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.
