After yesterday’s performance in the third game, I was in a good mood. I wasn’t looking forward to dinner with Finlay’s

family. But if I was going to choose him as my mate, I would have to get used to his family as well. And more important,

Finlay wanted me there for support. It was the only reason I put effort into getting ready. I used one of the dresses Medow had made me pack. It was midnight blue with a modest top with short sleeves, an empire waist and a flowing

skirt. I felt ridiculously nervous as I joined Finlay and Matilda.

“That is a very nice dress. Don’t you think so, Finlay?” Matilda said as we walked toward the communal building.

“It is,” he agreed.

“Thank you,” I said.

“Lighten up! The two of you look like we are going to our own execution. Amie, I need your help in keeping our Alpha

from harming his dear brother. His mother and I are trying to mend bridges, not get anyone disqualified from the games

for maiming a competitor,” Matilda said.

“I will do my best,” I promised. Finlay snorted.

“You’re not too old to be put in time out, young man,” his aunt told him.

“Yes, aunt Matilda. I will try to behave,” he said. I giggled. We walked into the booked room, it looked like a private room

at a restaurant. A small, round table was set for five and Finlay’s mother and brother stood waiting for us. His mother had

put the food she had cooked on the table and after greeting everyone, I helped Matilda put down the dishes she had

made. We sat down and started helping ourselves to food. All in silence.

“It was nice that you could join us,” Finlay’s mother said to me. She looked unsure, as if she doubted it was nice.

“Thank you for letting me come,” I said and did my best to give her a relaxed smile.

“Of course you should come, you are practically family,” Matilda said in her usual cheerful voice.

“And why is that?” Alpha Ryan asked.

“I kind of adopted her from day one,” Matilda said with a laugh. I smiled at her. She was going strong today.

“Both Matilda and Finlay made me feel welcome in the pack,” I agreed.

“That’s nice,” Finlay’s mother said. “Have you been moving around, visiting the different packs between games?” she

asked Finlay.

“I have been keeping up with our allies,” he said.

“Shouldn’t you get out more? Meet new wolves? An opportunity like this only comes every ten years,” his mother told

him. She sounded sincerely worried.

“Mother, it’s not like I’m shutting myself away. I have duties as Alpha to take care of the pack as well,” he replied. “I’m

sure you understand how it is, Ryan,” he added. His brother shrugged.
