“And you think I should let him.”

“I think you should, yes. You should see if there’s any potential for you to have the father of your baby in your life, because I think both of you deserve that.”

“I want to trust him,” I say.

“You have feelings for him, don’t you?”

“I do,” I admit. “I’ve been trying to resist, but I don’t think I can do that anymore. I can’t keep lying to myself.”

“And you shouldn’t,” she says. “Let yourself feel what you feel. He cares about you. Let yourself love him back, if you can.”

“Wherearewegoing?”I ask Brandon as we walk across the far side of Greystone.

“It’s a surprise,” he says. “There are some things you might not know about the Greystone Pack.”

“I did grow up here, you know,” I remind him. What does he think he’s going to show me that I won’t already know about?

“I’m aware,” he says. “But that doesn’t mean you know everything. Some stuff has changed since you were growing up here. Some of it for the better.”

“Really?” I have to admit, I’m curious.

“This building, for example.” He waves a hand at it. “Wasn’t here when you left.”

“No, it wasn’t.” I frown, thinking back. “Was it here two years ago, when I came to visit?”

“Yes, but I don’t blame you for not noticing. It’s pretty far from the center of the pack territory.”

“What happens here? What’s it for?”

“Meetings,” Brandon says. “Anyone who wants to can reserve it.” He points to a clipboard. “This is where they sign up, see?”

I look at the sign-up sheet. “What’s happening in there now?”

“Well, that’s why I brought you here,” he says. “There’s a wolf women’s group in there.”

“What’s a wolf women’s group?” I’ve never heard of such a thing.

“Oh, they get together and talk about their issues,” he says. “It’s a place where the women of the pack can deal with complaints about the men and about pack management without having to worry about being talked over.”

“Can we go in?” I ask.

“You can.”

“You don’t want to?” Was he put off by the idea of a group of women?

“It isn’t that,” Brandon says. “I’m not allowed. Women only. No men can come inside while they’re meeting. If we did, it would ruin it.”

“Was that your idea too?”

“Well, no, they came up with that policy themselves. But it’s a pretty good one, don’t you think?”

“I do.”

“Do you want to check it out?”
