“What uh, what do you mean Joal?” Joe asked hesitantly.Joal’s eyes didn’t leave me. I was standing a few steps back from Nov and her father, my hands in my pockets as I let them engage. I wasn’t sure what to say necessarily, but I knew that this would be one of those moments that defined a lot of what was to come. I felt a need to tell them my name, to show who I was. My wolf wanted to claim it, take it back and this entire pack with it the longer we stood in these walls. I wasn’t as far down the rabbit hole as he was, but I did know I was on the right trail.“Remington Calloway, nice to meet you,” I told him as I stepped forward and extended my hand to Joal. He didn’t hesitate to take it and shake it firmly. I saw a sort of questioning in his eyes, a test. Something I was sure I would face a lot here with the ones who knew my father and would wonder who I was compared to him. The other three elders sucked in breaths as I said my full name but I didn’t take my eyes off Joal.“He foun

I glanced up and took Nov’s hand as I started up the steps first. Nov was just as distracted as I Was since we got here. She was younger when we left but I could tell she was being triggered by memories the same way I was every time we rounded a corner.“The banister changed,” she breathed out almost too quiet to hear.I looked at it closer as her hand wrapped around it.“It used to be squared,” I smile as I remember the old stair case. The wood had changed, the banister, it must have had to be rebuilt after whatever fire caused the damage underneath.We got to the second floor and I saw there were 6 doors total. Three to the left and three to the right. Dean started talking, I heard the word Beta and Gamma understanding that half of this floor was the Beta family and half was the Gamma family.“Are they empty right now then?” Nov asked and Dean responded with yes. “The entire packhouse had been empty for awhile. They cleaned, maintained, but there wasn’t a way to put anyone else insi

{ Remi } Her eyes were glazed over still as she answered me and I knew that wherever she had gone in her mind she was still half there. I watched as she turned to follow her dad out the door, slowly releasing my hand and it fell to my side. I looked down to the tote and promised myself this wouldn’t be the last time I saw it as I slid it back into the closet and followed her out. I paused as they went down the stairs, breathing deep and pulling the scent of my home into my lungs, allowing the memories to bridge with the emotions. My fate was sealed and as I stood there looking over just this one floor in this one house on this pack land I felt a connection unlike anything I’d ever experience in Fire River form between myself and the land. If there was one thing I knew, it was that Alpha’s are connected to their land, not just there people. I’d seen it with Armi, he could feel our pack lands in a way no one else could. The smallest part of

“But-” Mina mutters out as she stares at me, unable to finish her sentence.“I do apologize for all the confusion, it wasn’t my intention to cause any disruption in your training. I did however want to meet you, and I would like a word with you and your mate if that’s ok.” I tell Ben and he nods immediately.“Of course, we can talk more over here,” Ben says as he leads us back towards benches along the outside of the training grounds. Leo turns and shouts orders at the rest of the warriors. I hesitate, wanting to go back and explain to all of them more. Talk to them more. Knowing I left them with more questions than answers. But Joe pushes me toward Joe.“They can wait, believe me. Establishing with Ben and Mina will pave the way to establishing with the rest.”I nod and follow the group to the benches, sitting next to Nov across from Ben and Mina, Joe and Leo and Dean on the longest bench.“Did you say this is your little girl?” Leo asks Joe and he nods proudly.“This is Novaleigh, m

The beginning of the talking I was quiet. I read everything and heard each word but I kept my mouth closed as I internalized it all. I had the most catching up to do but paperwork was something I could make sense of so I read every line in every folder. I kept my senses open as my eyes flashed to Andy and Cody whenever they weren’t speaking, their eyes speaking volumes more than their mouths.At the start I wouldn’t have trusted them as far as I could throw them. They were cynical, testy and argued nearly every point my mate brought forward. But he was patient, clearly expecting this. He reworded anything unclear and asked each of them clarifying questions whenever they raised a concern or argument. By the time we passed that first hour my suspicion had been replaced with hope.“You made the most decisions?” Remi directs at Andy and Cody. We had learned that during the time that everyone escaped from Fire River and came back, they had been the ones to return first. They helped everyon

I leaned in and pressed a slow kiss to his lips. He responded immediately, our wolves rearing their heads and pushing forward. Due to the emotions today, I hadn’t allowed other feelings to surface. Like the unbearable desire to be with my mate that was flooding each part of me.I closed the small gap between us and his hands roamed my sides down to my ass and back up onto my hips again as a groan leaves his throat. I reach down to run my hands over his chest and to the hem of his shirt to pull it off him. He picks me up and turns us in one motion, setting me atop the conference table and sliding some of the folders to the other end. His mouth leaves mine and he is peppering kisses on my neck as I pull his shirt up.The door opens without a knock or a warning. In the doorway is Ben wearing a look of confusion that quickly turns to shock as he curses under his breath and closes the door just as fast.“I probably should have locked that.” Remi muses as he gives me a kiss and pulls away f
