Chapter 21

Phil knew as soon as he was shown into the house that something had changed. It took him a few minutes to figure out what it was. There was laughter. Not just from one or two, but the whole house seemed to be in on a great joke. When he entered the kitchen, a place he knew that they spent most of their time, he stood watching them for a minute.

Sis was sitting on Gordon’s lap. She looked so comfortable there he wondered if she was beginning to trust him more. She had a slice of apple in her hand and Phil watched as Gordon sliced another off the large, red apple in his own hand. Smiling, she took the offered piece as she popped the last one in her mouth.

Tim was sitting next to them. He was grinning, a big grin that showed that in the past week he’d managed to lose one of his front teeth. He too was enjoying an apple, only his was already on his plate sliced up. He leaned to his brother Jake and whispered in his ear. The other child laughed and stole a slice off his brother’s plate.

Jake didn’t say much when Phil had first come around. He seemed a great kid, but he knew from CJ that he possessed a very high IQ and had been tested recently. The results weren’t back yet, but Phil was willing to bet that the kid was nearing genius status. Phil had found the kid reading encyclopedias on more than one occasion. He couldn’t wait to tell Gordon he’d told him so.

Darcy was staring at him when he looked at her. Her smile was soft and reached her eyes. She’d changed the most. Everything about her showed her good health and well being. Phil had heard from Connor, Gordon’s twin, that she’d talked more about the night her mother was killed. She had opened up to him, he said, because he’d let her see that a wolf could shift and not hurt. Phil thought she was a little in love with the wolf and hoped that Connor took a care where she was concerned.

“You should come in and join us.” Phil looked over at Alexis when she spoke. “We have plenty of fruit to go around and there is homemade ice cream for later if you’d like to stay.”

“I picked the berries all by myself,” Tim chimed in. “Well, Jake and Darcy helped a little, but I did the…what did you call it, Gordon?”

“Toting. You did the toting. A real man totes his bounty home while the others gather. It’s a good wolf who can provide for his family.” Phil laughed when Alexis hit him. “Okay, it’s a good wolf who can let his mate provide for him.”

“Have a seat, Phil. I’ll get you a plate so you can have something too.” Alexis started to stand when Gordon beat her to it. The look between them made him look deeper into the woman and he was surprised by what he found.
