Chapter 244

Cyra

Alpha Quirin is… Intense. There really isn’t another word for it.

“I understand more than anyone else here what it is like to be alone when you meet the Hills. I was an only child until Alpha Harold and Luna Farrah adopted me after the death of my parents when I was fifteen. Then, Henry became my brother. But as I’m sure you’ve noticed, we are nothing alike. The Hills are loud and boisterous, but they are loving and passionate when it comes to family. They’re a lot to take in at first, but they are definitely worth it,” he says.

His intensity doesn’t lessen, but it does shift when he looks at his mate and the scowly face he maintained while we talked breaks into a smile as she walks up.

“Alpha Cyra, you are joining us for lunch, aren’t you?” Luna Kennedy asks.

“Yes, I would love to. I’ve really missed Yorick,” I say, turning to look at my mate who is hugging his sister,

“And we have a lot to discuss. It might be a good idea to invite the Tech Team to join us as well, since they are helping to get information about your alliance bond, Alpha Cyra,” Alpha Quirin says. “Wouldn’t you agree, Connor?” he asks, looking over my head.

“I absolutely would, Quirin,” he says as I turn to look at him over my shoulder. I step back to include him in our mini–circle “You’re not alone anymore, Cyra. Yorick should have come to us the moment he realized you were in an alliance bond against your will, but I understand his need to make his own way in this world. Now, however, you have the full force of three packs behind you.”

I smell his bamboo scent a moment before his arms come around me. “Well, first, I had to get Cyra to agree to not reject me. Then I had to make sure that she couldn’t live without me. Now, it’s time to act,” he says, kissing the top of my head.

“I’ll go ask the Tech Team to join us for lunch. I think the time to start planning is now and I’d like to know what they have in mind that might keep us from going to war,” Alpha Quirin says, before walking over to talk to the group.

“Are you doing okay?” Yorick asks in my ear.

“Yes. It’s a lot, but it’s good. When are you coming back to the Academy?” I ask him.

“I thought I needed to go home to get my things, but Connor called one of the warriors and they are already packing up my car to bring to it to me.”

“Nice,” I tell him, excited that I won’t have to be away from him.

“Of course, if my clothes aren’t here by tonight, I may have to sleep in the nude,” he says, grinning at me.

“Oh you will be anyway, Alpha. Well, the nude part, not the sleeping part. You have a lot of making up to do.”

Yorick rides with me to the restaurant, but when we arrive, Luna Yara hooks her arm through mine. “I’d love it if you’d sit beside me during

lunch. I want to get to know you a little bit better,” she says.

“I’d like that too, Luna,” I say, thinking that the group may want or need my input on the direction they are planning since it is my fath Stellan that they are making plans against. So, I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to get to know her.

When we sit, I’m sandwiched between Luna Yara and Yorick.

“Where’s Tracker?” I ask when Hacker and Hijack join us.

“She’s taking a couple of days off,” Hijack says. I did notice that Raptor was in the court room today, so I’m guessing the two of them are
