I spent some time celebrating Kier’s and Arianna’s mate bond with the pack, a celebration that continued even after they went upstairs. The pack is excited and happy. It’s such a different feeling, something I’m so unused to that I feel a bit lost without Kennedy here to help me navigate through it.

“I need to head home tomorrow, Alpha Quirin. Now that I know my sister is safe, I need to return to my pack. But I’m only a phone call away if you ever need me or the pack. I’d also like you to know that you have an open invitation to my pack. Not only are you my sister’s mate, but now we’re allies. You’re welcome any time,” Connor says.

“Are you going to come visit me too, Q? Maybe for more than a day?” Henry asks.

“Yeah, yeah, we’ll come see you, too. I need to deal with Slater and Kennedy needs to heal. And I also need to figure out how to clean my pack lands. It was a problem before, but now that Kennedy’s is pregnant, I have no intention of letting anything put my pup at risk.”

“Did you get the information that I sent you on that?” Alpha Warren asks.

“I did. You’re right, it’s expensive, which isn’t the biggest issue. It’s the time it will take to clear the lands. It looks like it will work, but I just need to find time and men to do it,” I tell him.
