The evening of Kirk's birthday celebration brought unexpected arrivals that made Kimi's stomach twist with unease.
Her parents had traveled from their distant territory, accompanied by Kolton's family. The sight of them stepping onto pack grounds filled Kimi with a mixture of joy and dread she couldn't quite explain.
"I never imagined you would come all this way," Kimi whispered as her mother Christine wrapped her in a warm embrace.
Christine's eyes sparkled with genuine affection as she pulled back to study her daughter's face. "Alpha Kirk personally requested our presence. He made it clear that we were honored guests at this celebration."
Gamma Felix nodded with approval, his weathered hands clasping Kimi's shoulders. "The young Alpha is preparing to officially claim you as his mate. It's about time he made his intentions clear."
