“Lucas and Kinsley?” he asks excitedly.
I nod and he lifts his head, howling almost as excitedly as he did when he found out about our pup earlier today.
Hunter
We had quite the celebration the night I found out that my mate is carrying my son. Between that, and then finding out that Lucas and Kinsley were also expecting, the pack was beyond excited. Their happiness was palpable and both Robin and Dutton commented on it.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever felt this level of happiness in a pack, not mine, certainly,” Dutton said, watching the festivities and smiling when one of the twins comes over to hug him or wants to be held by him for a moment. I can see that he’s letting them i moment. I can see that he’s letting them initiate the interactions, but he readily agrees to every bit of attention, lavishing them with love each time they approach him. Tammi, especially, seems to thrive on his affection. Tiffany seems a bit more standoffish, but she still seeks him out frequently.
Nikki and Robin are a whole other level. The sexual tension between
them is as heavy in the air as my pack’s excitement.
“Do
you think it’s because your ranked members are so happy?” Robin asks, participating in the conversation but his eyes never leave his mate. She’s talking and laughing with Sophie and Kinsley, but her eyes continue to track back to Robin frequently.

“Maybe, or maybe it’s just Sophie. I’d like to think it’s all of us, but the feeling of the pack changed when I brought her home. Well, that and I got rid of the ones who weren’t in agreement with abolishing the public claimings. She’s made everything different, better.”
“Speaking of public claimings, I heard that the girl Owen claimed then discarded is here now, right?” Dutton asks, tearing his gaze away from his mates to look at me.
“Brooklyn, yeah she’s here. She and her mother were finally released from the hospital. Her mom, Leah, rejected her mate for not protecting their pup, so she’s also been healing. I’ve put them in a house outside the pack because Brooklyn can’t take loud noises and crowds right now, it’s too triggering for her.”

“She’s an omega?” Robin asks, also directing his attention to me.
“Yeah,” I growl, knowing they’ll understand the damage that an Alpha did to a young omega in that type of situation.
“What an asshole. I’d like to talk to her while I’m here, if that’s possible. I’ll be careful with her,” Dutton says, turning back to his mates. “Aiden’s the one who chased my girls onto your pack lands, right?”
“That was him. He’s also the one who was hunting Sophie when she ran home. I wasn’t kidding when I said that any one of them could have captured our mates. Can you imagine if he’d have caught the twins?”
Dutton’s possessive growl is not unexpected. I felt the same way when I heard Aiden had hunted Sophie. Several people look up, but it’s the

twins who look concerned. Dutton sets his drink down and opens is arms. I smile as both mates come over, wrapping themselves in his embrace.
“What is it?” Tiffany asks.
“I was confirming with Alpha Hunter that it was that asshole Aiden who chased you onto his pack lands,” he tells her, and I see Tammi shiver in his arms. He kisses Tiffany’s forehead while pulling Tammi closer, then kissing the top of her head. Both women relax in his embrace and I smile, looking up to see my mate watching. When her eyes meet mine, I wink at her.
‘Did we decide who won our bet this morning?‘ I ask her in the mind link, watching a soft blush spread across her cheeks. Then her chin goes up just a little.
‘I did, but I was intending to defer to my mate, hoping he’ll teach me some new positions tonight,‘ she says, and now it’s my turn to growl possessively, although much less aggressively than Dutton.
“Is all this growling an Alpha thing, or a male thing?” Nikki asks, walking up and eyeing her mate seductively.
“Both,” all three of us say at once.
“Hmm, and what is all this grumbling about?” she asks.
“Who chased you? When you were on the run, who hunted you?” Robin asks her, tugging her against his side when she doesn’t immediately lean against him.

“I’m much too fast to be caught by one of those assholes,” Nikki says with all the arrogance of a true Alpha.
Robin just smiles at her. “I’ll bet you couldn’t get away from me.”
“What’s the bet?” she asks, and I snort, going to find my own mate.
