When | get there, | see that it is Rik, Liam and another Alpha I don’t know. Rik immediately stands up, gesturing
forto cin and sit down. “How is Grace? We didn’t mean to upset her.”
“She’s better. She's stronger than she knows, but that was a tough blow. What she didn’t tell you was that her
father marked his new mate on her 16th birthday.”
“I never liked that guy.” The older gentleman says.
“Eli, have you met my father, Alpha Anders?” Rik asks.
| stand again. “I don’t believe we've ever met sir. Eli Gunnar.”
“I know who you are, son. It’s nice to finally put a face to a name.” He says, shaking my hand.
“Bourbon?” Rik asks, holding up a bottle.
“Sure.”
Liam turns to me. “So, you said you had sthings you wanted to talk to us about. You have our undivided
attention.” He says, sipping his own glass of bourbon.

“Well, the first thing was about the mate gatherings, and | think we've all agreed that’s a good idea.” | say as Rik
handsthe glass of amber liquid. The color immediately remindsof Grace's eyes when Maia is shining in
them.
“Ill talk to Angel. With Cara being mostly on bedrest and your pack needing sclean up, we can host the first
couple of get-togethers.”
“Thank you. And that bringsto my second issue. As I'm sure you both saw, my pack is in quite a state of
disrepair. Everyone is pitching in, but it will take tand money. | need to get a job to start bringing in money
for the pack. | was hoping that you might have sideas for me.” | tell them, swallowing my pride.
| watch Rik and Liam look at each other again. It’s almost as if they are having a private conversation between
them.
“Actually, Rik and | were talking about that after we left your pack the other day. Did you know that | own a
business? Holstin Enterprises, Inc?” Liam asks me.
“Uh, no. | didn’t know you owned your own company. What do you do?”
“Funny you should ask. My company has two arms. One is in security and the other is in construction.”

“Construction?” Liam could be my supplier, or at least would have knowledge that | don’t have about where to
get construction materials.
“And we have a proposition for you.” Rik says.
| take a sip of the bourbon, which is delicious. “What kind of proposition?”
“Liam and | would like to loan your pack the money to rebuild.”
“And, if you and your pack are willing, | can hire you through my company and pay you and whoever chooses to
work for me. We can cup with plan, but | can take a percentage of the salaries to pay back the loan, while
still ensuring that you and your pack members have an incwhile you rebuild your pack.”
| don’t know what to say. This is so exceptionally generous and it's a perfect. solution to how we can get the
packhouse and homes rebuilt quickly and efficiently.
“Why would you do this for me?” | ask. It seems too good to be true.
Liam snorts, but it’s Rik that answers. “We're family now. Family helps family.”
I look at Liam and he just shrugs. “I told you, Rik has very specific ideas about family. And | did warn you that it
would be weird.”

“Yes! Yes, thank you! | don’t know how many of my pack members will
participate...” | begin.
“Doesn't matter, however many there are, we'll figure it out.”
“Now that that’s settled, was there anything else?” Rik asks.
“Yes, one more thing. | need to know how to make my pack official.”
“I believe | can help you with that.” Alpha Anders says. “It's simply a matter of completing the application,
getting the backing of three Alphas, and submitting it to the werewolf elders for approval. I'm guessing the three
Alphas in this room will back you and since I'm on the council, | can help push it through quickly. But you will
need a nfor your pack. Have you given it any consideration?”
“I have, but I'd like to run it by Grace first.” | say.
“We can get started on the rest of the application and put in the nwhen you decide.” Anders says, moving
to Rik’s desk and motioningover to begin completing the application that will make our pack official.
