they go to this school, opened the tunnel, installed additional security equipment and assigned full-time security staff after scanning each person who worked in the place. But you never dealt with the issue of them interacting with other children and developing friendships.”
    “David made new friends?” She heard the skepticism in his voice.
    “No. According to Jackie, he’s in watch-everybody-mode, which is who he is. Adam is the complete opposite and has made several friends who he sits with in class.”
    Silas stiffened. “He’s not with David?”
    “No. David sits with Jackie and Sarita sometimes. Jackie made a new best friend, Maggie.” She tried to remember the names Jackie and Renee told her earlier. “Renee has two best friends, Bonita and Freda.”
    “What happened to Sarita? They aren’t best friends?”
    Jasmine snuggled closer. “Apparently you can have several best friends. Sounds like David and Sarita are the loners in the group.”
    “Hmm, I thought being around others would help, maybe it wasn’t the best idea.”
    “It’s done; we need to plan how to deal with the change. You can’t isolate them after releasing them into the mainstream.” She repeated the speech she gave the school staff the other day, and repeated how the parents lined up to see her, and explained how nice it was to see Alpha’s pups in their school.
    “When it comes to the safety of my pups I don’t care what they think,” he snapped. “Maybe we should hire tutors, turn the nursery into a classroom. That way –”
    “What? They don’t make friends? Don’t receive invitations to social activities or play sports?”
    “They can still have friends, Cameron has a house full, and there are children who live in the compound –”
    “And all attend the school.” Jasmine wanted to smack him for opening this door, but he’d refused to listen to her objections and now refused to deal with the fallout.
    After a few minutes of silence he released a long sigh. “What do you suggest?”
    Realizing what it cost him to ask, she kept her responses brief and to the point. “I agree, it’s too early to accept invitations from anyone. The novelty of sitting and playing with La Patron’s kids is fresh. In time it’ll wear off and we’ll see who survives the cut. The kids are smart and won’t put up with foolishness, they didn’t in the nursery and won’t at school. When they come home, the six of us sit, have a snack and talk about their day. I’ll use that time to remind them of what’s at stake, your, I mean our position in the pack, and how careful we need to be in allowing strangers into the compound.”
    He placed a kiss on her forehead. “Sounds good. What happens when the dust settles? I cannot agree to them sleeping somewhere overnight, maybe when they’re older, high school?”
    She rubbed his chest. “Okay, I’ll tell them, it’ll give them something to grow towards. Plus, by then they’ll be shifting, right?”
    “Yes, should be.” He paused and turned on his side, facing her. “Let’s make this rule, no overnights until they can shift and know how to fight with their wolf? If they’re shifting, they’ll be able to communicate mentally as well. I feel a lot more comfortable with that.”
    Her fingertip traced his lips while their gazes locked. “What about parties during the day? We can have security in place.”
    His eyes bled from bluish-green mix to cerulean blue. “How does that protect them against chemicals absorbed through their skin?”
    “Teach them to wash their hands constantly with the special cleanser Hawke made, plus they already eat the root to build up their resistance to certain poisons, we all have.”
    “What do you want from me? I cannot allow them the type of freedom you’re suggesting, if they are taken and held hostage, I would give away everything for their safe return. That puts the whole Nation at risk. Don’t you see that?”
    She did, which pissed her off more.
