stiffly as Grant gazed between the two of them.
    Grant stared as his father carried on, his voice now forceful and commanding, “It’s settled. I’ll call a Pack meeting and announce Grant will take over as Alpha. There may be an objection or two and if there are then they will have to be dealt with as normal. Grant, are you willing to fight for your place as Alpha?”
    Grant stood taller, his face shining with excitement. “Hell, yeah!”
    Cam laughed, punching his brother in the arm. “That’s the way, Grant. Good luck, Brother.”
    “I won’t need luck, Cam.” Grant gave a lopsided grin. “I’m much tougher than I look and if anyone challenges me then they’ll find that out the hard way.”
    “I’m sure they will, Brother.” Cam looked to his father who seemed lost in thought.
    “So, I guess I’m going to visit Uncle Fearghas.” Cam saw his father come out of whatever reverie he was in, nodding once.
    “The three boys are going with you.” The Alpha stepped forward, placing a hand on Cam’s arm. “We may not be close but you’re still my son and I won’t send you without some back-up.”
    Cam met his father’s eyes and saw for the first time something other than confrontation in them. What it was he couldn’t quite place but it cooled his reply, “Thank you, I’ll be glad of the extra help.”

    Mrs. Jenkins, Jinx’s mother, opened the door to leave, shouting over her shoulder, “Mince ‘n tatties will be ready soon boys and there’s enough for all of you so just pop over when you’re done.”
    Grinning Cam shouted after her, “I’ll be there just as soon as I’ve had a scone or two!”
    Jinx followed his mother out with his dad behind, slapping him on the back and chatting a mile a minute. Cam felt a twinge of jealousy as he watched the closeness between father and son. His life would’ve been so different if he had that.
    Sighing he looked over to the twins and Mac, they came over, surrounding him and bombarding him with questions. “Where you been?”, “What trouble you been getting into?”, “Will that jet of yours get us to the US without crashing!” were just a few.
    Cam grinned, trying to answer them all as they made their way to the kitchen and his mother’s scones. “Mum, can you butter me up some of those? I need to call Marcus and let him know our flight plan.”
    “Sure, I’ll get you a nice cup of tea too.” Agnes busied herself getting plates out and the kettle on, “Boys, sit down, there’s plenty for everyone.”
    The twins and Cormac were sitting down at the large wooden table with smiles and comments, “It’s been ages since I had one of your scones, Mrs. Sinclair!” Cormac beamed as he took his seat.
    “Och, Cormac, you know just to come and ask if you’re wanting anything.”
    Cormac blushed. “I don’t like to bother you. I know you’ve got a lot on your plate being Alpha female, Mrs. Sinclair.”
    “I’m never too busy to bake or give you some of my scones. I’ll pack some of my baking up for you to take on your trip. It’s a long flight over there.”
    Rory punched the air exclaiming, “Yes! I’m not sure what Cam has on that jet of his but I’ll bet it’s nothing like your baking!”
    Agnes laughed, “I’ll make up some sandwiches too. You’re going to need all the nourishment you can get if there’s trouble over there.”
    “True, Mrs. Sinclair, but I’m sure we can sort it out,” Logan smirked. “After all, with Cam and Jinx there, well, they’ll know what’s best to do. If there’s trouble with another Pack, then they’ll soon see what us Highland Wolves can do.”
    “Be careful, boys,” Agnes frowned. “I don’t want any of you getting hurt.”
    “We know how to look after ourselves,” Rory said in a more serious tone. “Don’t worry ‘bout us.”
    “I know, Rory, but if Fearghas is worried then that worries me.” Agnes placed the scones on the table, the boys attacking them as if they hadn’t
