Chapter 209

We lay in a tangle of limbs. Hands stroked my bare skin as energy still hummed around us. “I love you,” I said softly. “I never thought I could be as happy or [eel as safe as when I’m with you, all of us together.”

Anson nuzzled my neck. “I wasn’t sure how it was possible for us to work as a whole. But it does. It makes this weird sort of perfection.”

Caspian hit him with a pillow. “Who are you calling weird?”

tiver chuckled and kissed my hip. “We love you too.”

So damn much,” Knox echoed.

So damn much that I don’t even mind the rest of these assholes that much,” Vaughn piped in.

couldn’t hold in my laughter.

polite knock sounded in all of our minds. Mason’s voice filled the mental space. I know you’re probably resting, but Ivan and Cinna are here to see Senna.

ou have got to be kidding me, Anson griped.

he last thing I wanted to do was leave this bed, but they’d both fought by our sides. The least I could do was have a conversation. I’ll come down.

Give us thirty minutes, Knox added. He smiled at me. “They can wait while you shower.”

While we all shower,” Anson quipped.

and because of that, it was more like an hour before we made it to the lodge.

van gaveme a gentle smile as I lowered myself to the couch. He leaned forward in his seat. “How are you feeling?”

Good. Relieved.”

I’m sure.”

How are you? You weren’t hurt, were you?”

le shook his head. “You’ve got to be quick to mess with these old bones.”

inna rolled her eyes. “He’s old because he’s outlived all his enemies by killing them off.”

van chuckled. “Is that such a bad thing?”

I said it as a compliment,” Cinna argued.

stifled a laugh and lifted my gaze to Cinna’s. “Thank you for helping us.”

Ier lips pursed. “I don’t like being wrong.”

van snorted. “No kidding.”

she shot him a withering glare. “So it pains me to say that I was. I should’ve listened to you. I’m embarrassed at how I believed Gregor and Kaleb’s lies.”

When you realized the truth, you stood up for it. That’s what matters.”

inna and Ivan shared a look, then Ivan’s gaze circled the room, sweeping over the guys, me, and finally landing on Mason. “All charges against you have been *xpunged.”

Mason dipped his head. “Thank you.”

I’m sorry it was ever on your record in the first place,” Cinna said.

I’ve restored his Alpha status,” Knox added. “Does that mean his seat on the council is in place again as well?”

inna nodded. “It is.”

van cleared his throat, eyes shifting to me and then back to Mason. “We’re actually here to invite Mason and Senna to compete in the Quad trials. We would be onored to have you amongst our ranks.”

he room went completely still. I could feel the anxious protests from my mates. Those trials were brutal, and death was a regular occurrence.

fason leaned back in his chair. “I’m honored you would consider me, but I’m happy here. Leading my pack, spending time with my family. Politics isn’t omething I’m interested in.”

Which is exactly why we need you,” Ivan pushed.

le had a point there. It was the reluctant leaders that typically did the most for their people. Yet everything about this was wrong.

Haven’t you learned anything?” I asked.

While my voice was quiet, it echoed in the still space.
