Chapter Nine

By Wednesday morning the lodge was a study in insanity. The phone rang off the hook. Laurent and Phillip handled the business that Andreas had been putting off as he and Kari got to know each other. Sean had to go back to work but Ryan stayed to help with all the preparations.

Drew worked on the dress—a dress so top secret that Kari refused to let Andreas see it. Since it was December, they’d have the ceremony in a large heated tent in the meadow near the lake. Thank god Andreas had connections because an event of that size at such short notice would have been impossible otherwise. Kari was in her element though. She’d smoothly dealt with the details of the seating arrangements of no fewer than five Alpha pairs from neighboring clans.

Andreas stood in his office, looking out into the meadow and over the lake, smiling.

He’d come into so much happiness in the two weeks, it was hard to believe that he’d lived otherwise before. Kari was a force of nature, filling the lodge with an irrepressible joy and energy. They ran every night under the starry sky. She was so small and sprightly she was dwarfed by his, Phillip and Laurent’s wolves, yet she held her own.

“You know the brother had a friend at the FBI check you out,” Laurent said from behind him.

Andreas turned and went back to his computer. “Yes. I knew that. He worries about her. She lives all the way across the country. She’s young. He’s pretty much been a father and mother to her his whole life. I understand his reticence. And we had her investigated. I’d be a hypocrite to be angry now.”

“What are you going to tell him? About us?”

“She doesn’t want to say anything yet. I’ve offered to bring him over but she doesn’t know if she wants to ask him at all.. I have to respect that. Most of the Pack that have been changed have family members who don’t know.”

“But they won’t be staying here for four days either. We’ll have to be careful.”

“Of course. That goes without saying.”

“He’s a cop so he’ll be extra observant too. Andreas,” Laurent began, moving to close the door. He lowered his voice. “Does Kari know about your past with the females in the Pack?”

Andreas sighed. “No. I’ve been trying to find a way to tell her. It’s not like I’ll be sleeping with any of them now. I want no other female. Kari’s more than enough. All of that’s in the past.”

“But it’s part of Pack culture. It’ll come up sometime. I worry that if you don’t tell her it’ll get mentioned by someone and catch her by surprise. She’s woven a spell 130

around my heart, Andreas. Your little wolf is very dear to me. I’d hate to see her hurt.

She didn’t grow up this way.”

“What do you think I should tell her? Oh, by the way, pass the peas and did you know that over my life I’ve fucked every single female Pack member except for my mother and Anna?”

Laurent sighed.
