“And he’s with you?”
Austin shook his head, looking out at the grounds. “Yes. I can hardly believe it myself. He’s going to smooth things out with his former pack before he declares himself. He wants to help. He’s in it for the same reasons you tried to start this thing. For the reasons I am doing this. He’s legit.”
Kingsley swore. “That is great for the cause, and I am also unreasonably jealous.”
Austin laughed quietly, hearing the respect and teasing in his brother’s voice. “Don’t be. It wasn’t me that swayed him. It was Jess and her crew. He wants to be slotted within her team.”
He told his brother the particulars.
“That’s a good idea,” Kingsley affirmed. “Maybe he’ll bring a little order to that motley crew.”
“I’m not taking bets on it.” Austin grinned.
“Well, it’ll at least give her clout in the shifter world. That’s what she sorely needs. It’s really the best place he could’ve gone.”
“That’s what I was thinking. After I’d fallen over myself accepting his help, obviously.”
“Obviously,” Kingsley said, and laughed.
“Also—and I won’t announce this yet either—I’m going to put on an Alpha Conclave. That’s where he’s going to announce himself and that his sisters are joining the convocation.”
Austin laid out his plan, summarizing most of it. When he was done, the pause was longer this time.
“No,” Kingsley said. “That’s too far, Austin. Don’t let having Golden Fang join your crew go to your head. With that much power amassed, a conclave is suicide.”
“I decided before him, and it’s happening. Clear your schedule, because you’re going to help us plan it.”
Kingsley let out a string of curses, a prayer, and then acceptance. Austin’s brother would always be there for him.
And now they had a secret weapon, but it wasn’t Golden Fang. These shifters liked to show off? Then Austin would make sure their efforts paled in comparison to the wonder that was Ivy House and its mistress.
