"You've left out a very important part of your story," André said gently.
"I've left out more than one," Phoenix sighed, "But which one are you wanting?"
"Your uncle's name?"
"Oh, that part."
"Yes, that part."
"Erik Faro."
There was a long silence as the Belcourts took that in.
Yvonne pulled Lorenzo closer. Celeste gasped. Luc growled. And André tightened his arms around Phoenix, pulling her even closer. "I don't care," he assured her.
"Well I do," Phoenix told him, "I hate that I'm related to that mongrel."
"Isn't Faro the last name of the Alpha of the Lunar Craters?" Celeste asked.
Phoenix nodded.
"Oh," she thought about it. "Cool. No new enemies to take down then. That mutt is already on our list."
André smiled gratefully at Celeste as Phoenix relaxed in his arms with a soft laugh. "So he is," she whispered. She closed her eyes and rested her cheek against André's chest.
