long history with flowers. I’m like the
first one in several generations to not pursue a career based on them,” Heath
told them as he led them out of the garage, and around the building towards the
back. “In fact, my parents own and run the little flower shop down town, and my
uncles and aunts own nurseries all over Canada.”
    “ Cool,” Havana said, “so why did ya choose to be a mechanic?”
    Heath turned to them when they arrived at the car, and
gave them a small smile. “I like flowers, but my passion is mechanics.”
    “ It takes a strong person to break from tradition to
follow your own path,” Dultyn said.
    Heath felt his heart warm with pride at the praise.
“Thank you.”
    “ Hey, if ya ever wanna pick any flowers, there’s this house that we are
going to fix up as our own that is overgrown with all sorts. Maybe you could
pick some for a lover, or someone.”
    “ Really? What kind?”
    “ There’re some really pretty hydrangeas in colors I’ve
never seen before. The bushes are super big because the house hasn’t been lived
in for decades,” Havana answered.
    A little excitement wormed through Heath’s body. “They
sound great. Where are they?”
    “ The road is a bit overgrown and bumpy, too, so you
might have to hike in from a point if you have a car. It’s beautiful out there,
full of wildflowers, too,” she told him.
    Havana gave him directions, and he thanked both of
them. He looked away as Dultyn planted a peck on her
lips before helping her into the car.
    “ I’ll be following right behind you,” he told her
softly.
    “ Yeah, yeah, yeah. We already had the ‘third time’s a
charm’ thing, so I’m sure nothing will happen.”
    Heath wasn’t sure what she meant, but he stepped aside
as she drove off the lot, followed soon by the larger man in another car.
    Heath walked back into the garage and wrote down the
directions she had given him, before he forgot them. Hydrangeas will be perfect to go with Enzo’s next delivery of flowers. Heath
decided to head out there right after work. It may be good to get outside a bit, he thought, and then carried on with
his day.
     

Chapter Three
     
    Rudo looked around the shop
that was just off to the side of the barn. In spite of the tractor and trailer
being stored here, it still had ample space to work. He could see tools for
both metal- and woodworking, and even a forge. Some of the tools were new, but
many were old, which made him smile. He sometimes liked to work the wood with
older tools.
    Beside him stood his new alpha with his hands on his
hips. “The tractor and trailer are what we’re going to use at pack runs, but I
can move them if you want.”
    Rudo shook his head. “No, it
doesn’t even take up half.”
    “ Aunt Betty says this used to be a carriage house. Then
when automobiles were invented and used more and more, it was turned into a
workshop after their old shop burned down. One of the turbines is in its place
now.”
    Ryker stood next to him, holding his hand. His mate
gave a light squeeze. “Do you have everything you need in here for your
woodworking?”
    While still taking in everything, Rudo smiled. “Yes. This space is better than what I had back home, and bigger. Some
of the tools aren’t here, but I have them back home, and I should be able to
move them here easily enough.”
    Alphy placed a hand on his shoulder. “I talked to your alpha this morning. He said he
was told you went on vacation and that he didn’t know you were missing.”
    Rudo’s brows drew down. “I was out of town on business. I was only supposed to be gone
a few days. It has been two months, so they should have known something was
wrong.”
    “ Alphy , are you sure the alpha said
he was on vacation?” Ryker asked. “I mean, why would he say that, if he knew Rudo was out on business?”
    Alphy withdrew his hand and rubbed his chin. “I don’t know. I was under the
impression that someone had told him. Maybe he thought you had gone
