The blinds were closed in Krista’s hospital room, but when she awoke, she could still see the bright sunshine filtering through the slats. Krista breathed a sigh of relief as she lay in her bed. The splitting headache she had since her encounter with Justin was gone. Her wolf, Lola, had healed her just as she had promised. A light tap at the door made Krista turn to see the doctor enter her room with a smile. He went to the computer in the corner and began typing while Krista waited patiently. “It’s good to see you awake, alert, and seemingly no longer in pain. How are you feeling this morning?” the doctor asked as he typed. “I feel good,” Krista answered with a smile. “My head isn’t hurting. I’m no longer dizzy, and I am starving.” “Well, those are all good signs,” the doctor beamed as he stopped typing and moved to examine Krista. He checked the wound on her head and nodded approvingly at the state of it. “Your wolf does good work. I put a few stitches in to hold it while she d

“Mate?!” Andrea and Robin both exclaimed at the surprise revelation. Andrea looked around the room. No one else seemed surprised. The expressions worn by the others contained hints of worry, excitement, and joy, but not a trace of surprise. Her head snapped around to look at Nyla, whose lips were quirked into a hopeful smile. Andrea gasped and said, “You knew! You knew Denny and Krista were mates, and you didn’t say anything. You are my best friend. How could you not tell me about something this big?" “We did not tell anyone because it is for Denny and Krista to tell. Harry told me so I could help him tell Mimi. We hoped it would help her stay calmer about the situation, which she did. If it weren’t for that, the only people who would have known would have been Denny, Krista, and Harry. Denny knew as soon as he stepped inside Mimi’s, and he called Harry outside to tell him so he understood why he might be acting a little odd. I promise, I was going to tell you as soon as we got th

The phone rang only once before Alpha Andrew answered in a surprisingly chipper tone. “Good morning, Alpha Harrison! How are you this fine morning?” Alpha Andrew asked. “I’m doing well, all things considered,” Harris said. “Did you have any problems with Justin during the transport back to Blue Mountain?” “Not a one,” Alpha Andrew chuckled. “Your brother knocked him out, and that was pretty much the way he stayed for the bulk of the trip. He also left a nifty little thing tied to the miscreant’s wrist that kept his wolf subdued. It looked like a piece of twine, but it did the trick. Do you think Alpha Hayden would be willing to share where he got it? It would be extremely beneficial when we have to make an arrest or hold someone for a different pack.” “He might be persuaded,” Harrison chuckled. “Then again, Hayden likes to keep some things secret so he can protect his resources and those who assist him with his work.” “I can understand and respect that,” Andrew said. “How are he a

Hayden thought about his morning as he walked back to the hospital to pick up Krista. After the shock of seeing the inside of the house Harrison had agreed to let him use, he had expected opposition over what colors to paint the house. The pack house was full of light colors, which made him wonder if Nyla and Harrison were trying to make up for the severity of the structure. When Hayden chose a deep mossy green for much of the house, his brother and sister-in-law readily agreed and said it would be lovely. It made him wonder if they had something else up their sleeves. He had just reached the lawn surrounding the hospital when his phone rang. Hayden sighed, pulled it out, and looked at the screen. The caller ID showed a private number, which almost always meant it was an Alpha, who was more than a little embarrassed, calling him to retrieve a family member. Hayden thought briefly about rejecting the call but decided it was probably best to answer. It might be a genuine emergency, as

The conversation at Mimi’s was light and filled with laughter. Hayden tried to take part as much as he could, but he needed to go over what Alpha Leo had sent him about Luna Esme. In several of the pictures, Luna Esme was dancing with someone. If it was not Alpha Leo, it was one of her friends or even a child she held in her arms. Her smile was radiant in each photograph. Hayden felt himself growing annoyed with the Alpha for not taking his beloved dancing more often. As he continued looking through what he had been sent, he understood why Luna Esme looked so happy. She was a trained dancer. She began studying ballet early in life, and as she got older, she branched into contemporary. She even took up partner dancing, enjoying ballroom and swing dancing from time to time when she could find the right partner. Alpha Leo danced with her, but he was no match for her talent. In the email with many of the pictures, he even lamented that no matter how many classes he took, he could never m
