Chapter Seven

The rhythmic thunk, thunk, thunk of an industrial stapler competed with shouted conversations, hammering, and the buzz of a grinder as Sander stopped the group of teens at the perimeter of the construction site. Work had progressed at a remarkable rate as more and more of the pack donated their time to the project. After the dark days of winter, everyone was keen to play their part in bringing the new hall to fruition.

The building was framed and watertight with first-fix utilities well under way. A cherry picker was secured behind barriers on the west side of the building as a team worked to fit solar panels to the roof. Sander pointed out the key risks to the six teens as they waited for permission from Stefan to enter the building.

A schedule had been agreed with Adrie. Sander would work with them two afternoons a week, and the site visit was their first field trip. Each of the kids had been assigned a support role for the dance preparations depending on aptitude and interest. Keeley, a petite blonde, was busy making notes on a pad as she strolled the perimeter of the visitor area. Her looks and size belied the fierce nature of her wolf, and she’d been thrilled when he asked for her input on the security preparations.

One of the boys, Adam, had shown an interest in the catering, and Sander had played the family card, getting him a part-time job at the restaurant. It was mostly bussing tables and washing up, but the boy seemed happy to earn a few bucks and had positively glowed when he’d told Sander about Will consulting him on the menu for the party. The other three, two boys and a girl, had been happy with assignment to the decorating team, and Rory was expected any time to join the tour of the hall.

He had a special project in mind for Daniel. Although he still hadn’t contributed much to the discussions, he’d stayed behind the previous week to request the family photographs for the portrait. They’d agreed on a price of two hundred dollars. Well, Sander had offered, and the boy had stammered before gratefully accepting.

Sweet fruit and vanilla drifted on the breeze, and he spun like a compass toward his true north as Rory approached the small gathering. Her blonde curls were their usual tangle, and her well-worn jeans had a patch at the knee. A stripe of dirt decorated one cheek. She looked perfect to him. His wolf grumbled when she hung back at the edge of the group, and Sander concurred. Uncaring of the stares from the teens, he swooped down on her, smothering her protests in a kiss that left them both panting when they finally broke apart. Color bloomed on her cheeks as she scowled at him, but she pressed into his side when he curled his arm around her waist.

“Now I understand why your bed hasn’t been slept in lately.” His brother’s dry voice elicited another round of giggles from the group.
