The Pack's Hacker (by Cooper) novel Chapter 267

Cyra

After breakfast, I notice a couple of my more daring pack members come over to introduce themselves to Quirin and Kennedy. Kennedy draws them in quickly, the pack latching on to the love and kindness that she exudes.

Surprisingly, after the initial nervousness of meeting Quirin, our pack members seem to relax around him. He oozes confidence which makes a pack feel safe and since he’s not being aggressive in any way, more pack members start coming over, at least to say hi.

“We’re going to go warm up and wait for Alpha Quirin to come show us some new moves,” Zach says, practically bouncing on his feet. “Plus, I need to come up with a good code name for him. Slasher, maybe,” he says, making all of us roll our eyes.

“I’m pretty sure I’ve made my own name sufficient to put the fear of the Moon Goddess into anyone who thinks of crossing me,” Quirin says as we head to the office.

“Well, yeah, there’s that. Hmmm, maybe we need to find someone who gets the codename Quirin,” he says to the others as we walk away, making Quirin chuckle.

When we’re in the office, I have us sit around the table.

“Warren and I haven’t had a chance to go through our pack’s finances yet, Alpha. But I would definitely be interested in your proposal. Once I have a better understanding of our finances, I’ll be able to review your suggestion and let you know if it’s possible,” I tell him.

“It’s possible. I’ve made sure it is,” he says, pulling some paperwork out of his back pocket.

“First, congratulations. This is our gift to you as the incoming Alphas of this pack. It’s not done yet, but it should be by the end of today or tomorrow,” he says, sliding a piece of paper over to us.

I lean forward to read as Kennedy smiles up at her mate. He wraps an arm around her and kisses the top of her head as he watches us.

“This is the intent to purchase the land between our pack and your new one,” I say, looking up at him.

“That’s correct. That is our gift to you, mine and Kennedy’s,” he says, his body jerking slightly and his features softening. I would guess that his mate just sent a wave of love to him through the bond.

“This is too much, Quirin. You’ve already done so much for us,” Yorick says, echoing my own thoughts.

“The twenty million was a loan, this is a gift,” he says.

“I don’t even know if we can pay you back for the twenty million, Quirin. I have no idea what my father’s finances look like. I don’t know if we can accept this,” I say.

“It’s a gift, and I’m not taking it back. As for the other part, don’t argue with me until I’m done explaining my proposal,” he says, gently but firmly.

I look at Yorick. I can feel his same resistance to accepting such a generous gift when we’re already so indebted to Quirin. “What’s your proposal?” Yorick asks.

He holds up a finger. “Before we get to that, I’d like to take care of that pesky alliance business. As if our families wouldn’t be allied, but for the sake of other pack’s knowing, I’d like to make it official. I’ve also brought a second copy with Connor’s information so you can sign one with him before he returns home. You’ll have to make time to meet up with Henry to sign one with him,” he says.

I quickly walk to the desk and grab a couple of pens. “This I don’t have to think about,” I say, moving to the last page of the two copies of the agreement and signing it quickly. Quirin and Kennedy have already signed them.

I slide it to Yorick, and he quickly signs both documents. We return one of them to Quirin, who folds it and puts it in his pocket before looking at us.

“In the future, you should read all documents before you sign them,” he says, turning the copy in front of us to the second page and pointing to the spot that says that we accept our gift of the land between our packs.

My mouth drops open and I look back up at him. He’s smirking and he shrugs negligently. “It was Kennedy’s idea. She knew you’d argue,” he says, pulling his mate into a hug again.

“I see Quirin is rubbing off on you, Ken,” Yorick grumbles to her.

“This is an important time for you, for both of you. It’s a big deal. I know you never planned to lead a pack, Yorrie, but this gives you all sort of options. Mom’s going to be here, primarily, for a year. If you wanted to build a new teaching hospital here, under her direction, you could and then that could help fund your pack. None of the rest of us had to start from scratch like the two of you are. Well, Quirin did, but even he had his father’s investments to help him out. It’s very possible that your father has nearly bankrupted this pack and if that’s the case, you’ll need options for income. My brilliant mate has some great ideas, but this is too important for either of you to let your pride get in the way,” she says, looking from Yorick to me.

“Okay, maybe we should talk about your proposal,” I say.

“Good, because this is exciting,” he says. His grin is so wide it’s practically splitting his face.

“And in no way was this my idea. Like you, Yorrie, I hate the financial stuff,” Kennedy says.

“And you? Do you hate it too?” Quirin asks me.

“I love it, I just don’t understand it all yet,” I say.
