“Aurora, what happened?” Kai pushedagain.
I quickly explained, but didn’t givehim details, and had to talk him out of driving over to Sylvia’s.
“This day is about Sadie. She isgoing to meet her mate. Meeting with Sylvia can wait.”

Apparently the Seattle Alpha and Kaiwent way back. They used to be in the same pack together in New Mexico. When weentered a large grassy park, I could see the space needle peeking out in thebackground, just like my vision. A man and a woman stood near a picnic tablewith a large group of people further back in the grassy area playing soccer.
“Shamus!” Kai embraced the large manwith a red, shaggy beard.
“Kai! My brother.” Shamus returned thehug. “You didn’t say much over the phone, just that this visit involved apossible mate for one of my wolves. All of my guys are in a frenzy withexcitement.”
“Well, it’s a long story, but mynewlychangedmate, Aurora, had to see a witch about something. Sadiewas there, and the witch did a palm reading for Sadie and said her mate mightbe in the Seattle pack.”
He doesn’t trust him? I thought.
‘I trust Shamus with my life, but nothis mate,’Kai toldme.
Interesting.
Shamus stepped towards me andextended his hand. “You must be Aurora. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He smiledgenuinely and I was careful to make only the briefest of eye contact. I tookhis hand. “A friend of Kai’s is a friend of mine.”
Shamus’ mate stepped forward and shookmy hand. “I’m Petra.” She had an air of snobbery and wore expensive jewelry andtoo much make up. I had my guard up after what Kai had told me.
‘She’s power hungry and money hungry,but she’s not a horrible person,’Kai said in my mind.
“Nice to meet you, Petra.” I held hergaze a little longer than polite and turned to Sadie.
“It’s good to see you both again,”Sadie greeted them.
Shamus smiled warmly at Sadie. “Iwould be one proud Alpha if one of my boys was your mate, Sadie. This isexciting. Should I have my boys shift and we can see what happens?”
That’s how it was in my dream.
“Yes,” Kai said, and nodded to Sadiewho began to undress and shift. All of the men on the soccer field began toundress and I cleared my throat, looking at my shoes.
“You will get used to it,” Petra toldme, winking. After a minute of hearing snapping bones and growls, Sadie stood afew feet ahead of us, facing the approaching wolves. She was a beautifulreddish wolf with small black spots and sleek fur. We stood in human form, aswell as the women and their mated partners on the field. I noticed there wereonly three mated couples and one child, to the twenty or so single malestrotting towards Sadie. My eyes were scanning the wolves one by one, but beforeI could get halfway through the approaching pack, I heard Shamus shout out injoy.
“It’s Brett!”
He looked at me and Kai. “He joinedmy pack two summers ago. Was a lone wolf, broke away from an aggressive pack inTexas. He is such a good guy. They will make a great pair.”
I turned to Kai and saw him swallowhard. I had forgotten for a minute that this was his ex-girlfriend. Sadieapproached Brett’s wolf and he jogged up to her and put his front paws flatwith his rear up in the air and yipped. He reminded me of a dog asking to playwith his owner. Sadie pounced on him and they rolled a few times before runningoff into the park. I knew what they felt. Total trust.
Shamus sighed. “Young love.”
Petra spoke next. “Will you wantBrett to transfer to your pack or–”
Kai shook off his thoughts. “No.Sadie and I have spoken, and in the event she found her mate today, she told meshe wishes to transfer to Seattle pack. She has my blessing.”
Shamus put his hand on Kai’sshoulder. “Trusting me with Sadie, with a mated female were and her future pupsis an honor. I will make sure she is well protected and provided for.”
Kai nodded. “I knew you would friend.That’s why I was happy to oblige her request. I just hope you have a spot for adominant female who thinks she should be your next second in command.”
We all shared a laugh at that.
A while later, Sadie and Brettchanged into human form and got dressed. Brett was told that Sadie would bejoining his pack.
