Free Fox Rematch (The Madison Wolves Book 10) by Robin Roseau

“This area belongs primarily to the enforcers,” Angel explained. “Which isn’t to say you can’t come down, but we wanted a place they would be comfortable. We let them design as a group what they wanted and how to decorate it.”
    I started to cry again, and got pulled into a three-way hug.
    Finally they pulled me upstairs. There was a loft over the living room with a place to sit and talk or read. Beside it was a large closet. “Those of us who will be here a lot may keep things here,” Angel explained. “We’ll put names on the space we’re claiming. Scarlett and I have claimed this space.” They had a section of built in dressers and an area for clothes to be hung up. I recognized Angel’s clothes from my house and more clothes I decided belonged to Scarlett.
    “There is a large garage with our outdoor gear,” she said. “The kayaks are there with the wet suits, fishing gear, etc. We bought more gear, too. It’s kind of full.”
    They pulled me out of the room. “When we’re here, this is my room and Scarlett’s,” Angel said. We stepped into a bedroom, and I recognized some of the decorations. “When we’re not here, it belongs to whomever needs it. That’s why are clothes are in the communal area, so you can have other guests, and they don’t think they’re taking someone’s personal space.”
    Elisabeth had a room the same way.
    There were two more bedrooms, not necessarily assigned to anyone in particular.
    Back in the hallway we encountered Elisabeth with Lara. We were pointed to the door at the end of the hall. “Go on,” Angel said. “You know what that is.”
    We stepped forward together and opened the doors.
    It wasn’t as big as our room at the compound, but it was beautiful, with a lovely view of the lake and another of the woods. The furniture was new, and there were two closets and a bathroom.
    Lara wasn’t saying anything, but she was clearly stunned. “You hate it,” I told her.
    “Oh god, no,” she said. “I can’t believe they did this. The entire pack did this. Those three organized it, you can see from their expressions. I don’t know how they did it behind our backs. But the entire pack helped. I recognize the architect they used, and the designer. I recognize some of the furniture. The entire pack did this, honey.”
    “I know.”
    Angel, Scarlett and Elisabeth gave us a moment then followed us in.
    “Yes,” Elisabeth said. “The entire pack did this.”
    “Whose closet is whose?” I asked.
    Angel looked confused, but Scarlett smiled. She stepped to one of the closets. “This one is the alpha’s.”
    She opened the door, and some of my clothes were there along with some of Lara’s.
    Angel smiled and walked to the other closet. “And this isn’t a closet.” She opened the door, and the room inside was equipped as a large nursery.
    I stepped forward, dragging Lara behind me. We stepped into the nursery. It was already well equipped with two cribs, a changing table, a place for a mother to sit and nurse her babies, and the other things a new mother might need.
    “Did you know?” I asked.
    “No,” said Elisabeth. “But it was only a matter of time.”
    We stepped back into our bedroom, and I pulled Lara to the view. She was still very quiet, and I didn’t understand. “What’s wrong?” I asked her. “You don’t like it, but now you don’t know what to do.”
    “No, honey,” she said. “I wanted to do this for you, but I couldn’t afford it without liquidating some of my businesses, and they’re how I pay for all the things an alpha has to pay for.”
    “Is that because you put the pack first, when you bought all that other land?”
    “Yes. I could have done this if I had neglected the pack, but we couldn’t have this place and not have pack lands too.”
    “So you took care of the pack, and the pack took care of us.”
    “Elisabeth sold her inheritance from father to make this happen.”
    I glanced over at her, and she was smiling,
