Colin’s POVColin was sitting in his office with Mateo. They were looking over the winter preparations. Usually, they get a lot of snow around January and February. They needed to ensure they had vehicles that could handle it and food supplies that could last through long winter storms.‘Colin, can you come downstairs?’ Adina mind linked him.He smiled. He loved that they could mind link with each other. It was proof that they now were of the same pack. He had gotten used to the feeling of belonging to two packs. Sean had taught him how long-distance mind linking worked. They had used Cernack as a guinea pig.‘We will be done in about twenty minutes,’ he linked back.‘Sorry, honey, but I need you to come down right now. We have a guest we can’t leave waiting,’ she told him.‘A guest? No one has been announced,’ he said.‘It’s Selene; she won’t be coming through the gates,’ Adina told him, and he could hear the amusement in her voice.Colin shot up from his chair, and Mateo gave him a

Sean’s POVSean and Adina had gotten their bags ready and were now standing just inside the apartment door. It was time to say goodbye to Colin and head to the airport. All three of them just stood there, not knowing what to do, reluctant to take the first step.Finally, it was Adina that stepped up to Colin and embraced him. He responded by pulling her closer and nuzzling her neck. Sean walked up to them and put a hand on Colin’s shoulder. Colin looked up, and they exchanged a look.Colin drew Sean into the embrace, so the two of them sandwiched Adina between them. Sean leaned his head on Adina’s other shoulder. They stood like that for almost five minutes before Sean took a step back and placed his hand on Adina’s back. She kissed Colin and then ran her fingers over his white lock of hair. A new habit of hers.“There are pillows with my and Sean’s scent on them, and don’t be too proud to rummage through our closets if you need it,” she told Colin.“Don’t worry about me, baby. I will

Sean’s POVIt felt strange for Sean to see all the happiness welcoming him home. He recognised some of them but far from all of them. The pack house looked the same on the outside, but they had renovated and updated things on the inside.Sean kept waiting for the moment when he would get a nostalgic feel or a sense of coming home. But it never came.His brother hadn’t been wrong about their mother gathering all the single she-wolves in the pack. Most of them kept their distance after finding out he was mated. But he could feel one or two of them still staring at him.“We have arranged for lunch for you,” his mother said as she showed them into the dining room, where a buffet had been set up.“Thank you, that is so kind of you. We appreciate it,” Adina smiled. She was in hardcore work mode, Sean realised. He also knew that after their car ride, she would not be up to food.“Please, dig in,” Liam told them.Sean let Adina walk before him, and he watched her trying to fill her plate to b

Adina’s POVAdina woke up snuggled into Sean. She was feeling much better today. She hoped there weren’t any long car rides in store for the day. Sean pulled her closer and kissed her.“What time is it?” he sleepily asked.“Just after five,” Adina smiled.“Five? Are you trying to kill me? Go back to sleep,” he told her.“We went to sleep too early yesterday. I’m not tired,” she said.“Then we will have to fix that,” he told her with a wicked smile.Two hours later, they were walking into the dining hall hand in hand. Adina was bracing for another day of keeping herself from killing all the single females in the pack.“Morning my…, Adina, Sean,” Liam greeted them.“Good morning, alpha Liam,” Adina smiled.“Please, just Liam,” he smiled back.Adina liked Liam. He was a good alpha. She had paid attention to their tour yesterday and saw that despite the recent attack and losing their former alpha. The pack was in good condition; the wolves respected their new alpha, and their pack bond wa

Adina’s POVComing home had been the right decision. Both Adina and Sean relaxed and, together with Colin, they settled back into their routine. Adina’s office had been renovated. They had decided that she and Sean would share one office.Colin and Adina had first offered to get Sean on his own. But he had insisted that was unnecessary. Adina was never alone, so when she would be in her office, he would be with her. When Adina or Adina and Sean were to work with Colin, they would be in Colin’s office.Adina had demanded that Sean pick out his own furniture for the office. She was slowly but surely making sure he stopped just accommodating her.Colin and Sean both insisted that she wasn’t allowed to see their new bedroom. Adina had thought about sneaking a peek. But she decided she would be a good mate and wait. They were all living in Sean’s old apartment at the moment.It wasn’t bad, but the bed was smaller than what they were used to. It had forced some interesting creative position
