Chapter 16 “A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing…” ~ Human Bible, the Word of the Creator of humankind. Dalton stood outside the Colorado pack mansion with his mate at his side. It seemed like it had been forever since he’d been here, and the place almost didn’t feel like home anymore. But it was. Since Lee had died, Dalton was now the beta of his pack. And he knew with everything that was happening, he had to step up and be there for Dillon, just as his alpha had been there for him. He could feel some tension through the pack bonds. It had been so long since he’d really focused on his pack it was odd to feel their presence again so strongly.
