“Relax, Finlay told me and put his arms around me. I sighed and leaned against him. “Better. If this is stressing you out this much, we can always cancel the call. I can call your mother,” he said as he gently rubbed my back. I smiled at how casually he talked about calling my mother. A couple of months ago, I hadn’t spoken to her years, and now he talked about calling her like he had done it all his life. I loved it.

“No. It’s okay, I’m nervous, but I want to do it,” 1 told him. “You will be there so it will be fine.”

“And I will put an end to it if it gets out of control,” he reassured me I nodded. It was just after dinner and almost time for the call with my aunts and uncles, and mom and dad. We had decided to take the call from our home and we had asked the pack to give us a couple of hours for an important call. Our closest people knew what he call was about and I had received a lot of support and advice from all of them.

“Did you ever meet uncle Mark?” I asked as we settled down on the couch.

“Yes, briefly. He was still Alpha when I went to my first Alpha meeting, but there was so much going on with my old pack and me settling in as Alpha, I didn’t talk to him,” Finlay told me. I nodded,

was understandable It had been years before the two of us had met, the Eagle Forest pack would have held no special meaning to him. I took out my phone. Finlay placed his hand on my cheek and made me look at him. “I love you,” he said and kissed me,

“I love you, too.” I gave him a kiss back and then took a deep breath and answered the incoming call.

“Hello,” I said as I saw the screen. I had expected three pictures with each mated pair in one of them. Instead, they all sat at my parents‘ kitchen table and my dad was walking back from where they had set up the phone.

“Hi, Armeria,” my mom said.

“Oh look at you, Amie. You are the spitting image of your mother,” Joy said, she had tears in her eyes. As did Sally. Mark had an expression I couldn’t read. I didn’t know if he was upset or angry, or a mix between the two.

“This is Finlay, my mate,” I told them.

“Hello,” Finlay said. They all greeted him and there was a pause,

“I have so many things I want to know, but I don’t know what to ask first,” Joy said and smiled.

“Let’s start with what my parents have told you,” I suggested. It turned out, my parents had been tight lipped. I did the last ten years. No details. Sometimes Finlay jumped in when he thought I skipped important parts or didn’t put enough emphasis on things. It helped me relax, as he made it feel like our usual banter.

“You spent four years with humans, green bean?” uncle Jonas asked. He looked a little pale at the thought.

“I did. They were really kind. Well, most of them. There is always a bad apple or two,” I told him.

“We appreciate you getting her out of that place, Alpha Finlay,” uncle Mark said with a serious face.
