asked.
"You catch on quick," Trajan slapped Jayson on the shoulder. "Winkler notified the local Pack—they know I'm here, but they can't disallow the visit."
"Want to go to the store?" Opal asked.
"Yeah. Wolves eat a lot, you know."

"How are you feeling?"
Adam and Franklin, Merrill's son, had come for dinner. Adam and I hadn't had a chance to talk the night before. I didn't mind—I felt slightly embarrassed that my surrogate sire likely knew of my refusal to allow him to teach me anything else.
"I feel okay—if feeling weaker than a kitten is okay," I sighed. "I barely made it, walking three times across the pool this afternoon."
"You'll come back fast," Adam said. "Faster than a normal person might, anyway." He smiled gently at me. "I hear that Karzac wants to invite you to dinner. We've decided that NorthStar would be the ideal location—Ashe has extended his shield to cover it and EastStar."
"Kevis said that," I nodded, picking at my food.
"Eat, sweetheart. Nobody is here to pressure you or make you feel uncomfortable."
"That still doesn't mean I won't feel that way," I said.
"I understand that," he nodded. "I wanted to see you—tell you that I'm available if you need anything, or to run interference if somebody upsets you." He smiled at that—he was offering to act as a father figure if I needed it, to intercede on my behalf with what looked to be a gathering herd of potential mates.
"That may be the nicest thing anybody has offered to do for me, ever." I smiled at him, but my lower lip trembled slightly. Nobody had ever asked to be my parent before. I had someone stepping up now.
"I contacted Gavin earlier, and we set up an account for you on Le-Ath Veronis. It'll be there, if you need to access it. Trajan has the information, whenever you want something," Adam continued. "Kiarra, Lissa, Kyler and Cleo bought the clothes in your closet. If you don't like any of it, let Lissa know. It was purchased in Casino City."
"How is Teeg doing?" I asked.
"Ah. He's doing well. There was a meeting yesterday, with the renewable energy commission. Things went smoothly." Adam smiled.
"Good. I was a little worried after the stabbing." Adam knew. I knew he knew, and he gave me a slight nod. Tybus was fitting into his new role easier than anyone might have expected.
"I can arrange to invite him to dinner, when you come to NorthStar," Adam offered.
"Would you? I think I'd like to talk with him," I said. "How soon?"
"I think you can go in two days," Kevis spoke up. "Provided everything else proceeds as planned."
"We can make arrangements for that," Adam agreed.

"We have two days to plan," Kiarra smiled at Kyler. "Think we can pull this off?"
"Yeah. No problem," Kyler nodded. "Cleo wants in, too. Daddy wants to bring a contingent from Grey House—they owe Breanne a lot."
"Conner says no way we're leaving her out of this," Kiarra said. "That means Shane will be helping us with the food."
"Will this place hold everybody?" Kyler asked, grinning impishly.
"We'll make sure it holds everybody," Kiarra replied.

"Kevis, why are you here?" I wanted to moan, but he'd just tease me about it. I was already in bed reading, with four lion snake shapeshifters for company. All four were coiled or draped around me, waiting for me to turn out the light.
"I'm here with the finger," he held up an index finger. I blinked at him.
"Huh?" I wasn't getting it.
"It goes like this," Kevis took a step toward my bed. "I hold up my finger like this," he illustrated by holding his hand high, the finger pointed toward the ceiling. "And then let it descend, until it touches your forehead, like this." He poked me in the middle of my forehead. Darkness came immediately.

"I can't believe you pulled that off," Ashe shook his head at Kevis. He'd misted in beside the healer and watched as Kevis placed Breanne in a healing sleep. Both worried she'd get no rest
