When Quirin got up for warrior training, I quickly showered and got dressed before going downstairs to help the omegas get ready for breakfast. I know they’re nervous having so many Alphas in the pack, which I’m guessing has never happened before. So, I want to make sure they are comfortable and help out if they need it.

We’ve just finished putting the food out when everyone starts coming inside.

“Dad, are you limping?” I ask him. Everyone else is chattering happily as they walk in.

“Apparently I’m out of shape,” he says as my mother walks over to him, quickly assessing his injury.

“Arric?” she asks, running her fingers over my father’s hip.

“I’m fine, my mate. It seems like this old wolf still has some new tricks to learn,” he answers.

“Don’t think your dad didn’t get in his punches. Man, I wasn’t expecting to work so hard today!” Lane says, walking up behind him and slapping my father on the shoulder.

“One of the best workouts I’ve had in a long time,” my father says, smiling at him.

Well, that’s unexpected.

“Me too. Your pack has a completely different fighting style than what we have, Ken. It’s pretty awesome! I feel like I’m back in pup school learning how to fight all over again,” Connor says. He’s at least not limping.

“You’re not the only one. Your brother is deadly,” Kelvin says to me walking in with Connor.

“At least you didn’t get tag–teamed by the killer twins,” Terrance says, smiling at my youngest siblings.

I notice not all of the warriors are interacting with my family, but quite a few of them are. I wonder if Quirin and Kier chose the ones they knew would get along well with my family to spar with them today.

“I want a rematch tomorrow,” Yorick says, walking in with Leo.

“If you’d battled against me a week ago, I would never have won. Your sister got me all patched up and now I’m stronger than ever,” Leo says. He’s the one who had three different injuries that have now all healed.

“Yeah, she and Mom are great at that. You’re lucky to have her,” he says, winking at me.

As everyone walks in, I see my mother assessing them just as I am. I’m assessing more than injuries though. I’m watching to see how the pack is interacting with them. I have no doubt that Quirin was careful during sparring. He’s been very clear that. nothing is to mar today for me and so far, everything seems to be going well.

It isn’t until Bradley comes limping in that I step forward. However, Trena beats me to him.

“Getting a bit old for sparring with wolves half your age, aren’t you love?”

“Apparently,” he grumbles, pulling her to him. “Are you going to kiss it and make it better?”

She chuckles. “If it’s not healed after breakfast, I will.”

“Did you hear that, Declan. Don’t be healing me,” he says to his wolf as he leans in to kiss him mate.

“What’s for breakfast?” Baron, Trena and Bradley’s oldest asks as he comes in.

“Anything you want,” Christy says cheerfully.

“There’s plenty of food. Help yourselves. My omegas need to start working on dinner tonight, so it’s self–serve this morning,” I announce.

Quirin walks in, coming straight over to kiss me.

“Everyone seems in good spirits,” I say softly.

“We had a good, hard training session this morning. I expect that it will be the same tomorrow,” he says, watching as everyone begins making their way to get food.

“Good. No problems?” I ask.

He turns his attention to me. “I told you that I won’t allow anyone to ruin today for you, my Luna, and I won’t. Everything is fine. It was a hard training session, but it was good.”
