She also kept her distance from their large forms as their training went on to how they could fight a Vampire faster in their wolf forms. So, she took the backseat and just listened from alar, doing her best to be better at the thing she could only do.

Vivienne smiled at her, that charming and gentle unile she’s always had around people. No one has ever not liked Vivienne, even before when they were in school. She was the most popular, the prettiest and she was the prom queen.

Inhaling deeply, she took it. Just so she could get over with it.
Vivienne’s smule became wider, making her entire face luight.
“Great. So how have you bern, Lauren! I ser you’ve been doing really well here in Rocky Mountains. But you haven’t met your wolf yet!”
She just nodded and looked at the dumny again. Lauren honestly felt like she didn’t want to accept whatever she was offering her, friendship or whatever, last she also don’t want to be rude.

“Then you should come visit our puck! I bet Harry would love to see you well, including your children.”
Lauren’s attention snapped back to her when she heard what she just said.
“Oh, sorry,” Vivienne smiled apologetically. “I know it’s still a secret in your pack, but in flack Ridges, everybody knows that Alpha Declan was here to retrieve her children. Alpha Emeritus, Harry, specifically commanded him to get back with you and get him his grandchildren, and then he will turn over everything to Dedan”
