Kael turned toward the window, watching the orange hue of sunset spill across the Wilds. "It's getting late, but there's still something we haven't done yet."
"The Celebrations!!!" Kiona and Rias shouted in unison, eyes lighting up like stars.

"We'll go take a bath quickly!" she said with a wide grin.

[I'm relieved to see you're fine, Master. But... your soul feels very different.]
Kael smiled at the familiar feminine voice echoing in his mind. "Hello there, my dear Alpha. It's good to have you back."
[Likewise, Master.]
"So, what did you detect in my soul?" Kael whispered to himself.
