They knew he was coming. They knew his mate was here, and their son—or they would, soon enough.

They would rush him, he realized, and he had to stifle a shudder.

Among the Chimeran wolves, greetings after a long absence were… enthusiastic. The males would approach first to test his scent and share theirs. He would be wrestled and pressed and touched and buried under a pack.

His entire body went rigid and his breath got short.
