“We’ll find out when Fran gets home.”
Berni looked at Jacob. “Problems? I understand last night went well. That was a lovely idea of yours, having Laura cook a special meal.”
“Just a miscommunication, I hope. Fran and I will chat when he comes home after work,” Jacob replied.
“Misunderstandings and miscommunications happen, it’s a fact of life. Just be open and honest and everything will sort itself out,” Berni told him.
“It will. Are you and Frank coming outside later and shifting with us?” he asked.
“I could come for a few minutes. Frank?”
“I can come as well. I don’t have a meeting until four. I’m also finalising a training rota, I just need Fran, Robbie, and Emory’s shifts.”
“And I contacted our college. They’re in the process of having all your school records transferred over. They want the three ofyou to pop in next week, so you can look around and discuss your lesson plans.”
“We can do that,” Finn said. “It’ll be strange being in a college with people that will talk to me and help me if needed.”
Ezzy laughed. “You’re mated to the future Duke, everyone will be bowing and sucking up to you. You’ll have more friends than you know what to do with.”
“I’d forgotten about that,” Finn muttered.
“Not to mention you’re the only white wolf there is. That would have gotten out after your fight with your father when the fair was on. Thankfully, no one knows about Jacob being the only silver wolf yet,” Ezzy added.
“We’ll try and just keep that in the family,” Berni said. “We’re still looking into what a silver wolf means.”
“I found something that said a silver wolf was only born once every five thousand years or something and that they were called ghost wolves. But it didn’t say anything about abilities or what a ghost wolf was,” Finn told them.
“I don’t think I’ve heard the term ghost wolf before,” Frank said, looking at Berni. “At least I can’t remember learning about them, can you Bern?”
“No, but it’s another line to follow anyway.”
Everyone chatted while Berni finished his lunch, and then they all went outside, shifted, and played.
CHAPTER 47
“Have you thought of what you can do yet?” Emory asked Fran later that afternoon.
“Do what about what?” Robbie asked, walking over and joining them.
“A way to apologise to Jacob.” He went on to explain to his cousin what happened.
“So what are you going to do?” Robbie asked.
“Stop off at the shops on the way home and buy us both lunchboxes.”
“That’s a good idea. I’m sure he’ll love that.”
“I hope so. Not even mated a day and I already have to apologise to him. Some mate I am.”
“Stop that. You’re a good mate and Jacob knows that,” Robbie said.
“I can look at buying him a belated birthday present while I’m there as well. He wants Laura to teach him how to make my favourite foods, so I might buy him something cooking-related.”
“When was his birthday?” Emory asked.
“The day before Finn was kicked out. Joe told me apart from him and his parents, no one else wished him a happy birthday.”
“Now that I think about it, nothing was mentioned about his birthday. You would have thought as Alpha heir, his birthday would have been celebrated, if not by his father, then by others in the pack,” Emory said thoughtfully.
