(Astrid POV)
"Who else did you think Kael was?"
"Your boyfriend or some wolf you had a crush on. I don't know. I did not really think about it."
I shook my head. I think most wolves would have easily figured out the relationship between Kael and me during the phone call — the one where Kael got upset about the dress I was wearing. The fact that Charlotte did not put it together highlights the disservice her parents did to her by living a more unorthodox lifestyle in the human world.
"So what happened between you and Kael?" Charlotte pressed.
"It is a very long story. We formally rejected each other, but we are friends now, and—"
"You are not just friends with him, Astrid," Charlotte interrupted, clearly not believing me. "Even I know that much."
I rolled my eyes. "We are mostly just friends right now. Still working that out. Who knows what the future might hold."
"Is that why you came to Ravenswood?"
"Kind of. Not really. It is complicated."
