As he lifted his mouth from my neck, a surge of pride hit me from my mate.
"Brett Andrew Fullson, you are now a member of the Terrin Pass Pack. As your alpha, I welcome you."
"Thank you, Alpha Kurt." I fell back to my knees, arching my neck toward him in submission as I explored the new link created between us.
"Come and welcome your new brother, Brett," Kurt called to his wolves.
One by one, the wolves in attendance all came over, kneeling down beside me to lick at the wound on my neck from Kurt's bite. The blood and saliva linked each one of us. We were like family now. While they couldn't feel me the way Kurt or Bayne could, it was enough to feel stronger emotions and know when someone needed help.
"I'm the last." Bayne was suddenly beside me. "I'm so proud to have you as my mate, and now pack member. I love you."
"I love you too." I arched my neck even more as he put his mouth to me, licking gently over the wound.
Once Bayne had moved away, Kurt took my hand and pulled me up. "Congratulations and welcome to the Terrin Pass Pack." He hugged me. "Usually I would lick the wound clean, but I think I'll leave that to your mate. Go be alone for a few minutes, shift and heal. I've got some phone calls to make. Meet me in the kitchen in twenty minutes and we'll work on our plans."
"Thank you." I hugged him again before Bayne pulled me back into his arms.
"You okay?" Bayne led me to one of the bedrooms.
"I haven't felt this good in a long time. The pack link is so different than the other I had. It's refreshing." I had to get my parents to move. This was how pack was supposed to feel. What we had with Pete was nothing more than a way for him to have control and use the wolves under him.
"It feels right to have you as part of the pack. Like we are complete now." He shut the bedroom door before pulling me into his arms. "Your blood could become addicting."
"Good thing you can bite me any time you want." I arched my neck in offering to him.
He licked over the bloody wound. There was no pain, only a jolt of pleasure as his mouth sucked against the skin.
"Careful or we'll be called vampires." I laughed.
"Nope, that won't work. I enjoy the sunlight too much." He pulled back. "You better shift and heal so we can get back out there."
I didn't want to go back out. I wanted to toss Bayne onto the bed and sink inside him. I forced the urge back. We would have time for that once we found Justin and figured out why he'd killed Bridger and attacked me and the others. Protecting the pack had to come first, and we couldn't wait for more to be attacked. The sooner we had him in custody, the sooner life could get back to normal.
I stepped back and started to strip my clothes. "My wolf isn't happy you aren't shifting with me."
"Tonight, I'll shift, and our wolves can spend the night together," Bayne promised.
It was enough. Ready to face the rest of the day, I fell to my knees and shifted. Hopefully, we'd get the answers we needed and by the time we were alone later, this would all be behind us.
