“When are we heading to Alaric’s pack to let the contenders see what the pack looks like?” Allison asks.
“Alpha Amelia has asked if we can wait to do that until she delivers her pup. I understand she’s pretty close, so perhaps Alpha Jake and Luna Letti can stop at Hunter’s pack and then continue on to Alaric’s,”
Dutton says.
I look at Sophie to see how she feels about that. “That would be a good excuse for me to meet my niece,” she says excitedly.
“Yes, it would and will probably be close to the last time that you leave the pack until you have our pup. You’re already getting pretty big, Soph.”
“I can help with the competition again. Plus, Amelia will need someone to hold Athena while she refs the competitions,” she says.
“Ohh, that’s right! We’ll have two more Alphas to referee the matches. Things should go faster next time,” Kayce says.
”
“Well, when word gets around, we may have more competing too, Robin adds.
“Honestly, I think it’s good for the packs to get to know each other and have these friendly competitions. Maybe once we have the community area built, we can add in quarterly or annual competitions to keep the packs motivated to train hard, to maintain cohesiveness between our

packs, and to have bragging rights,” I say, already loving the idea of having regular competitions.”
“What community area?” Letti asks.
“Oh, we’ll add you to the group, Letti. The Lunas are in charge of putting the ideas together for a community area. If we’d had more time, we’d have done it while we were here, but it was busier than I expected,” Nikki says.
“Busier than any of us expected. I’ll set up a call. I’d love to get started on the community area. I can send you what we’ve talked about already, Letti, but we’re looking at using the mountain that is in the center of all of our packs, well, except for Ezra’s, as the community area for our families to have a place to go and our wolves have a safe place to run.”
“The mountain where you kept food for the she-wolves on the run? I LOVE that idea,” Letti says excitedly.
“Trust me, now that you’ll be spending more time with Sophie, you’ll never have a dull moment in your life again,” Nikki says, teasing my
mate.
“As if you’d ever allow your life to become dull, Nikki. I’m pretty sure your mate hasn’t had a dull moment since he met you,” Sophie teases
her back.
“Not one, and I wouldn’t change it for a thing,” Robin says, pulling his mate to him and kissing her scowl away.
We finally say goodbye and Nikki helps Sophie onto my back again

before needing to help Allison this time as well. Then we take off running towards home. I’m excited to return to our pack, ready to make sure that everyone is really okay, and ready to face Zahn and tell him he’s going to trial.
When Shaw howls our return, Hedda joins in the howl, and the pack welcomes us home. Pack members rush up to us in wolf form and I can feel their excitement to proudly tell us everything that they did to protect the pack while we were gone.
Sophie reaches out to touch the wolves as they corral around me while we walk to the packhouse, trying to help calm the excitement that is nearly overwhelming. Almost the entire pack is yipping and howling with the thrill of defeating Zahn’s pack. When we get to the packhouse, Shaw stops, growling to let everyone know they need to step back so Sophie can get off of his back.
The group quiets a bit, as Sophie slides off Shaw’s back and I pull the shift, while most of the pack members shifting around me.
“Welcome home, Alpha, Welcome home, Luna,” Lucas says from the back of the packhouse.
The pack echoes his welcome and then they all start telling ine about the attack, their part in it, and how everyone worked together to defeat Zahn’s warriors. I’m feeling protective of Sophie with so many pack members crowding us and wanting our attention, but she pushes her calm into me and into the pack, letting her pride and love flow through the pack bond

their willingness to fight even without me here. It’s probably close to an hour before we’re finally able to get inside the packhouse doors.
“Soph, why don’t you check in with Kinsley and Jocelyn. I’m going to go see Zahn,” I tell her.
