I escorted Sutton off the private plane at the Silverstreak airfield the day before the official opening of the conclave. It was customary to arrive early to exchange pleasantries and general updates as well as introduce possible topics to the hosting pack. In this instance, the attention would likely be on Sutton. She insisted that Motty come along with us and I felt it was a good idea. There may be times when having someone familiar would be a welcome distraction. These events could easily become tedious.

We were met on the tarmac by Beta Octin.

“Good afternoon, Alpha Lucas. Beta Jaden,” he greeted. He turned to Sutton. “This must be Luna Sutton and your assistant. Martha, I believe?”

“And you are Beta Octin, correct?” Sutton replied, extending a hand.

His eyebrows raised in surprise as he grinned. He took her hand with an amused chuckle.

“I guess there’s no need for formal introductions,” he said. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Luna. If you all would follow me, we have a vehicle rea

    Our lunch went longer than expected. When I finally made it back home, Lucas was out with Jack. Aunt Lara would be here in a couple of days but Lucas wanted to get Jack set up in some summer programs before she arrived. I still wasn’t sure how I felt about the situation. I didn’t want to force the kid to be around me if he didn’t want to, but it also didn’t sit right with me to keep him occupied he could feel I was purposely avoiding him.But we had some time to work all that out. Lucas still planned on having him stay in the packhouse for the whole summer. So we’d find a rhythm eventually. In the meantime, I had plenty to keep myself occupied.By that evening, I found myself hunched over my laptop and the long list of names, phone numbers, and addresses that Tarrah and the girls somehow managed to put together over a series of phone calls and messages this afternoon. I wanted to talk to Lucas before jumping into this any further, but I figured I could start making some notes.I was l

    Jack emerged from his room a little before Lucas returned. He didn’t really say anything to me but he did eat the breakfast I offered him. I took that as a win. Once Lucas got home, he went to shower and get dressed for the day while Lucas told me about his conversation with Hunter this morning. I had to admit it was a relief to know my sisters were safe at home and that they were being watched over.Narya and Lorelei arrived shortly after — Narya with a basket on her and Lorelei with a large canvas bag over her shoulder. Both with huge smiles on their faces.They were up to something.“Um… I guess you two have decided where we’re going to eat,” I stated curiously.“We have,” Narya said. “You ready?”“Lead the way,” I said, starting to feed off of their excitement.We made our way through the packhouse and I honestly had no idea where they were taking me. Not until they bypassed the parking deck and started down a walking path onto the grounds.“What are you guys up to?” I pressed.“W

    I called Aunt Lara first thing the next morning. She was surprised to know that Daisy and Jack had come to the city at all but she happily agreed to come and spend a few weeks getting Jack situated. The only concern was when she could make it out. She would need to work things out with Uncle Rodney and even then, it may be a week before she could manage it. We hung up with the promise of her getting back to me by the evening.It was the first days of the summer break, so Jack was still asleep. According to Aunt Lara, he likely wouldn’t emerge from his room until noon. That would give me time to get through a short workday. Jaden and Max have already offered to help keep him occupied if need be. There were also a few summer programs I would get him enrolled in.I was sending an email to a friend who ran one such program when my cell phone rang.“Danvers,” I answered without checking the number.“What the hell happened this weekend?” Hunter’s voice came through the line.“A lot,” I repl

    I hated that Sutton left, but I couldn’t blame her either. Jack’s reaction at the mention of her was not lost on either of us. It made me wonder if this was the right thing to do after all. Maybe I should just call my Aunt Lara and have her come and stay with him in their usual apartment.Jack’s phone began to buzz in his hand. He looked down at the screen but didn’t do anything.“I’m guessing that’s your mother.”“Yeah,” he said with a shrug, still not picking up the call.Something was up with him. This wasn’t the kid I knew. I wanted to know what had been going on between him and his mother, but I wasn’t sure I was the best person for such a delicate subject. I didn’t want him to hate his mother but I couldn’t imagine being able to control my opinions if even half of what I suspected was going on.The buzzing stopped but immediately started again.“Jack,” I pressed him, “do you want to go home?”“No,” he said, quicker than I expected.“Do you want to stay here?”He hesitated, but u

    Returning to the kitchen, Lucas took a seat on the barstool next to Jack. I hung back, leaning against the dining table so he didn’t feel crowded. I crossed my arms to keep from fidgeting with my hands and making him nervous.“Hey, Jack,” Lucas said. “It’s been a while since you’ve been to the city, huh? I bet you don’t even remember the last time.”Jack shrugged. “Not really, I guess.”“Well, I talked to your mom and…”“We’re going back home, aren’t we?” Jack interrupted. “It’s okay. I know you don’t want her around anymore. Grandpa could use my help on the farm anyway.”I saw Lucas’ jaw clench. Jack’s response bothered him but I felt his resolve solidify through our bond. This was something he needed to do.“I won’t tell you you’re wrong,” Lucas said. “ Your mother did something very unkind to someone very important to me. So, no, I’m not happy with her behavior. But that has nothing to do with you, buddy. Which is why I want you to stay here for a while.” Jack perked up when he hea

    I stood awkwardly at the kitchen counter as Jack fiddled with his soda can across from me. I’d tried asking him a few questions but he wasn’t talking. At least, he wasn’t talking to me. I could guess why. There was no telling what his mother had told him about me but I doubted any of it was good.“I’m sure Lucas will be excited to see you,” I said in another attempt at small talk.Nothing. He didn’t even look up. I chewed my lip, suppressing a sigh as I tried not to think of the many possible reasons why he was here. Finally, the elevator dinged and Lucas stepped out a second later. He gave me an apologetic look as he joined us in the kitchen.“Hey, bud,” he greeted Jack, ruffling his hair before pulling him into a side hug. “I’m glad to see you. I’ve got some news for you but do you mind if I borrow Aunt Sutton for a minute before I tell you just yet?”Jack shrugged. “Sure,” he finally spoke.Lucas looked at me again and tipped his head to join him. I rounded the corner and he took m
