“That’s right. And you will have an aunt and uncle too and a grandma once you meet my sister, her mate and my mother.”
“And they’ll like us?” Emma asked. She was tired of the pity stares they received from the pack.
“They’ll love you.”
Emma shivered with anticipation of having a family, not just a daddy and mommy but a whole family. It was like a dream. She glanced at her brother but his response was less favorable. He was suspicious of anything that sounded too good to be true. Though he had misgivings about the male in front of him he also didn’t want to be left behind. As long as Miss Phoebe was there he knew they would be taken care of even if others changed their minds.
‘..Okay,” Blake finally agreed.
“Good,” Jason smiled. “You two go with Bridget and Noah.
They’ll take care of you until we get home.”
“We can’t go with Miss Phoebe?” Emma asked.
“Phoebe’s still sleeping,” Jason explained. “But as soon as she wakes up shell want to see both of you.”
The pups nodded and looked to the waiting Bridget. She, at least, was a familiar face and they knew she was good friends with Phoebe. With some confidence they followed Bridget to one of the waiting vehicles where Noah helped all three buckle-up for the drive.
Jason stood watching the movers secure the truck and receive directions from Luke. Everything was finally ready.
Leaving the arrangements to Luke Jason returned to Phoebe. She still seemed to be resting comfortably but he worried she would catch a chill. Without a word Chaz handed him a blanket from the vehicles emergency kit.
With a nod of gratitude Jason buckled Phoebe in before tucking the blanket around her careful to avoid disturbing her injured leg.
He leaned forward kissing her temple. Soon they would be home and she would safe. She would never suffer like this again. Quietly closing the door Jason paused as his skin prickled with the knowledge of being watched. Turning he scanned the tree line before he keen eyes finally settled on a lone figure: Graham. He could feel the other alpha’s indignation and envy.
Lobo growled wanting nothing more than to tear apart the one who caused their mate so much pain.
‘Let him look,’ Jason said. ‘Let him see exactly what he lost …and we gained.”
“Yes! Mate is ours!”
Smirking at his would-be rival Jason circled the SUV and climbed in beside Phoebe. He would love nothing more than to hold her the entire trip but it was safer this way.
Jason settled with holding her hand..for now. Chaz and Luke joined him sitting in the front seats. The moving truck slowly pulled away and they followed
The trio of SUVs lined up randomly as they trailed the larger truck and would shift positions as they continued their journey north making it more difficult to know who was in which vehicle. They paused as Rimrock’s border to allow Bridget and the pups to renounce their pack bonds.
The pups cried at the severing of the bond but Bridget was there to comfort them and they soon settled especially after stopping at a McDonald’s drive thru.
Jason worried about Phoebe and her pack bond but Lobo informed him it was already done. Perhaps her rejection had started the process allowing it to break on its own or perhaps her wolf was aware enough to sever it itself. In either case he was happy her last bonds with her former pack were gone. He would do everything he could to ensure she didn’t regret it. A new pack waited for her, eager for their Luna.
Once on the road he dialed his mother. She answered on the second ring, “Jason? How is everything? When should we expect you?”
Jason chuckled, “Everything is fine. Were on our way home now. We probably won’t be there until tomorrow, late. I have a moving truck filled with everything from her house. It’ll have to be stored until she can sort it.”
“I’ll have them clear out storehouse E. That should give her plenty of room sort it out. But sweetie, you sound stressed.”
“…There was a rogue attack. Phoebe was hurt.”
“Is she all right?”
“It’s a long story but yeah. She’ll be okay. She’s asleep now or else I’d let you talk to her.”
“Let her rest. We have plenty of time to talk once she gets here.”
“Maybe less than you think.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? Now Jason the pack needs to bond with their Luna so don’t think you can hog her all to yourself.”
“I know. It’s not that.”
“Then what?”
“We got three new pack members besides Phoebe. Noah found his mate so she’s with us and…well, Phoebe adopted two pups from her pack, orphans, so they are also with us.”
“Well of course they are. You certainly couldn’t leave them behind. What are their names? How old?”
“Blake and Emma. I think Blake can’t be too much more than six or seven. Emma is a year or so younger.”
“I’ll have the housekeepers prep their rooms. This is so exciting! And Noah found his mate too? Then this trip was well worth it.”
“Yeah, I’d say so. It’ll be late when we get back so official introductions will have to wait.”
“Of course. Take care of your Luna. We’ll see you soon.”
Jason set down the phone. He raised Phoebe’s hand to his lips kissing it as he gazed on her serene face, “Everyone can’t wait to meet you, Phoebe. And they are going to love you.”
Jason dosed on and off during the long drive, waking only when they paused to stretch their legs and change drivers.
They were stopped briefly at the Canadian border but were quickly waved through when the agents realized they were wolves. Human boundaries meant little to werewolves.
They were globally recognized as their own nation so most human officials were happy enough to grant them something similar to diplomatic immunity.
Reaching their pack borders his mind was filled with welcomes and congratulations. Given how many seemed to be up despite the late hour he knew the pack had been waiting in keen anticipation for Phoebe’s arrival. Blue Moon’s Luna would be cherished and protected. He would have to assign a proper security detail for Phoebe. Jason was sure everyone would be eager to volunteer so he had to decide on qualifications to narrow down the potential list.
They had arrived ahead of the moving truck and Luke was already mindlinking the patrols to watch out for it and where to direct it when it arrived. It was times like these Jason as grateful for his Beta’s efficiency. All he cared about was getting Phoebe to bed so she could rest peacefully.
As the vehicles pulled up alongside the packhouse Jason immediately got out and went to his Luna’s side.
Unbuckling her seat belt he scooped her up and cradled her against his chest. She still hadn’t woken up and he was worried
