“How are the twins? I’m assuming they’re both marked and mated now?”

“Yes. That was….we had to figure out the logistics of it, but in the end, everyone was happy.

“Good,” I say as we approach the door. I knock, waiting for Leah to open it.

When we step in, Brooklyn is seated on the couch, a blanket over her legs.

I’ll give Alpha Dutton credit, he did everything he could to make his interview with Brooklyn easy. He sat in the chair farthest away from her, although I could tell he wanted to be closer. He kept his voice soft and gentle, even when asking her difficult questions. When she began to cry, he got a box of tissues and handed them to her, once against stretching to keep himself as far from her as possible before returning to his seat and giving her a few minutes to collect herself. He was patient with her, not rushing her, but getting the answers that he

needed.

When we left, Brooklyn looked exhausted, but she thanked him for coming and for supporting her at the committee meeting.

“That was well done, Alpha,” I say as we walk back.

I can feel the anger radiating off of him. “Do you have a gym or

someplace I can go punch something?” he asks.

“Yes, we have a gym. I can show you,” I tell him, then mind link Hunter.

‘What can I do for you, my love?‘ he answers.

‘Dutton needs to work off some anger,‘ I tell him.

‘Brooklyn?‘

‘Yes.‘

‘Where are you?‘

‘Headed to the gym.‘

‘I’ll meet you there.‘

When we arrive, I open the doors and Dutton turns, looking at me before walking in. “I always knew that Owen was a prick, but to do what he did to that sweet girl…”

He growls and turns to walk into the gym. I watch him a moment as he walks straight up to a punching bag and punches it so hard it bursts.

I turn and see Hunter jogging up.

“You’re late. You’d better hurry before he destroys all the punching bags,” I tell him. He looks past me into the gym as I hear another punching bag get smashed.

Hunter takes an extra moment to lean in a kiss me, before heading

inside. I leave them to it, knowing I need to make sure everything is ready for us to be gone for a couple of days again.

When I get to the office that Hunter set up for me, right next to his and with an adjoining door, I pull up my computer and see that Hunter has sent me the law about public claiming along with the edits that the other Alphas have provided. I look it over, thrilled that my mate has asked for my input.

I make my own tweaks to the document, clarifying that we’re not against Alphas or ranked members marking and mating others that aren’t ranked members. We just don’t believe that it should be public and that the new law should be instituted across all packs, not left up to the individual Alphas or packs to decide how they want their ranked members claimed.

Thinking of Brooklyn, I also add that ranked members may not mark a she–wolf, then decide that they don’t want them. If they mark them, they must take them as their mate.

There’s a knock at my door and I look up to see a sleepy Nikki smiling

at me.

“Nice mate mark,” I say.

Her hand flies to her neck, and she blushes as she smiles. “It’s already everything you told me it would be,” she says.

“It only gets better. Did you need something?” I ask.

“I was actually going to see if you needed anything. Robin is doing some work and I feel sort of useless,” she says.

“Actually, I’m glad you’re here. Come look this over with me,” I tell her.

I print out the document that we’re editing and hand it to her to read. As she goes through the document, she looks up at me. “Is this you, saying that if they mark a woman, they have to take her as a mate?” she asks, sitting down.

“Yes. What do you think. I’m hoping it makes them think twice in doing things like what they did to Brooklyn.”

“That’s true, but what about women who refuse to become their mates? If they force their mark on them, we’re then forcing the women to become their mates.”

“Ugh, I wasn’t even thinking about that,” I say.

“We should call Allison, see if she has any other ideas. I’m pretty sure she’ll be there as well. She should know that this is on the table if Alpha Kayce hasn’t already told her.”
