Her men left early the next morning and were replaced by an excited group of omegas. Laura, Lisa, and Gabrielle had come to help Karli prepare for her bonding ceremony. While it was true her pack was her extended family, and Rowl and Joseph her immediate family, Karli had no one to stand up with her. True, her parents had chosen their path, but it still hurt to know she had only ever been a bargaining chip to them. One that was now disposable.

“Hey,” Laura called out as she sat in the chair beside Karli on the back deck. “I can feel your sorrow from all the way inside the house. Are you okay?”

“You’ll think I’m crazy.” Hell, she thought she was. How could she miss something she never really had? Sure, they fed and clothed her, but that was always with the thought that it would pay off in the end. There was never any real love shared between them.

“You miss your old family,” Laura guessed.

“It’s odd, even after everything they’ve done. What’s wrong with me?”

“There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s not crazy to wish for something you’ve dreamed of, even if it’s your parents’ love.”

Karli thought about it for a moment. Perhaps Laura was right. Karli wasn’t necessarily missing Atilia and Ferone, but what they should have represented—the unconditional love of one’s parents. But she had that love. It was given to her every day by her mates. She truly had what she’d always dreamed of.

“Thank you, my friend. I am fortunate to have so many people who care about my wellbeing and love me. It’s time to think of what I have and not what I haven’t.”

Laura smiled wide and held out her hand as she stood. “There’s been a delivery for you while you’ve been outside, and you need to eat lunch to keep your energy high.”

“Yes, mother.” Karli smiled wide, took her friend’s hand, and followed Laura into the house.

Gabrielle and Lisa were busy making lunch in the kitchen as Laura led her to the living room, where she found Helena and a large box. Karli was so happy to see the princess. They’d grown close during the time Karli had lived in the main house. With the events of the past few weeks, Karli hadn’t been able to spend time with her friend.

“Helena, I’m glad you stopped by. I’ve missed you.” She plunked down on the couch beside Helena and hugged her.

“We’ve missed you as well, and I come bearing gifts.” Helena laughed before nudging the box in front of her on the coffee table. It was a white box, three feet long and two feet wide with a beautiful red and gold bow wrapped around it.

“You didn’t have to do this.”

“Oh yes we did.”

“We?”

“Yes, the women of this pack,” Helena explained. “We all came together to make this for you. Open it.”

Karli pulled the box until it was in front of her then yanked on the silk ribbon before removing the lid, and lifted the tissue paper.
