“She’s waiting on me,” Teagan called out, leaving the house. “Heath wants me to review how her operations in the Tribunal work.” Teagan made a gesture for Corissa to go back into the Tribunal. “Sorry about that,” he whispered to me before following Corissa and her two werewolves inside.

I watched the chaos continue to unfold. New arrangements were being made. The packhouse construction was going to be sped up. Hasan eventually left with Subira. Niko went home just to get some peace. Landon and Dirk left, taking Carey to give me some time in my house by myself and to enjoy an evening with Heath, who I was waiting for.

I was patiently waiting, not wondering how I could waste my time or anything. Just waiting.

It was dark when Heath fell onto the couch beside me, where we were relegated until the bed was replaced, which would take a couple of days.

“Welcome back,” I whispered, leaning my head on him. “Busy day taking over the world?”

“Busy day trying to make sure every werewolf on the planet knows that I will always choose you,” he said, kissing me. “Do you want to train with me tomorrow? I think I want to establish combined werewolf and werecat forces who could work well together. We can do it together. Hasan shrugged when I mentioned it to him, so I think that's okay if I can find the werecats…”

“Yeah. I think I can help with that. Find the werecats, at least.” I smiled. “Can I be on one of these teams or whatever you want to call them?”

“Only if you’re on mine,” he whispered in my ear.

“Obviously. I’m tired of not having you through everything. I think we need to stop letting it happen. Germany, Alaska, investigating the witches, my nightmares.”

“Agreed,” he said, pulling me in for a long kiss.
