paid for them. “It’s not a big deal since it was his money,” she told me with a reassuring smile.

I sighed. I wasn’t sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but I knew I had to consider it.

I didn’t want to seem ungrateful, so I only thanked her once more.

“I hope everything is to your liking,” she said, looking around the room as we stepped out of the closet.

“It’s perfect, Harper.”

“Thank you,” I said to her.

She nodded, looking pleased with herself.

“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me. You can either come find me or call or text me on your phone. I took the liberty to…

“Put my number in your contacts,” she said, pointing to my phone charging on the nightstand. I felt relieved to see it there and smiled back at her gratefully.

“Unfortunately, we can’t mindlink because you aren’t officially part of…”

“I guess this pack will have to do for now,” I said, trying to sound confident.

Suddenly, a deep voice came from the doorway, making me freeze in place. “We could change that,” the voice said. “If you pledged yourself to me, that is.”
