After a short pause, he added, “They reckon I acted too rashly and that you got the short end of the stick. They’ve told me to make amends properly. As for Moon-Shadowed Pack…” His eyes met mine, assessing. “I figure we ought to make the official announcement on a grander occasion. Considering how complex your ties with the pack are, we need a moment to set the record straight for you.
“Next up will be a proper public bash… and this time, it’ll be top-notch.”
Knowing he’d got everything sorted and thought so thoroughly about me, I finally let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, as if timed perfectly, Fiona’s call rang through.
“Natalie, dear.” Fiona’s voice was laced with hesitant delight and a bit of remorse. “That stubborn grandson of mine is so headstrong! He just whisked you off to get bonded without a shred of preparation. I hope you’re not miffed, darling?”

“No need. Let’s go home,” I mumbled, curling my fingers slightly.
