“Do you think that those goons are ever going to come after us?” I ask Chase who’s lounging on the floor of the living room.

“I’ve been putting some feelers out and there’s no word going around about what happened. Not even a whisper. My guess is they decided the money lost wasn’t worth the blow to their reputation. Not that I’d suggest any of us step foot in that town ever again.” He responds.

A low chuckle comes from Dustin. “That’s a bummer, I made a lot of money in that town.”

“You almost died in that town.” Chase says with a roll of his eyes.

“Almost being the key word,” Dustin wriggles his eyebrows.

A laugh escapes my lips and my heart flutters. I could have never expected to be this happy. Even if there are moments where I feel like I am back in that apartment with Jax.

“This house needs some work,” Isaiah says entering the room with a PVC pipe in his hand. “I had to shut off the water, can I get a hand?”

“Where’s Ash?” Chase asks.

“He’s mopping up the carnage that happened when the pipe fell off.”

Chase gives me an exasperated glance; his eyes are a brighter green now than they were in the forest. My stomach flutters as I remember that night we spent together in the tent.

Our bodies pressed together garnering warmth. The sound of Chase’s heart beating as I lay my head on his chest as he stroked my hair. I felt so safe and close to Chase that night. I felt a deep trust and affection for him. And the feel of his body next to mine gave me a lust and yearning that I haven’t felt in years. I wasn’t quit ready yet to admit my desire for him but I’m feeling different now that we have a home and a pack we can call our own. Some stability and certainty.

“Come on Alpha, help your brothers out.” Isaiah teases.

“Go on,” I say meeting Chase’s eye. “Dustin and I will be fine to finish up painting this room without you.”

“Alright,” He says standing up and brushing his hands on his paint splattered jeans.

“A beautiful woman and a bucket of paint, what more can a man ask for?” Dustin says and Chase shoots him a dirty look.

“Right, right, sorry,” Dustin lowers his head in a show of submission to his new Alpha.

The new pack is an oddity from what I’ve been gleaning. While inter-shifter packs are not necessarily new it seems that there’s always a hierarchy where one form of shifter or another is more of a second-class citizen than the wolves.

A human being in the pack, however, does seem to be more of a new and rare occurrence. Do I truly belong here?

Even with the crumbling paint and burst pipes this home we’ve bought has brought me a sense of safety I have only felt when I am right beside Chase.

I shake my head, trying not to think about it too much. I’ve got to be useful where I can.
