They walked through together, and she closed the portal. He found his clothes and dressed, pulling his cell from his pocket. “Battery’s dead, but that’s okay. We can knock on the alphas’ door, so they know I’m fine.”
She took his offered hand and they began to walk to the house. “Do you think they were worried about you?”
“I don’t know. Lucian, Mia, and Sam were with me when I noticed you, and they saw me walk into the woods to you. If anyone asked where I was, they might have assumed I was with you.”
“I would have given you my phone if I’d even thought of it.”
He laughed. “Sweetheart, it never occurred to me either. The last thing on my mind was checking in with anyone.”
They walked into the backyard of the house, and Brynn stood from one of the chairs with a mug in hand. “Good morning! I was wondering where you went off to, Ren.”
“Morning, Alpha Brynn,” Ren said. “Kismet is my truemate. I went home with her the night of the full moon.”
“Oh, wow!” Brynn said, as the sliding back door opened and Acksel stepped out. “Did you hear, Acksel?”
“That’s great news, congratulations to you both. Did you really dream about Ren because you’re mates?”
“I guess so,” Kismet said. She and Ren walked onto the porch.
Brynn hugged Kismet and said, “This is awesome news! I wanted to tell you that the flower bundle you gave me has worked. I’ve had nothing but sweet dreams since you gave it to me.”
When she went to the alphas’ home for the first time to give them the book with the berserker oathing ceremony, she’d picked some favorite flowers from her garden and tied them with a ribbon. She’d told Brynn to hang them from her headboard to encourage good dreams.
“I’m so glad it worked.”
“Can you two come in for a visit?” Acksel asked.
“Actually,” Ren said, “we’re hungry so I was going to take her to Luna’s, then head to my place to clean up. We can come back later today.”
“How about for dinner?” Brynn asked. “I’ve got pot roast and fresh veggies from Adam and Dani’s garden.”
“Sounds like a plan,” Ren said. “Is it okay with you, sweetheart?”
Kismet nodded. “Anytime I don’t have to cook is good with me.”
They said goodbye, agreeing to return at six for dinner. She and Ren walked around the house to the street where a red pickup truck was parked. He opened the passenger door for her, closed it, and then sat behind the wheel.
As the engine roared to life, he asked, “Do you drive? I didn’t see a car at your house.”
“There aren’t vehicles like this in the fae realm. We walk or fly or use horses.”
“Can you fly long distances?”
“If I’m not carrying anything, I could fly for a few miles. My wings tire and I have to stop, otherwise I risk the muscles in my back cramping and potentially falling from the sky.”
“Damn. Have you ever fallen before?”
“Not from too high. When I was learning how to use my wings, I had a few accidents, but never broke anything or got injured too badly.”
“That’s good. Can you carry a person?”
“A small child yes, an adult, no. Males usually have bigger wings, so my dad could carry an adult, but not for a super long distance.”
“It would be cool as hell to fly.”
“It’s definitely fun,” she said.
While they drove to Luna’s, which was a restaurant owned by pack members, he pointed out various locations. “That’s my shop,” he said as he stopped for a traffic light and gestured to Wilde Creek Auto.
