“Well, that was unexpected,” Yorick says.

“Serves that asshole Stellan right!” Wendy says as we watch Landon walking away with Lila.

“He’ll be good for her,” Piper says quietly to me.

“Yes, he will,” I agree.

“Who wants to get some lunch?” Luna Yara asks.

Since none of us need to be back at the Academy today, we all agree to go to lunch. However, my uncle and cousin decide to go back to their pack.

“We’ll be back on Thursday for Arden’s trial,” Uncle Ramin says.

“Thank you for being here today. It means a lot to me,” I tell them.

“I’m glad we could be here,” Uncle Ramin says. He hugs me. Unlike Warren’s hugs, I can tell he’s unused to physical displays ofaffection. Arman’s hug is a

bit warmer, but still not as warm as the hugs I get from the Hill family.

We say goodbye to them and head to the same café we went to the last time we were here. Hacker and Hijack join us again, much to the excitement of Wendy and Yana, who begins peppering them with questions while we walk.

I’m surprised that Hijack tolerates her exuberance. Maybe it’s because she’s asking him questions about how they followed my mother’s money trail and got the recording that sealed Stellan’s guilt. I notice that Hacker doesn’t make any outward movements toward Wendy, but his hand continues to brush against hers and every once in a while as we walk, their fingers lock together for just a moment.

“So, what’s the deal with Henry?” Connor asks Quirin.

“Yeah, why isn’t Henry here?” Wendy asks.

“He went to his mother’s pack, searching for his mate,” Quirin says, but the look he gives Connor says there’s more to it than that.

“Bad idea,” Connor says softly.

‘I’m confused. Why is that a bad idea?‘ I ask Yorick in the mind link.

‘He’s looking for a chosen mate. He’s coming up on his thirty–third birthday and he’s starting to feel the need to take a mate and have pups,‘ he says.

‘But what if she’s younger than him? Quirin and Kennedy have quite an age gap. She’s young enough to have given him a lot of pups,‘ I say.

‘Yes, which is what Quirin keeps trying to remind Henry of. I get the impression that Henry thought that Kennedy would be his mate. I thought he was waiting to see if Wendy was his mate, but now it seems he’s lost patience with waiting.’

“He did offer to come today and for your father’s trial, but I told him we were good,” Warren says.

“You should have told him to come. He’s not that fucking old,” Quirin growls.

Even I remember that. You never wanted a mate, you just
