Spring had finally come to the pack land and Finley had decided to celebrate it with a BBQ at his house. Invited was the

top tier, Matilda and Cadence family. Jake had trained the pups and adults in hiding and evading for almost a year. He

had become close to both me and Sam and the pack had a new appreciation for him. He was an amazing strategist and

was good at handling the pups, making the training into playtime. Finley stood on his deck and manned the BBQ. I kept

him company as the others were setting the table inside and cooked the side dishes.

“You look happy,” he said.

“I am. I got an invitation from CeCe today. You remember her, right?”

“Sure. The woman who was there when we picked you up.”

“Right. So, Jessie, the man who was there to see me off,” I clarified for him. Finlay nodded but didn’t look happy. “He

proposed to CeCe, it was about time if you ask me, so they sent me a save the date for their wedding. June twenty fifth,”

I told him. I didn’t expect him to get all giddy like I had been when I red the invite. But I hadn’t expected him to look like

he had bitten into a lemon either. “What?”

“Nothing,” he said. I gave him a look and he sighed.

“The gathering of packs is the same week,” he reminded me.

“Crap. I had totally forgotten. It’s okay, I’ll just tell them I can’t make it.”

“No, you should go. they are your friends and a wedding is a big deal,” Finlay insisted.

“It is. But the pack comes first. You need someone to go with you and then someone needs to stay with the pack.”

“I don’t need someone to go with me. I’m a big Alpha, I can manage on my own. Beside, most Alphas take their Lunas as

the plus one. I will be fine,” he insisted. I hesitated. We didn’t talk about it but his brother would be there and from what I

could tell, the previous years hadn’t been easy when the two met.

“Why do you both look like thunderclouds? It’s spring, we are having a BBQ and we are supposed to be happy,” Martin

said as he came walking with a beer each for us.

“Thank you,” I said, taking one.
