“No one is making you leave, Ada,” I whisper into her hair. “If they did, I’d be going with you. You’ll never be alone, and you never have to return to your pack if you don’t want to.”
“Where else would we go?” she asks softly.
“I was offered a few jobs while looking for you,” I explain. “We have options. I’ll always take care of you.”
She curls into me and lets me hold her. I was so worried about her.

Her voice is so soft. She’s embarrassed, but she has no need to be. “You still hit him even though your brain was fuzzy. I’m so proud of you.”
I kiss her forehead as the scents of my sister and her mate seep in.
