As I'm checking my bag to make sure | have everything | need, Grace comes in. She walks up behind me,

“Are you about ready?” She asks me.
“Yes, because apparently my mate lovesand packed my things for me. | say, turning in her arms and
wrapping mine around her.
“How are you feeling about this trip?” | ask. We haven't really had a chance to discuss this, or much of anything
lately.
“Only a little nervous. Angel and Cara seem very comfortable with King Ailduin and Maia has smemories of
him from Donovan, something about testing our strengths. If he can helptap into our Guardian strength even
more, it'll be worth it.”
We grab our bags and walk downstairs, saying our goodbyes to everyone before shifting and running the two
hours to Rik’s pack lands. When we get there, Trevor and Maddison are there waiting for us, and they escort us
to the packhouse.
I'm a bit surprised to see Cara and how much her stomach has grown in just two weeks. She's about a month
away from having her pup, and it already looks pretty uncomfortable to me.
“Good afternoon.” She says from her chair. “Angel and Liam just arrived and are
getting settled. You are in the sroom as last time, so feel free to drop off your bags, get settled and join us
back here. Rik will be back in a moment and Ailduin and Aolis are due to arrive around dinner time.”
We f get settled and join everyone on the back porch. The girls immediately begin talking about the mate
gathering which is scheduled for next weekend at Angel and Liam’s pack. | know sof our unmated pack
members are excited to have this chance to meet their mates, while others have indicated that they would like
to stay and work, planning to join in the next gathering.
“How many people should we plan for next weekend?” Angel asks Grace. She turns to look at me. “| believe
there are about 50, right?” | nod.
Angel frowns. “Only fifty? | thought you had more than 100 unmated wolves.” “We do, but swant to
continue to work on their homes. I'll speak to them again and let you know if that number changes, but if not, for

“I have no intention of excluding anyone. Everyone is welcome. It’s a mate gathering. I'm hoping all of our
members find their mates, no matter their status in the pack.”
“That will increase our numbers, but I'm not sure by how many. The omegas didn’t want to agree until they knew
for sure that they were welcome.”
“I think we have about 75 members going, right Rik?” Cara asks.
“About that. And we know that our pack members and yours, Angel, already have had the opportunity to meet
their mates and haven't found them, unless you have any wolves that have recently turned 18?” Rik asks.
“We have a few, but mostly it will be the individuals that didn’t find their mates in your pack. I'm excited to have
fresh blood.” She says, rubbing her hands and we all laugh. “We'll have about 75 from our pack as well, so if you
only send 50, that still puts us at 200 for the event. That's a good turnout and if you send more, even better.
Rik stands up. “Ailduin and Aolis are here. I'll go meet them and bring them back here.”
