“How’s Carson doing?”
“As far as I can tell, fine. After Oracle left, he and Remy gave us a tour of the winery. By the way, Remy has three younger brothers who are really a handful but they’re cute. Carson adores them.”
“Aww, Daniel, Jake and Jessica will have more cousins.”
“You mean some more pup pack members,” chuckled Hunter.
“That, too.”
“Oracle has left and should be home by tomorrow morning if you have any questions about Remy or Carson.”
“Thanks for the heads up.”
“So, what did you want to talk to me about? I’m sure it won’t come close to my news,” laughed Hunter.
Chuckling, Jackson said, “I’ll let you be the judge. First, Quin wants to become a member of the Blackwood Pack.”
“I thought he was by virtue of me.”
“Of course, he is…but he wants to stay here permanently, well at least for the foreseeable future.”
“Whoa…do you know why?” asked Hunter.
“No, I haven’t spoken to him about it…I wanted to know first what you think. I’ll say this, though, Quin now is a whole lot different than the Quin I met when you guys arrived. At mealtimes, he’s laughing and smiling with Theo, Kieran and Norm…teasing Mason and Sawyer…and even Zane. And he’s super gentle with David. Hunt, I don’t know his story but whatever he’s found here, has been good for him.”
“Do you know if he’s spoken to Mase about staying?”
“No, I don’t but I was told he was prepared to submit a petition seeking membership so I assume he’d ask Mason to help him.”
“He’s really serious about this?” asked Hunter.
“It appears so.”
“I have to think about this Jackie. I haven’t told any of my brothers I don’t intend to go back east. My home iswith Fionn and he wants to be with your pack so that’s where I’ll be, but I still feel I should run my plans past them.”
“Do you think any of them will have a problem with it?”
“Mason, maybe. The rest…well, after this assignment, Mac will be assigned somewhere else, Robin will be in the recording studio for several months before the record company sends him out on tour. His manager has been pushing him to relocate to New York but, as far as I know, he hasn’t made a decision on that.”
“What about Sawyer?” asked Jackson.
“Sawyer wants to travel the world, trying every extreme sport there is.”
“Is that why he left to go surfing?”
“Partly. The surfing he’ll be doing in Southern California is hardly extreme but I expect once he learns he’ll go off in search of the world’s biggest wave.”
“So that only leaves Mason and Quin and you know what Quin wants,” Jackson said.
“And I don’t have a problem with it, but Mase is the wild card. He has always been the one Quin turned to when he was upset.”
“What about your investment company? Mason’s your partner, right?” asked Jackson.
“Yeah, and that’s why I should speak with him first…let him know I’ll be staying and see what he wants to do.”
“Why don’t I do this…I’ll speak to Quin, listen to why he wants to stay, then ask him to wait until you get back so you all can have a family meeting.”
“That’s sounds good…and it makes perfect sense since Sawyer should be home by then.”
