kisses and made him want to taste them again, but he resisted the urge. “Thank you for the clothes. They fit.”
    “Good.” She looked him up and down, then quickly glanced at the others. “I have to say you all look like modern men now, except for the boots. Sorry I couldn’t get you any shoes. I didn’t even want to take a chance at guessing sizes.”
    He reached out and captured a lock of Cassidy’s hair. He loved the color of it, so different from his own. He’d never dreamed a person could have such a light shade, nor have eyes so glacier blue.
    Edensaw twirled the long lock around his finger. “Capac didn’t mean to upset you with his comment. He thought only to make a joke.”
    “I know. I’m not mad at him. It just took me by surprise that he’d heard us.”
    Edensaw knew full well his wolf brothers easily listened to everything he and Cassidy spoke. Though they talked not very loud and were a short distance away, he said mostly for their benefit, “None of my brothers will say anything like that again to cause you embarrassment. We are grateful for all you are doing for us. We also want to help you take down the camp.”
    Cassidy smiled. “Okay. I won’t turn down your offer. It’ll go much faster with the seven of us working together.”
    He released her hair as she stepped away. She then put them all to work. The tent turned out to be taken down a lot easier than Edensaw had thought it would. He was also amazed at how small a bag it fit into once it was folded and the poles where pulled apart. In no time, Cassidy’s car was packed with her things and they were sitting inside it. She at least didn’t have to help them with that for this trip, which she seemed glad about.
    Edensaw made sure he took the seat up front with Cassidy. He still found it a strange sensation to travel at such a fast speed. During his time, man only had his feet to get from one place to another. Watching the landscape go by, he was sure the trip to Cassidy’s home would have taken days if they’d had to walk it, especially having to carry everything she’d taken to the campsite. He looked back at his wolf brothers to see they were a little calmer about the ride as well.
    Eventually, Cassidy said, “We’re just coming to the outskirts of the city of Juneau.”
    Edensaw’s imaginings of what Juneau would be like weren’t even close to what it truly was. The wide-open spaces were filled in with what Cassidy called houses and other structures he had no names for. And there were so many of them. The people he saw were as varied as the structures around them.
    Cassidy slowed the car when she approached a tall building with many windows. She turned off the road and drove through a squared entrance that appeared to be made entirely out of smooth, white stone. Other cars were there as well, parked with no one inside them. Light was provided by tube-like strips that were above them. His mate brought the car to a stop once she positioned it between two yellow lines on the ground.
    Cassidy turned off the car and smiled at all of them. “All right, we’re here. This is where I live.”
    Edensaw looked around, not sure what to say. The tent was nicer than this wide open stone place. “This is your home? It does not look as if it would keep you warm in winter. And what of the people who own these other cars? Do they live in this large stone room with you?”
    His mate laughed. “I don’t live right here. This is the parking garage where I keep my car when I’m not using it. We have to go into the apartment building to get to my place. Let’s get everything out of the back and I’ll show you.”
    Cassidy loaded them down with the items from the campsite, then motioned for them to follow her. She led them to a large standing rectangle that was set into the stone wall. It was made out of what looked like metal, a substance Cassidy had explained when Edensaw had asked about the tent poles.
    “I’ll unlock the door, then hold
