"You don't have to go you know," Kai said as I grabbed my bags.
"Yes I do," I argued. "I have things to take care of."
Meaning, I had to make sure Fen hadn't destroyed my home. In hindsight, I shouldn't have left him there alone, but I hadn't been thinking properly.
"But—"
"Kai, I will come back and visit again soon, okay? I promise, but I really do have to go."
I could tell that he still didn't want to let me leave, but Tyson shot him a look that sent him out of the room, likely to sulk to Easton.
"Are you hoping to talk to him?" He asked me in a hushed voice.
"I told you that he wasn't there anymore."
"You're telling me that in the months he was there nobody knew what pack he was from? Don't you also have his number?"
"I do, but I'd feel awkward texting him out of the blue like that and I'm sure that there are some people—" or rather, a specific person. "Who knows where he's at, but I highly doubt they'll tell me."
"It can't hurt to try," he argued. "Stop making excuses. You'll only regret them later."
"Finding your mate's changed you," I told him. "I like it though."
Tyson grinned at me before helping me move the rest of my bags to the car. Once I was settled, I pulled him into a hug and did the same to my other two brothers.
"You know, I'm sure Mom and Dad would love it if you stayed," Easton said and I rolled my eyes.
"I saw them yesterday. If it didn't work for them then it won't work for you."
Easton sighed, but I could see the corners of his lips rise. "I love you, Kangaroo. Don't forget that."
I scowled at the old nickname. "I thought we agreed to let that die a long time ago."
He shook his head. "You're always going to be Kangaroo to me."
"You're infuriating," I shook my head. "Also, while I'm here, quit giving Ty's mate such a hard time."
Easton's expression shifted and he opened his mouth, but I raised my hand to stop him. "Let him be happy with his mate. Put that energy into finding your own."
