Chapter 294

Hunter puts down the food and he and I are excitedly shown around the newly dug up garden area. I have a pup holding each hand and Hunter swings an older girl onto his back, picking up a younger boy and holding him on his hip, while still managing to hold the hand of yet another pup. I realize that he and I could easily have five pups and still manage them easily in their younger years.

He growls softly in my head. ‘Six. I’m sure I can manage to carry one more.’

I smile as I let the pups lead me around the area, ohhing and ahhing over the work they’ve put in. When we’ve seen everything and told them how incredible they are and not to let Alphas Robin and Kayce steal them away from us for being such good helpers, we head back to where Allison has set out the picnic for all of us.

Nikki has a pre-teen pup in her arms, fast asleep. She continues rocking him as we walk up.

“You have a special touch, Luna Nikki. Jared hasn’t slept this well since….well, since I lost my mate,” his mother says.

“Sometimes, they just need a different parent and that’s what Alphas and Lunas are really, parents to the pack,” she says. I can hear Bree, Nikki’s wolf, purring softly to the pup, keeping

him in his deep sleep.

Robin comes over and runs his fingers over the top of the pup’s head before leaning down to kiss the top of Nikki’s. The rest of us sit, the pups either pressing tightly against us or sitting in our laps while we eat.

I smile at Hunter, realizing that we should probably plan to do this more often with Kinsley and Lucas and now Penny and Jaime as well. It will be good for the pups to have some normalcy and Kinsley and I were already planning to do something, but this feels right. It feels good.

“How is Luna Jocelyn?” Sandy asks, just as I get Dr. Caspian’s next update. This time, he sounds much more tired than he did before.

‘Luna Sophie, Luna Jocelyn’s thigh bone has been reset along with her knee. I’m moving down to her shin bone and foot next.’

‘Thank you, Dr. Caspian. Are you sure you’re okay to continue? You sound exhausted.’

“Yes. I am tired, but her bones are setting nicely. I want to continue because I think very soon, she’ll be nearly or completely pain free in this leg.’

‘Thank you, doctor,’ I say and close the mind link.

I relay the message to the group around us, then link the warriors in the hospital.

Is everything still okay there?’ I ask.

‘He’s getting more restless, Luna. We’ve let Alpha know and he’ s going to stop by after you finish your picnic.’

I can feel how pleased the warrior is that we’re spending time with the pups here and I realize that he is the brother of one of the women in this group.

Rather than rushing back to the packhouse, we all settle in, Robin and Kayce telling the pups stories as the younger ones fall asleep and the older ones sit quietly, listening. Hunter excuses himself to go check on Zahn, but I stay, enjoying the peace and calm that I feel here in the Survivor Center.

It’s a great afternoon, and I’m so glad that I get to spend this time with my friends and that they are the special people that they are. They recognized that these pack members, even though they aren’t their pack members, needed some time and comfort. And my friends, being the wonderful people that they are, offered it to them without question.

I can feel Sophie’s happiness and I’m thankful that her afternoon is restful. I know that last couple of days, weeks, hell, basically since I found her and marked her in private it’s been non-stop stress. Now that she’s carrying my pup, I feel extra protective of her.

I excuse myself from our friends and the pups at the Survivor’s
