I thought everyone had to have a pack?
No. It’s better to have a pack, but you can live without one.
That sounded like an excellent option. One that I would be happy to take advantage of—
We’re going to have a pack. I don’t know why you think of it as a burden. Having a pack is a privilege, and if you stop to look around, you’ve already started one.
Lucas isn’t in our pack. He’s the Alpha of his own.
Right, but Chris and Adrian would be in our pack. More and more will come, and soon you’ll have a pack full of people that you care enough about that being their Alpha will be an honor.
I don’t even know what it takes to be the Alpha of the pack.
You’re already being Alpha. You’re always rushing to save everyone. Leading the charge. Protecting the werewolves that you care about and the ones that are weaker.
But aren’t my friends rushing to save me right now? I mean—Astaroth is after me.
Only because if he takes you down, the rest follow.
Maybe so, but I still didn’t feel like I knew what being the Alpha meant. All I knew was I was doing the best I could to keep myself and everyone else alive.
I blew out a breath. I had enough to worry about for now. I’d deal with the pack stuff later. Much, much later.
The private terminal was legit. Blue metal slats wrapped around the small, one-story building, hiding what was beyond it from view. A man in a suit stepped through the door, holding it open as we got out of the car.
“Just this way. We have your baggage already loaded into the car.”
Wow. I’ve been to LAX a bunch, but I’d never flown like this. Please tell me we can come through here on the way back.
I’m pretty sure we can.
Okay. This did it. Being a Were was seriously awesome. Dastien and I had flown first class on our honeymoon, but this was way better. “Do you always fly this way?” I asked Lucas.
“Usually, but there are times when it doesn’t work out.”
“Like?”
“Like when a fey named Gobble transports you to Costa Rica and we’re in a rush to get back to Texas,” Lucas said with a little grin and Claudia snorted a laugh.
“That’s pretty specific.”
“Well, it was a pretty specific kind of an event.” His grin faded away. “But yes, I usually travel this way. The flexibility comes in handy when dealing with werewolf business, and I’ve made considerable investments for many years that have paid off very, very well.”
I whistled. “You guys. Lucas is loaded.”
He laughed it off, but it was impressive.
I hadn’t been too keen on the whole going wolf thing at the beginning, but I enjoyed it now. And the perks? I wasn’t sure I would’ve risked my life by getting bit for this, but it was still nice.
Another giant SUV idled at the curb on the other side of the building. “Where does Samantha live?” I asked as we all piled into it.
“I looked her up, and she’s still living in the same apartment in some neighborhood called Los Feliz. Someone should tell them that’s grammatically incorrect.”
I snorted. “It’s pronounced fee-lez, not fah-lease, and I don’t think the locals care about grammar much. She’s probably pretty close to Griffith Park, which is nice, but it’s going to be a haul from here.”
We settled into a nice silence as we headed into the thick LA traffic. We’d debated too much on the plane. I was all talked out, and until we had new information, I was settling in for a wait. I leaned against the door, resting my head against the window. Being back was weird. I’d spent my whole life here, but I never missed it. Not until now.
We could come visit.
