Chapter Six

A week later, Callan and Kate had spent as much time together as they could without keeping each other from getting their work done. Although Callan had to admit, he was way behind in getting updates from several areas, as well as getting things done that he’d been tasked to do. Even things he’d given himself to do.

That afternoon, Kate had been exhausted, and he teased her only a little for getting old and not having the stamina of a young person anymore when he kept her up each night having his wicked way with her. So he’d left her at the B and B and came back up the mountain to have a meeting with Carleigh and Conner.

Chris and Grayson were doing a final run through of some security items Gray had on one of his many lists that he was constantly checking and rechecking.

Heh. Next Christmas, Callan was going to make Grayson go as Santa Claus for the pups. Callan wondered how many of the pack would get that it all had to do with the lists.

Carleigh held up a thin stack of large papers. “Kate whipped up some quickie drawings for me to be able to use, not only for promotional materials, but as she called them, a temporary place holder. She said once she’s had time to do proper pieces, then members of the family could take the original ones and use them as toilet paper for all she cared.”

Callan was distracted by Carleigh mentioning Kate and quickie in the same sentence. He adjusted his position in his chair. “Toilet paper?” He rolled his eyes. “What is that woman thinking?”

Carleigh snickered. “No idea. I assured her that nothing she came up with could possibly be used as that. The more interesting thing to me, though, is that she still thinks all of us on this mountain are family. Not pack.” She leveled a glare at Callan. “She still doesn’t know, does she.”

It wasn’t a question. It was an accusation.

“I can’t go into the reasons. It’s her story to tell and it’s incredibly personal, but she’s scared of wolves.”

Connor asked, “How could she possibly be scared of wolves? It’s not like they’re hanging out on every street corner.”

Callan raised his eyebrow.

“Fine. Around here they are, but we’re different.”

Callan shook his head. “I told you, it’s her story to tell. The point is, I just haven’t figured out a way to spring ‘Hey, you know those creatures who scare you to death? Well, I am one’ on her yet. I know. Crazy.”

“Dayum. Sorry, big brother.” Carleigh walked around the table and hugged him.

Callan accepted her hug then shrugged. “I’ll figure something out. Meanwhile, I’d still love to know what JT is up to before we officially open.”

Connor smirked at their sister. “Hey, Car. Didn’t one of the brothers have a crush on you? Or was it their friend? Why don’t you offer—?”

Carleigh threw her notebook straight at Connor’s head. If he didn’t have the reflexes of a wolf, the spiral binding might’ve poked out his eye.
