Cael didn't know what he was doing. This much he can admit to himself. The past few days has been crazy.
He had told himself that bringing Elisa and Tilly here was just a matter of security, he was acting as an Alpha protecting a vulnerable wolf, an omega for that matter . That it was logical, it was necessary.
But watching his mother smile softly as she listened to Tilly, seeing Mira animatedly talking to Elisa as if she were an old friend, it stirred something in him he hadn't felt in years.
He had never brought anyone home.
And now, here she was.
Elisa, who had challenged all his ideals, careful rules and calculations. Who made something in his chest tighten every time she looked at him. And cute and lively Tilly who made his mother smile in a way he hadn't seen in a long time.
