Chapter 21

Wyatt

“I’m glad you all could make it tonight on such short notice,” the alpha said from the patio overlooking the rest of the pack. “I have two important announcements and then you’ll all be invited in for some of Ms. Elsie’s delicious cooking before we get ready for the full moon.”

He scanned the crowd until he spotted a man with a long scraggly beard and a potbelly. “We even made extra deviled eggs for you, Jimmy.”

Jimmy rubbed his belly before holding up a thumb, which earned him a round of chuckles from the pack.

Abraham’s smile slowly faded as he looked around the wolves below him. “Now, this first bit of news might be a little shocking, but I trust this pack. I know each and every one of you and that’s why I’m so comfortable sharing this with you. I know you’ll react with respect and dignity because that’s who we are as a pack.”

He turned to me and Wes, who’d been standing behind him this whole time. The rest of the McCoy siblings were spread around the patio as well, save for Callie, who was inside the lodge with Mom. At the alpha’s signal, the sliding glass door opened and they both walked out to join us. Abraham took my mom’s hand and pulled her to stand next to him.

“This is Nora Carter. She’s Wyatt and Wes’ mom and she’s been living here with them. What may surprise you, is Nora’s human. We typically wouldn’t allow a human to live on pack lands but seeing how she’s raised two wolves of her own, I think she’s earned a place with us.”

He was quiet for a moment as he looked around again. I was doing the same, eyeing every single pack member for any signs of agitation or hostility. When I found none, I breathed the first real breath I’d taken in a while.

“I expect every single one of you to welcome Nora into our pack the same way you’ve welcomed her sons. She belongs here. She’s a part of us. And I won’t allow her to be treated in any other way. Are we all clear?”

Every wolf in the clearing nodded, their eyes darting from Abraham to Mom and back again.

“Does anyone have an issue with living alongside Nora?” he asked, an edge to his tone.

The people down below glanced at the wolves standing next to them before looking back up at Abraham and shaking their heads.

“Does anyone have anything they’d like to say?”

The gathering was quiet for a long minute before someone cleared their throat and said, “Yeah, welcome to the chaos.” The other wolves laughed as my shoulders slumped and my lungs deflated.

A small nudge in my ribs caught my attention and I turned to find Callie smiling up at me, looking so pretty in that instant, I had to fist my hands to stop from touching her.

“See? I told you it would be fine. Your mom’s safe here.”

She had a wild lock of hair curling away from her face, and before I could stop myself, I reached out and tucked it behind her ear.
