Chapter 20 Rose's POV When my alarm went off, I stayed in bed for a few extra minutes just soaking in the feeling of pack bonds humming in my head gain. It was like having background music after years of silence - this constant gentle buzz of connection that I'd forgotten how nuch I missed. My old pack bond had never been officially severed since I'd just bailed instead of going through proper channels.

For months after I eft, I could still feel that faint pull back to Silver Creek territory, but pack bonds need maintenance. If you don't come back to feed he connection regularly, it just… fades away. Now there was this bright new bond in its place, tying me not just to Crescent Ridge pack but to the land itself. It felt amazing - amiliar but completely different from what I'd grown up with. ventually I hauled myself out of bed and got ready for the day.

Downstairs, Connor's family waved me over to their breakfast table. His parents were pretty cool, and his teenage sister Mia had me racking up with her sarcastic commentary about everything. Wanna come to the swimming hole with us after breakfast?" Connor asked hopefully. Rain check, buddy. First day of real work today." ime to see what this advisor gig was actually going to involve. Finally! Where've you been hiding?" Sierra said as I met her outside the conference room.

Connor's family kidnapped me for breakfast," I said. That kid's got it bad for you," she laughed as we headed inside. The hell are you doing?" Dante asked, watching me drag a chair from the wall toward the big meeting table. Finding somewhere to sit that won't piss anyone off." He looked lost. The table was set up with him at the head, Lucas on his right with an empty spot next to him, Sierra and Jax on the left ide, and another empty chair directly opposite Dante.

Those spots are reserved," I said, gesturing to the empty seats. "Luna's chair and Beta female's chair. I'm not touching either of them." Oh for fuck's sake," Dante muttered, but he waved Lucas over to make room. I squeezed my chair into the corner between the two acred empty seats. Satisfied with your seating arrangement, Your Highness?" Dante asked as I settled in. 'Perfectly, thanks," I said, which made everyone crack up.
