My omega turns an accusatory look at me. “Asher said there weren’t any animals on the property other than the horses!” I can’t help but grin, shrugging. “But you love animals.” Understanding lights her crystal irises. “So you—you brought these ducks here? As like…” “Your gift.” I nod. “I found a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center and offered our grounds for healed animals in need of a new home. This morning, they brought a couple of duck families they had saved from a polluted pond. A hawk with only one eye. A few owls. And a bunch of squirrels.”
