Chapter 147: An Early Goodbye Sophie

I'm so excited to see my friends. I honestly don't remember a time that I had friendships like I have now. Maybe it's because I was an Alpha female and there was always a power differential in our pack. Now that I'm a Luna, I have friends who are also Lunas. Not all of them, Kinsley is also a good friend, and Penny was a friend before she even got here, but my friendships now are so much stronger than they were when I was younger.

My friends are set to arrive tomorrow and while I'm making plans to spend the day with them, the day after that, Zahn and Jocelyn arrive. I need to make sure I'm ready for that as well.

I look up as someone knocks on my door.

"Hey, can I come in?" Kinsley asks.

"Of course," I say, setting aside my work. She and Lucas had their appointment with Dr. Felicity yesterday and they both happily showed us the pictures of their son. Much like our son, they are naming theirs after Lucas. Lucian and Hunt will be nearly the same age. It will be good for them to grow up together. Now that Lucas is going to compete to win a pack, they will be both be Alphas and strong alliances in the next generation will be important.

"I wanted to um..." Kinsley begins, looking down at her hands, sighing. "I know that Lucas spoke to Alpha Hunter, but I wanted to know what you think about Lucas competing for his own

pack," she says, finally looking up at me.

I'm not sure if she's asking because she thinks it's a bad idea, or if she's worried that my feelings are hurt.

I walk around my desk and come to sit beside her. “I think you and Lucas would make an amazing Alpha and Luna. I think some of these packs will have a difficult beginning, but I think both of you are strong enough to get past that, especially now that the two of you seem to be in sync and working together."

She nods, looking down and I wait her out. "Are you angry that he's considering it?" she asks quietly.

I reach out and cover her hands with mine. "Will I be sad when he claims his pack? Yes. And I say when, not if, because I know he's strong enough to do it. But I would never be angry that you are giving yourselves and your pups the possibility of a better life, better position in the pack. There's no one who could even begin to fill your shoes, but I would never be so selfish to put my wants ahead of yours."
