LISSA

My legs stopped working six hawks ago. I’m not alone. My pack is scattered on the ground with piles of picture books and chocolate and chew toys and kitchen spices and finger paints and honey sticks strewn all around us.

I’m sure Whistler Pack thought they were sending small gifts that wouldn’t make us feel overwhelmed.

They clearly have no idea.

Shelley’s hugging the finger paints like she might never let them go, because she’s never had more than a few crayons to do art with the pups. Myrna has doled out enough wolf-safe chocolate that naptime likely won’t arrive until well after sunset, and Ebony hasn’t stopped reading picture books to Robbie for the last hour. If he has his way, that will be her new full-time occupation.

My heart aches over the few worn books he’s made do with for the first years of his life.

Presents came for the rest of us, too. Rio’s work laptop arrived, carefully padded for flight with twenty pounds of gummy bears, and several pouches disgorged a serious set of portable solar panels and other things I don’t recognize, although portable is maybe in the eye of the beholder. The hawks who landed with those all looked a bit winded. Danielle keeps sneaking closer to that pile. I hope someone figures out soon that if it has wires, she wants to play with it.

Then I realize this is a pack where we can maybe say things like that out loud.

I set down the laptop that came for me. Very carefully. It doesn’t connect to anything yet, because the sat internet setup is in the pile with the solar panels, but the note that came with it promised me numbers and pack-budgeting spreadsheets and den designs and access to ShifterNet, the kind that doesn’t have to be snuck once in a blue moon from the one far-flung clearing in our territory that occasionally picks up a cell signal. The note also told me, in very small, deeply indented words, that Adrianna Scott is extremely sorry for all we’ve been through and I better damn well accept this laptop and use it for the good of the pack.

Hayden sits down beside me and glances at the note. He winces, clearly recognizing his mother’s handwriting. “Do I need to be scared about what that says?”

I shake my head mutely.

He sighs. “They tried to go easy on us, honest. It’s mostly stuff for the pups.”

My wolf growls and astonishes us both.

He stares at me, his eyebrows somewhere up in his hairline.

“Don’t apologize for your mom.” When my words start flowing, I discover I have plenty of them. “The things she says about shifters have kept the submissives of this pack sane for the last six years, and yes, we’re a little overwhelmed right now, but we’re also stupidly grateful and we know she won’t demand anything in return for all of this except that we make our pack strong and good, because that’s who she is, and I assume that’s true of Jules and Eady and Scotty and whoever else sent these gifts.
