Chapter Seventy–Five
Elve hours later, we were walking out with glant grins. Thank you for coming in so early for us.” I kissed MJ and Nell as we left
“It was our pleasure.” MJ called out as he shut the door, and locked It behind us.
“They aren’t staying open?” Cass looked back to the dark door.
“Nah. They are usually closed today. They just came in for us.” I hooked my arm in hers and we walked into the bustling mall. “Where to now?” I looked down.
“I wanted to get some new clothes. Now I want to get some even more. I need to show this off.” She stared down at her right arm. It was covered in a black and white version of the moon goddess with a full moon behind her, and wolves hidden in the forest around her wrist. It was gorgedts and Neil did an amazing job drawing it up on the spot.
1 nodded, and she stared down at the fresh ink. “How does it feel?”
“It stings.” She shook her arm and then smiled. “I didn’t realize what went into doing tattoos on wolves.”
I laughed. “They have a deal with my dad, and now me. My dad sends them claws every month so they can break them down into their needles.” Cass shivered as I chuckled “Alphas have a deal with the tattoo artists in their packs. It’s the only way to get them to stay without wolfsbane.”
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
“Pulling your claws out? Well yeah, but they grow back instantly. So the pain is fleeting. And this helps with pack morale. And the plus of getting your work by a skilled artist”
We walked into a store, and Cass looked me over. “You wont be able to find an outfit that shows off your tattoo.” I shook my head.
“It’s not about showing it off. I knew I needed this design, and my back was the biggest canvas to get it all in.” I smiled as I felt the tightness on my back
It’s perfect. Nix’s voice called back to me.
I love it. Megan’s voice followed.
“Why the two wolves?” Cass asked as we went through the clothes. “I know the first one is Nix. I saw you run but when you were shifted. But I don’t recognize the smaller brown wolf.”
“She is a part of my pack.” I smiled as the confusion flashed over her face, but I pulled an outfit for her to try on. This would be perfect to train in.” I pushed it into her hands and pointed to the change room.
Cass laughed and headed to try it on. “Fine.” We spent the next forty–five minutes speed shopping and didn’t leave until our arms were full of bags of clothes. Cass looked over at me as we rushed out of the mall. “I don’t want you to go.”
“Hey. I’ll be back. And if you are feeling down, just touch your paw print and know I’m touching mine.” I smiled as we hopped into the car and flew home.
We ran up the stairs and Cass helped me pack the new clothes. I would leave everything else here. I had to pull out a second suitcase from here to fit it all. We laughed as we stuffed the two cases full. “What else?” Cass turned to me as I ran to my desk. I grabbed my backpack and shoved all my electronics in.
“Just this stuff.” I had just finished zipping up my bag when there was a knock and my father walked in. He looked at my bags and then at me. “You ready pup?”

“Yeah.” He looked better than this morning. “Did you take a nap?” I got to my feet.
” on.” He shook his head as he left, and I made my way over to where Cass was with the two suitcases.
“It’s time.” I hugged her, and we both hissed. My back and her arm were still too sensitive, and we giggled. “I’m going to miss you.‘
“I’m going to miss you, too.”
“Don’t go making babies without telling me.” I poked her shoulder, and she laughed.
“I promise.” I watched her tear up. “Everything has changed.”
“Yeah. This summer was a wild ride. But it’s been good.” I smiled down at her and hugged her again. “You got a mate.”
“We both shifted.”
“Now we have tattoos.” I pulled away. “But there is one thing that hasn’t changed, Cass.”
“What’s that?” She wiped her face and flipped her hair over her shoulder.
“You are still my best friend.”
“You are still my best friend, too.” She tried to smile but I saw her lips trembling.
“Okay. Here we go.” I swung my backpack onto my arm and hissed at my stupidity. She grabbed my suitcases, and we left my room.
“I’ll get these to the door.” She stopped at the top of the stairs. “Bye Amy.”
“Bye Cass.” I walked into my father’s office as she headed down the stairs.
