Axel did not stand on ceremony. Instead, he immediately moved forward and hugged Jonas.
Jonas chuckled and hugged the young Alpha, patting his pat.
“Now, don’t get all emotional. We still got a war to win.”
Axel pulled back and clenched his jaw as he looked at Jonas with gratitude.
“Thank you,” he said.
“I aint do nothing special, pup,” Jonas replied. “All I did was return to you the men you sent to help me defend my home first.”
Jonas grabbed Axel’s shoulder, holding his gaze.
“I told you that you were spreading yourself too thin, boy. But you insisted on trying to save everyone.”
Axel smiled.
“I have a hard time accepting an answer I don’t agree with.”
“You are like your daddy in that way,” Jonas smiled.
“You should meet my sister,” Axel laughed.
“I’ve heard,” Jonas smiled. “Good match for Summer. The two of em can sort each other.”
Axel nodded.
Richard cleared his throat as he approached. Both Alphas turned to him.
