Waking up with Finlay was a new experience. Yesterday he had woken up before me and I could feel him watching me as

draping over me. It was warm and snug and felt safe. I could feel Finlay waking up and I burrowed deeper into him. His

grip around me tightened and he pulled me closer.

“Morning,” he said. His voice was still heavy from sleep.

“Morning.” We shared a kiss and took a moment to wake up. We had a full schedule as it was the last day here. Me and

Finlay had the meeting with the council, then we would come back and help with packing. After lunch there was the

closing ceremony. The late afternoon and evening, we would spend making the final arrangements and saying goodbye

to friends and family from other packs. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact we were leaving tomorrow morning. Just a couple of days on the road and then we would be home. I sighed as I got dressed. I was homesick.

“What’s with the sigh?” Finlay asked and wrapped his arms around me from behind. He kissed my shoulder.

“I was just feeling happy that we will be home in a couple of days.”

“You won’t miss the excitement?” he wanted to know. I laughed.

“Not the least. I have had enough drama to last me for years. Give me back my boring life and I will be happy.” He

chuckled. We went down and had breakfast with the others. Matilda and Jake were in full planning mode and directed

the others on what tasks they had. We hadn’t spoken to Jake about our plan to make him Beta. We wanted to wait until we were back so we could talk to everyone at once.

“We are heading out, we shouldn’t be more than an hour,” Finlay said as we had eaten.

“I’ll walk with you. I need to stretch my legs,” Sam told us. Finlay walked on my one side, holding my hand. On the other

side, Sam was walking.

“So, is this part of your bodyguard duty?”I asked him. He looked disappointed.

“I thought you wouldn’t notice.” I smiled at him.
