Storm also climbed out of the nest, gazing lovingly down at Kennedy. “I would do it all over again,” he declared.
“Same,” Eli agreed, before smirking at Storm. “Though, if given a do-over, I would have punched you harder.”
Epilogue
Kennedy
As I lounged on the sofa, Micha rubbed my feet absentmindedly while Sam cuddled into my chest.
Eli and Charlie were playing a video game, and it was gloriously peaceful, but I was already missing my baby girl.
Storm had taken Char on a few errands as a little daddy daughter time, and I was pretty sure they were going to go see Auntie Sunny if they had time. Slowly, I was getting used to not having Char glued to my side, which was a good thing. Storm loved being a dad and had taken to it so well.
I had tried relaxing in the nest, but had started to feel lonely, so I had gravitated toward the living space, where the rest of my pack was hanging out.
That’s how I found myself cuddled up on the couch as two of my packmates engaged in a video game battle.
My eyes were just starting to droop when the front door opened and Storm hurried in, a pissed-off look on his face. I sat up, glancing over the back of the sofa at him, instantly worried.
His face was red and a scowl marred his features.
Charlotte was cuddled into his chest, not a care in the world, so the tightness in my chest eased ever so slightly knowing she was probably okay.
“You’ll never guess what happened,” Storm growled as he dropped Charlotte's diaper bag onto the table with the arm that wasn’t keeping our baby snuggled into him.
“Dare we ask?” Charlie said, his attention no longer on the game.
“I decided to take Char to go see Auntie Sunny, as we discussed,” he said, running his free hand through his hair.
Standing, I handed Samuel to Micha and padded over to Storm, gently rubbing his back for a second before taking Char out of his hands. I had liked the idea of him taking Char to see Sunny, especially since she had been a little distant over the last few months. We hadn’t seen each other in person, just exchanged a few texts here and there.
“Is Sunny okay?” I asked nervously.
“I-I’m not sure, honestly,” he stammered. “Turns out her fucking building burned down six months ago! She didn’t even tell me!”
I stilled, gawking up at my mate. “What do you mean, burned down?”
“Poof, gone! There’s not even a building there anymore!” he said, eyes wide.
“Where is Sunny now?” Eli asked, standing up. His face was a mask of concern. Sunny was family, and we all needed to know what happened immediately.
“Turns out, she ended up staying at a firehouse with a bunch of firefighters!” He started pacing the room, and I took a step back so Char and I weren't in his path.
“What more can there be? Is she safe?” Micha asked.
“She’s bonded. To a pack of firefighters. Apparently, it was anaccident.” Storm growled.
Oh my.
I needed to call Sunny.
Right away.
Preferably before her brother had an aneurysm.
