“Beowulf Trust,” Hunter answered.

“Good name,” said Steel. “I know Mac’s a doctor. What about the rest of your brothers?”

“Robin is a singer, Mason works with me, and Sawyer…well Sawyer’s a free spirit,” Hunter explained.

“What about Quin?” asked Jackson.

“What about him?” Hunter growled.

“I mean, what does he do?” asked Jackson.

“He works with me,” Hunter replied, not wanting to divulge anything about his brother.

Jackson let the subject drop when it became clear his cousin wasn’t going to say anything further. There were lots of secrets his cousin had and, while he couldn’t blame him for not wanting to disclose them, Jackson wasn’t happy about it. But then, Hunter probably wasn’t happy about the secrets he was keeping from him either, especially about Fionn. Looking around the table, his eyes fell on Mac who’d just asked Cody a question.

“Theo told us you were opening a home for boys?”

“A home for young gay shifters whose families don’t want them,” Cody replied. “Dylon and I decided on it after seeing what happened to the boys and Kieran.”

“The boys?” asked Sawyer.

“Sorry, Theo and Norm.”

“Theo told us about what happened and how you and Dylon saved them,” Mason said.

Changing the subject, Cody said, “What about you Mac? Now since you don’t have to take care of our mom anymore, what are your plans for the future?”

“Oh, I have a job lined up for the next nine months, then, who knows?”

“Do you have a specialty?” asked Dylon.

“Nope, no specialty. I’m a general practitioner,” Mac replied.

“How come you chose that rather than specializing?” asked Cody.

“It seemed like the best fit for what I wanted to do,” Mac said before adding, “Is Colton also a doctor?”

“He’s a nurse,” answered Cody. “His mate, Ian, is the pack’s doctor.”

“Oh,” mused Mac, thinking about the scene he interrupted that morning, puzzled how the nurse was the Alpha in their personal life but clearly had no problems taking orders from an Omega in his professional capacity.Most unusual.

“Mac is curious about the hospital we have,” Logan said.

“Indeed, I am,” replied Mac. “Most packs only have a clinic…if that, but a fully equipped hospital with operating capabilities…well that’s unheard of.”

Shrugging, Cody said, “Don’t know about that, but I’m sure Colton and Ian do.”

After finishing breakfast, Hunter leaned back in his chair, idly listening to the conversation between Mac and Cody while thinking about his mate. Kieran assured him Fionn would return and for now, that would have to do. Suddenly, he heard Quin’s laughter. Looking down the table, he was struck by the happiness on his youngest brother’s face. It had been a long time since he’d seen Quin’s old, bubbly personality emerge. Catching Mason’s eye, he tilted his head towards their youngest brother who was giggling at something Theo said, and raised his eyebrows.

Mason looked over at Quin who was in a huddle with Theo and Kieran, obviously talking about something funny from the sounds of their laughter. Shaking his head in disbelief, Mason was astonished at how quickly his brother had changed from a quiet, shy and fearful person. Watching Quin for a few minutes, he was thankful thatTheo and Kieran were bringing his brother out of his shell.

“Theo, Ki,” Quin whispered, “I need your help.”

“With what?” asked Theo.

“Not here. After breakfast and some place private,” Quin whispered, not wanting Hunter and Mason to know what he was planning.

“What about the motorhome?” asked Ki.
