Danny left the tavern thinking to go back to the castle and tell the clan that he had found the woman who he wanted to be his mate. As he passed the tree where they had kissed he stopped. He could still smell her scent mingling on the breeze. She had smelled happy.<br/><br/>Danny was happy too, but he was also a bit scared. He knew how the others in the clan were and as much as he wanted to fight it he knew that eventually he would become like them. if they didn't just kill him for being weak.<br/><br/>Running over the bark of the tree he sighed. He didn't want to be in the castle. He wanted to be here with Mina. He wondered if his fellow wolves felt this way about their mates. He was certain they did, but they sure had an odd way of showing their affection.<br/><br/>Spinning on his heels he returned to the tavern and walked up to the bar. "I need a drink, and keep em coming." he slapped 5 silver onto the bar and then turned looking for an empty seat.
