CHAPTER 13
Theo
I caught the first puddle jumper out of Albany I could find. Brynna was on my mind the entire time. Home. I told her I was going home. The truth was, I hadnât had a traditional home since I was sixteen years old and opened the door to my father standing in front of me, holding my motherâs lifeless, ruined body in his arms.
But I still had a house I rented from Sebastian Lanier, leader of the largest pack in Wild Lake. It had a nice view, perched on a cliff overlooking Lake Michigan near South Haven. It was too big for me. Six bedrooms. Four thousand square feet. In addition to the house rental, Lanier had given me a job after the war ended. Iâd helped him reacquire the assets the fae had seized from the wolves of Wild Lake. Slowly, over the last five years, Iâd helped Lanier and the other Wild Lake Alphas rebuild their company, Wild Lake Outfitters. Theyâd paid me well for it.
I made two calls when I got back to South Haven. First, I called Vince, my assistant. I only had about sixteen messages from him â two for every day since I left for Albany. He answered on the first ring.
âYouâre a real asshole,â Vince said in lieu of hello.
âRelax,â I said. âItâs people like you who make me a better asshole. I had every confidence you could keep things running smoothly while I was gone.â
Vince sighed on the other end of the phone. âSend me flowers and tickets to whateverâs next at the Kennedy Center and Iâll forgive you.â
âTheyâre already on their way,â I said, making a mental note to send them. âTwo of them. Front row center. You and Kevin will be able to see Bocelliâs nose hairs. Promise.â
âItâs a start.â I could tell by the tone of his voice that Vince was smiling. One fire more or less put out.
âYou canât leave for that long ... or you canât not answer your phone for this long ever again. You know how crazy everyone gets ... itâs a mess. Youâre needed at about ten real estate closings, Theo. Youâve got unsigned paperwork in your inbox. Will you get to it, please?â
I laughed and felt like a dick all over again. I knew exactly what Vince had been putting up with.
âAnd Iâm sure you handled everything like butter, Vince. You can do it again when you need to.â
âWhich better not be for a loooong time, Theo,â he sighed. âI need my own fucking vacation. I hear Fijiâs nice this time of year.â
âFijiâs nice every time of the year,â I said. âWeâll talk when itâs time for your Christmas bonus. What do you have lined up for me today?â
âRelax,â Vince said. âIâve kept your schedule light. Youâve got a conference call with Bas at four oâclock. Heâs anxious to close on the property near Manistee. Thereâs some sentimental value with it. He pretty much told me this has to go through or heâs gonna serve me to the Wild Ridge bear clans.
