Kinsey smiled at the little girl dancing in the sun and whispering nonsensical words to the sky overhead. The journal in Kinsey’s lap now contained a new list. Things to learn about young Wolf shifters.

It was evident Ellie would be an integral part of Drayce’s life. Whatever had happened to her real father, it was obviously a very raw wound for them all—one she’d have to traverse with care. As she looked out on the scene unfolding before her, the heart-stricken young girl Kinsey used to be giggled in frivolity. Even though her world had crumbled back then, it was still innocent and easy compared to the reality now unfolding.

Only a fool would’ve expected Drayce to have no baggage. Everyone had it. Kinsey had anticipated handling human versus Wolf shifter political shenanigans. Pack culture was a hotbed of drama at times according to what she’d seen with Lauren’s den. Sure, these were Wolves, not Jaguars, but they all had the same issues—living in the shadows to avoid discovery, reconciling the primal nature within them to the harsh reality of encroaching humanity.

She hadn’t anticipated this. He had a family. In modern terms it fit. There were many unconventional families these days. They’d make it work.

Drayce’s arms settled around her shoulders, and she leaned against him. “What you did back there? Huge.”

“I’ve been where she’s at.” She stood and turned, draping her arms around his waist.

“You’re an amazing woman. Stubborn as hell, but amazing.” He cupped her face. “Why are you here? I watched the woman I knew die back in the bar and didn’t think she’d ever look up at me like you are right now.”

“She had a moment of insanity where she forgot how obstinate you were. Then someone knocked her into clarity, and she realized something more was going on.”

“Jadrien.”

“He wouldn’t say what. He only said he wouldn’t take me home until I saw things through. His refusal to do as I asked was huge. He always has my back.”

“He’s a good man.”

“You two have a lot in common,” she whispered. “Want to tell me what’s really going down here?”

“I’m thinking you figured most of it out. My pack mate Robert was in the military, overseas, and got killed in action. Melanie was ostracized by her pack when she mated him. The benefits package she’d receive would help her make do on her own, but….”

“She’s Omega.”

“Yeah.” Drayce watched Ellie spin in a circle. “I promised I’d look out for them, make sure they remain pack and under our protection.”

“Why wouldn’t she be?”

“Bad blood ran between her pack and ours. Drew’s dad set ugly precedence in these sorts of situations. Under the old reign, she would’ve been tossed out unless she was mated to a pack member.”

Her heart seized. “You were pushing me away to make room for her, in case she needed you in order to stay.”

“Yeah.” He sighed. “It was a weak-as-shit move. Still gotta say, not sure how things are gonna play out. I can’t promise you anything, Kinsey, not with this unsettled.
