I studied her face carefully. I needed to know if she was okay. I needed to know that she was telling the truth.
“It didn’t,” she said, giving me a small smile.
“You have to teach me how to help her if it happens again,” I heard Hunter’s voice.
I was so focused on Fia that I didn’t even hear him come.
I gulped and glanced down at her. It would definitely happen again and I wondered how bad it would be the next time.
“I need to know what to do when we go back to our pack,” Hunter said, making my heart stop. “I need to know how to help her when you aren’t around.”
Right.
I wouldn't be around when she left.
Oh, Goddess, I didn’t even think about that.
I gulped and gritted my teeth.
How the fuck would I get used to not seeing her every day? I couldn't remember a day when I didn’t see her. We were always together. We did everything together.
Fia understood what was going on inside my mind. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly.
I looked down at my sister and gulped.
“We will see each other all the time,” she said softly. “I promise. It’s only a two-hour drive.”
Right.
Only a two-hour drive.
I hugged her back.
“You are always welcome at our pack, Alex,” Hunter said, making me look up at him. “You can come to visit every day if you want to.”
Of course I wanted to.
But we both knew it would be impossible. I would take over our pack soon. I would have a job to do. She would become a Luna and she would have a job to do too. We wouldn't be able to see each other every day.
“I will tell you what helps,” I mumbled. “But I will be only a call away if she needs me.”
“Of course,” Hunter said, smiling at me.
I looked back down at my sister.
“Where are mom and dad?” she asked as she let go of me.
“They are still at the packhouse,” I answered. “They are making a contract between our packs.”
My sister looked back at Hunter.
“Shouldn’t you be there?” she asked him. “You are the Alpha.”
Hunter shook his head and smiled. “I trust my dad and we discussed everything before he left. He knows what to do.”
Fia nodded and looked back at me.
“Coffee?” she asked as she started walking toward the kitchen.
