Quirin
When I get back to the hallway with where we have our offices, walk into Kier’s office.
“Looks like you have an admirer,” I say, putting the plate down front of him. He smiles but doesn’t comment
“How’s our Luna?” he asks instead,
“Good. I told her she could do whatever she wants to the pack hospital, just so you know. If for some reason I’m not here …”
“I’ll make sure she knows that anything she wants to do is okay?” he asks, making sure he understands the level of autonomy I’m giving her.
“She can level the building and start over if she choo
to do so
He looks at me a moment. “You know our warrio
will nev
go there.”
I shrug. “Maybe she can look after the pups when they scrape their knees or get splinters in the feet. I don’t care what she does over there, I just want her to be happy.”
“Free rein. Got it. Also, the last of our hostages perished during interrogation while you were checking on Luna Kennedy.”
“You?” I ask, wondering if he lost control and killed our last remaining hostage. I was hoping to get more information out of him.
“No, Arlo. Apparently, he went a bit too hard on him.”
Arlo is one of the rogues that is more aggressive than the others. He’s one that I have to keep in line which is why I told him to get out of the kitchen earlier. He’s a fantastic fighter, but that’s partly because he likes to hurt people. I understand that, since I’m the same. But Arlo doesn’t show the same restraint that I do. During sparring matches, most of the injuries to the other warriors come from him. If he had more control of his anger, I’d make him my Lead Warrior, but he’s just shy of feeling like a loose cannon, and I don’t trust him completely to lead my warriors.
“No more interrogations by Arlo until I approve it.”
“Well, we’re out of hostages, so until we have more, it’s a moot point.”
I head back to my office and look over the pack’s finances, making sure that we’re still making plenty of money. Since the pack doesn’t spend money frivolously, we have plenty, enough for me to build a new pack hospital, throw an incredible Luna party, and still have money to spare.
Since I’m thinking of it, I call Luna Farrah.
“Quirin, I hope everything is okay?” she answers.
“Yes and no. I need your help.”
I can almost hear her eyebrow raising through the phone line. “You’ve never asked for my help before. What could be so important that you need my help now?”
Before I can answer, she interrupts. “Oh wait. That’s right. You have a sweet new Luna. How is Alpha Kennedy?”

Chapter 115
“Luna Kennedy,” I say, stressing the title, “is doing well. She’s evaluating our crappy pack hospital as we speak.”
“And she’s wearing your mark?”
“Of course.”
“And you’re wearing hers?”
“She’s an Alpha female, Farrah. There’s no way she wasn’t going mark me.”
“Good. What can I do for you, Quirin?”
“I need to plan a Luna ceremony. I don’t know the first fucking thing about having a Luna ceremony.”
“Do you want one that is suited to your utilitarian pack, or one that is suited to her?”
“It’s her ceremony, it should be reflective of her.”
“You know the pack may not like that,” she says.
“I don’t give a fuck if they like it. I’ve already told my Beta that anyone who doesn’t accept her, can leave.”

“Alpha Quirin, you make me proud,” she says, and I can hear the pride in her voice. I feel my throat tighten. Farrah is one of a handful of people whose opinion of me matters. No one’s matters more than Kennedy’s, but Farrah and Henry are close seconds. Her saying that she’s proud of me means everything to me.
“Thank you, Luna.”
“Now, what do you need, and when do you plan to have this party?”
I spend the next couple of hours talking about the party planning before I finally tell her that I don’t care what she does as long as Kennedy will like it. She can come paint my pack pink with little puppies and kittens all over the walls if that’s what will make Kennedy happy.
“How much money do I have to spend, Quirin?” she asks.
“Whatever it takes,” I tell her.
She chuckles. “Luckily for you, I won’t take advantage of that, but I will be putting together a party unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.”
“Thanks, Farrah.”
“You can thank me by being the kind of mate that girl deserves,” she says,
“I’m working on it,” I tell her.
We say goodbye and then it’s time for me to go find Kennedy.
This time when I open the mind link, I can feel the wheels in her mind working overtime.
Are you about ready for dinner, mate?‘ I ask her.
‘Oh! Yes. I have so much to talk to you about, Quirin.’

Chapter 113
Okay, I’ll come get you.’
‘I’ll meet you there, she says,
“Are you smiling?” Kier asks, walking into my office.
“You know I don’t smile,” I grumble.
“That looked awfully close to a smile.”
“Hey, how do you think the pack will respond to Kennedy’s Luna ceremony?” I ask him.
He frowns. “What kind of ceremony?”
“The kind she would want,” I say, watching him.
He whistles low. “I don’t know, Alpha. We’re not really a pack who enjoys frivolous parties.”
I nod, knowing he’s right. “Well, we’re going to have one. Farrah is going to put it together. If you hear any grumblings about it, shut that shit down.”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“I’m going to have dinner with Kennedy. You’re welcome to join us if you’d like to get to know your Luna. Then, I’m going to show her around the pack and Raif wants to run with Echo.”,
“Echo? That’s a pretty name.”
I growl, feeling extremely possessive of my mate.
Kier raises his hands. “I was just making a comment, Alpha. I’m not after your mate.”
“That’s good because she’s wearing MY mark and I’ll kill anyone who tries to take her from me.”
“As you said, she’s wearing your mark. Before you go, Alpha. One more question.”
“What’s that?”
“Are you expecting that Alpha Warren will be coming for Luna Kennedy’s Luna ceremony?”
I scrub my hands over my face. “Yes. I’ll have to make an announcement. Anyone who wants to be away during her Luna ceremony will have to accept her as their Luna before they leave. Otherwise, they’re not welcome to return.”
He blows out a breath. “I hope she’s worth it Alpha.”
This time it’s Raif who growls and Kier’s wolf, Rowd, lifts his neck in submission.
“Never doubt for a minute that she’s worth it.”
“Yes, Alpha,” he says. Raif holds him there long enough to make his point before releasing him.
Then I walk out, ready to go
