“Right now, I don’t know. Steel is trying to locate him.”
“Steel is your mate, correct?” asked Mason, confirming what Steel had told them when he’d come to get Hunter.
“Yes.”
“Is it normal for Fionn to disappear?” asked Mason.
“No…I don’t think so, but Logan can answer that better than I,” Jackson responded.
Puzzled at Jackson’s reply, Mason glanced quizzically at Hunter, before saying, “I think we’re missing something…why would Logan know and not you?”
“Because Fionn was with my brother in Scotland for the last month,” Jackson replied. “Everyone had just returned when you drove up.”
“Why was Fionn there? Visiting family?” asked Mason.
“Not exactly. Look, it’s a long story,” Jackson said.
Jerking his head towards the pack house, Hunter growled, “Your mate is headed here but Fionn isn’t with him.”
“Hunter, stop that shit,” Mason muttered.
Noticing the tense stand-off between Jackson and his cousin, Steel approached slowly to avoid provoking Hunter’s wolf. Nodding to Mason and Hunter, he looked at his mate. “Zane doesn’t know where Fionn is, and Theo and Norm aren’t around either.”
“Your bear shifters are in the motorhome with our brother, Quin,” Mason said.
“Thanks,” Steel said. “I’ll go ask them now.”
“I don’t think so,” Hunter said, blocking Steel’s path. “Mason, would you tell Quin’s guests their Alpha wants to see them?”
“Sure,” Mason said, taking a step toward the motorhome, then, pausing, he looked at Jackson. “No offense intended, but Quin doesn’t like strangers.”
“Understood. Steel and I will wait here.”

“Wait until you meet our friend, Ki. His real name is Kieran, but we call him Ki. He loves pink and I meaneverything pink,” Theo said giggling. “After we were rescued, he took us shopping and bought pooh bear and me matching pink briefs.”
“Then he wanted to buy us matching pink outfits, but I put my foot down,” Norm said. “It wasn’t easy because he can be quite insistent.”
“I think he was here, at least I think he was.” Quin grinned. “He said he loved my dress.”
“That sounds like him. I do, too, by the way,” Theo said. “However, I really love your aroma. Is that from the soap you use?”
“No,” Quin said, getting up and digging around in his luggage. Finding what he was looking for, he handed a small, blue bottle to Theo. “I ordered it online because I loved the description of what was in it. Try it.”
Removing the stopper, Theo sniffed it, “Oh, wow! I love it.”
“I use it after I shave,” Quin said. “I looked for the longest time, trying to find one with a scent that wasn’t so musky. You can have it cause I always carry a spare.”
“Really? Thanks.” Holding the bottle up to Norm, Theo asked, “Pooh bear, what do you think? Like it?”
Sniffing it, Norm smiled at Theo. “It’s awesome.”
“I’ll try it tomorrow.”
Giving a quick knuckle-rap on Quin’s bedroom door, Mason poked his head in. “Quin? Theo and Norm’s Alpha is waiting outside and wants to talk to them.”
“We were just talking about books, and stuff. They aren’t in trouble, are they?” Quin asked.
