I tried to brush the sneers off, it was all a big joke to them. They had no idea of

what had transpired or that their alpha was involved in trying to take me out. Briar

had told me about his visit. I sent him a text message simply explaining that her ex

came after me in order to get to her but the threat was dealt with. However, now I

had to recover from the wolfsbane. He never responded. That information hadn’t

leaked out to the pack. In fact the details were strangely quiet. The hope was that

he didn’t know we knew. For all anyone that guessed knew, I had been out on an

assignment; which was rare, but I had somehow returned to the pack in such a bad

state that I had been MIA for two weeks.

pulling my face down to hers. I kissed her deeply, having been starved for her all

day. One hand protectively resting on her lower belly. That’s when the door opened

and my eyes shot to it with a deep growl. The Chief had entered, jaw dropped at the

sight of us in such an intimate embrace. I growled again, spiking Briar’s arousal as

she kissed me needily; her lips never leaving mine.

“Shit, sorry Carter.” he said, a file in hand. That’s when Briar chose to break away

and acknowledge the man in the room. My wolf had surged possessively forward.

My mate’s wolf I could sense skimming the surface of her being enough that Chief

would surely notice. She was displaying herself on purpose. I should have realized

it by the outfit and make up she was wearing when she walked in that she meant

business coming in here tonight. She laced her fingers into my hair playing with it

absentmindedly as the chief gawked at us.

“Ehh Chief, meet Briar, my mate. Briar, meet chief,” I introduced them. The old

man’s jaw dropped.

“Uhh,” he stammered, before sniffing the air. “You’re one of us,” he said, eyes wide
