Cyra

When we arrived back at the packhouse, Warren was waiting for us. He wasn’t the only one. Yana stood or one side of her father with flade and Yvonne standing on the other. It felt like the Hill family showed up to prove a point. ‘She doesn’t need you, she has us

I feel warmth spread through my chest at their silent pronouncement of love and acceptance of me. They’re right. I don’t need anyone else

when I have them.

Warren comes down the steps, he nods at Arman, but his gaze remains fixed on Ramin. He’s making a point that no one hurts his family and

Ramin hurt me.

“I’m Alpha Warren Hill, Cyra’s father–in–law.”

Not Yorick’s father. MY father–in–law.

“Alpha Warren, I’m Alpha Ramin,” my uncle says.

“Yes. So I gathered.”

There’s a tense moment of silence as Warren continues to stare my uncle down in some sort of Alpha display of aggression.

“Alpha Warren, I am Alpha Arman, Alpha Cyra’s cousin. As we mentioned to Alpha Cyra, my father and I are here to make amends and to speak to Alpha Cyra.”

“Apparently one of you has some good sense, then,” Warren says. It’s an obvious insult to Alpha Ramin and a threat. He won’t tolerate him hurting me again.

My uncle growls at the threat, but Warren just continues to stare him down. Arman, however, gives his father a warning growl of his own, quieting my uncle.

“My father was wrong in how he treated my cousin. As I mentioned to Alpha Cyra, my father and hers have a lot of bad blood. But we are here to make amends.”

Finally, Warren looks at Arman. “Cyra is my family, and I take family very seriously. You would be wise to tread lightly.”

“Understood.”
