“Damn! If you missed me this much, I should visit more often!” Jackie chuckled, returning the hug as tight as she could. My first best friend, she was looking amazing as ever. Now sporting braids instead of her usual two- puff style, I hopped off her body and smirked.

“Then these types of hugs won’t happen as often as you like.”

She pursed her bottom lip. “You wouldn’t stop, would you?”

“Don’t try that pouting shit on me.” I giggled, hugging her again. “I’ll miss you, regardless. I have so much to tell you.” I pointed my head at the fallen wolf who is dusting off his ego. “What happened here?”

“Idiot had this misconstrued idea that humans shouldn’t be training to be warriors.” The Beta rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Talking shit is one thing, trying to talk shit about my little butterfly is another thing.”

“I appreciate you stepping in to defend my honor, my love.” Abigail walked over and planted a soft kiss on Jackie’s cheek, instantly relaxing her. She, too, sported bright blue leggings with a white tee, harboring sweat spots on the back. “But there was no need to toss him into the air like that.”

Jackie growled low, wrapping her muscular arm around her mate’s waist, pulling her closer. “He had it coming. I cannot sit by and watch others insult you under my presence. You deserve the highest honor as my Beta Female.”

“But did you have to throw him so high?”

“I could go higher.”

I snorted, taking a step away from the scene as soon as Jackie began snacking on Abigail’s lips. They were so cute! But I agree with Abi, if we need our warriors in their best, Jackie needed to stop hurdling them in the air.

I’m sure you could only do that with babies, but at least you catch them right after.

Speaking of babies….

“Ti!” A tiny voice called out to me as I got closer to the house with my luggage. The other three went ahead without me. A noticeably short pup with curly brown hair, tanned skin, and big golden eyes wearing a pink onesie slowly crawled down one step at a time before waddling fast to where I was.

‘Ximey!” Kneeling, I give my tiny niece a big hug, lifting her in my arms. “You’re cute as a button, my darling.

Where’s your Mommy?”

“House!” Ximena pointed her short, chubby finger to the entrance. The moment I walked in, I was hugged tightly from the side, the smell of raspberries and sugar invading my nose.

“You’re back!” Alesia smiled widely at me. “It’s wonderful to see you, Kiya. How was your trip?”

“It was all right.” I walked with my Luna deeper into the foyer. “It was long, but Galen made it much better.”
