Rafe waits until the laughter dies down.
Then he stands.
I rise automatically.
So does Daria.
The Alpha walks over and places one hand on my shoulder.
The other, he places on her shoulder.
“Rand Jameson.”
“Sir.”
“You've been a loyal member of this Pack your entire life.”
He looks at Daria.
“And you, Daria Woods.”
His smile is warm.
“You have already shown incredible courage.”
She smiles nervously.
“I mostly cried.”
“So did my mate when I told her about me the first time.”
Charley nods enthusiastically.
“I definitely cried.”
“I cried too,” Rafe admits.
“Really?”
“When I found her.”
He smiles at his wife.
“Still do sometimes.”
Charley rolls her eyes affectionately.
“Hopeless romantic.”
“Guilty.”
Rafe looks back at us.
“The Macconwood Pack welcomes you, Daria.”
Emotion shines in her whiskey-colored eyes.
“You are under our protection.You are now officially Pack.”
