“Liam?” I ask curiously.
Finn takes my hand in his and kisses it. “My oldest brother,” he explains. “He is Annie’s mate and the alpha of Red Claw.”
“Marius is doing well too,” Celine says, and there is a flash of joy in her eyes. “He has tons of plans. During the last luna meeting, they made further plans for this refugee center for abused children and she-wolves. This project is important to him, and he is working really hard for it.”
Before I can even ask, Finn smiles at me. “My second oldest brother,” he explains.
I nod in awe. I can’t wait to meet all of Finn’s brothers.
“You haven’t even met everyone yet,” Aurelia chuckles as if she can read my thoughts. “The twins are on a school trip right now and will be back next week.”
“Alright, enough chit-chat. Let’s get going.” Annie beams. “I haven’t had a girl’s day out in forever.” Before we can go, a young woman approaches us, and Annie introduces her as her beta and one of her best friends, Ella. She looks so strong and confident. She reminds me a bit of Trixie, just in adult size.
Thinking about Trixie I suddenly wonder where she went.
Ella seems to be a very close friend to both Finn and Celine too. Celine only had a warrior accompany her, who will follow us at a safe distance.
“Ready?” Annie asks us.
I chuckle. “As ready as we can be.”

A Day With the Girls
*FREYA*
Muchtomyrelief,both Annie and Celine don’t want to go to a mall, so Nox drives us to the city center, where there are a couple of shops both of them like. “Malls are always so crowded,” Annie says. She sits in the front passenger seat. Aurelia offered it to her when we took off.
“I agree.” Celine nods. “Besides the better quality shops are in town. And they have some nice restaurants in that area.”
“Oh, we haven’t had sushi in forever,” Ella agrees.
These three seem to know each other really well. I listened to them for a while, glad they decided to take us to a less crowded place.
“And you?” I ask Aurelia. “How do you like to shop?”
She chuckles. “I’m more for online shopping. I just joined today because you are going.”
I laugh, feeling like I could get along well with her.
“Don’t get me wrong.” Annie turns to look at us. “I’m not too fond of shopping either.” she smiles. “Unlike a certain blonde in our group.”
“I can’t even deny it.” Celine chuckles.
“I’m with Annie,” Ella agrees. “Shopping is more Celine’s thing and Dave’s.”
“Who is this Dave everyone talks about?” I ask curiously.
Annie laughs. “He is one of our best friends. Ella, Dave, and I went to school together.”
“We are the OG,” Ella grins. “The Original Gang. Then we opened up for applications.”
“That’s one way to put it.” Celine smiles. “It was a crucial moment in my life when I joined your little group.”
“And we love that you joined us,” Ella reassures her.
“And how did you meet Finn?”
