16: Cooper
A powerful gesture opens the double doors that lead to our lair. My wolves are waiting for me. I can feel their thoughts, their worry, their anguish, even through the thick walls of our den. I understand them. I too am worried. And I’m sorry. I was so convinced that all of this was behind us… When Zev came to pick me up in my office a little earlier, I had no idea that he was going to announce the disappearance of one of us. Again. Ivy… I think back to this wolf, already mature and a mother, discreet but loyal. I remember her slight smile, and her kindness when I officially introduced Eli as my mate in front of the whole pack. Without a word, without extravagance, she knew how to make me understand that she was happy for me, her Alpha. Pushing away these sad thoughts, I enter our lair.
