The journey going back to Cordon took a few days, and Lena was extremely enjoying every bit of it because of Seth's company. He pampered her very much, and she could feel how determined he was to win her heart. Also, she couldn't deny the fact that she was growing attached to him, not to mention how she was being greatly affected by his presence.
She could only wonder when it started, still, she didn't want to come up with a conclusion in a rush. She wanted to be fair to him. After all, the man deserved a genuine answer from her, not just her giving him some sympathy knowing that she was his mate.
Eventually, they arrived at Cordon, and Lena stayed in the castle with the Queen while Seth was called by his brother Calypso to go back to his post at the Midnight Pack. Either way, Lena wouldn't need someone to guard her side after all.
