Dinner was nice. It was good to have everyone together as a family. Charlotte didn't throw her dinners as often as she used to, so it was good to have everyone under the one roof. I loved the chatter that filled the room. The laughter and the love of everyone here. Everyone was floating around chatting and drinking coffee.

"You didn't come for coffee". I frowned. "I invited you over and you didn't come. You didn't even respond to my text".

He shrugged. "It is what it is. How are you doing?".

"I'm good". I smiled. "Doing my first patrol, looking into going to college and I'm going to be taking more responsibility within the pack".

"Something like that".
