-Madeleine- “Evan, what are you—” I squealed as he picked me up, making me laugh and wrap my arms around his neck as he carried me inside the house. I hadn’t expected to return here feeling so happy, but I was. “Welcome home, little wolf,” he said with a small smile. I smiled back and leaned in to give him a quick kiss before he set me down, still keeping a protective arm around me. It felt strange being back, but I was resolute. I was ready to be this pack’s luna. “Here you two go,” Lucian said as he walked through the door, carrying the last of the bags. “These are the final ones.” I smiled at him and walked over, giving him a warm hug. “You know you’re always welcome to come back,” I told him. “In a way, you should be the alpha of this pack. It was your father’s to begin with.”
