Crush huffed and texted the group chat.
Crush
Kil and I are having a bit of trouble with some kidnappers from his past. They’ve been tracking him with magic and have followed us to my cloaked cabin. We’ve dealt with them but can’t stay here—they know our location. So we’re heading back to my pack for a bit of extra protection. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Titan
You’re coming down tonight?? Geez, lil pupper bro, give the fam some warning before you tumble through the door.
Crush
Don’t call me that! He’s looking at my screen!
Titan
Awwww
Does K know about the time you hid Dad’s birthday cake in your bed?
Crush
NO. DON’T TELL HIM. That’s fucking embarrassing. I don’t need him to know that.
Killian frowned. “But I want to know.”
Crush glanced over, his expression filled with dismay. “Sweetheart, that’s... That’s an embarrassing memory.I’mhorrified by my past self.”
Hansel snickered. “It’s an amazing story.”
Killian chewed his lip, wanting to know, but at the same time not wanting to betray Crush’s trust.
Crush took a deep breath. “I’ll tell you. One day.”
Killian squeezed Crush’s arm, humbled by how much the alpha was willing to give him. “Okay. Thank you.”
Crush nuzzled him and continued to type into his phone.
Crush
Anyway, this is your warning. We’re still at my cabin. We’re a couple of hours out.
Raptor
“Kil”? I didn’t know you and Killian were buddies
Crush
A lot of things happened today. We’ve gotten familiar with each other.
Duke
“Familiar”?
Ace
