Chapter 277
“You won’t. You’re not the same person you were before. Sophie, but you were never the type of person who would let someone else suffer Look at Penny and how you carried her after she was injured. She’s a testament to that. You and Hedda both knew you couldn’t help Jocelyn. Stop beating yourself up over it.”
I relax as Hunter begins to move much more slowly in and out of me. It almost feels like his mind is massaging mine, taking away the aching memories that I’ve been holding on to. This time, our love- making is slow and deep, connecting us in the way that I love. I turn my head and kiss my mate, holding on to him as he swallows my moans and whimpers and finally my gasp of pleasure as we both find our release together.
I feel better, stronger as we leave the shower. “I think I prefer you waking me up in bed,” I say, as my leg muscles twinge from the effort of remaining upright through multiple orgasms.
“Let that be a lesson to you, my love. Never deny me my mate in the morning,” he says, kissing me deeply again. I feel his mind filtering through mine. I know he’s worried about me and wanting to make sure that I’m okay. It doesn’t feel like an invasion of my privacy. With Hunter, I share everything, and he likes making sure that I’m always okay. I relax and open my mind, knowing that Hunter also needs to be focused when Zahn and Jocelyn arrive today.
“Much better,” he says when he pulls away.

“Thank you.” I say, caressing his cheek
“Anytime.” he says: kissing my nose before we get ready and head downstairs.

Several hours later, we get the announcement that Alpha Zahn and Luna Jocelyn have arrived on our pack lands.
“They’re here.” I say to Nikki and Allison. We head to the front door to greet them, meeting up with our mates, Kinsley, and Lucas as we go.
Hunter and I stand up front. He takes my hand as I feel the nerves starting again. The others stand behind us, providing a unified front. I‘ m not sure who the unified front is for, Zahn or Jocelyn.
When they pull up, I see Jocelyn in the front seat. Her eyes assess the group of us that have come out to welcome them.
Alpha Zahn gets out of the car first. “Alpha Hunter, Luna Sophie,” he greets before walking around the car.
“Alpha Zahn, welcome to our pack,” Hunter says as Jocelyn opens the door on her side. When Zahn extends a hand to help her. She snarls at him. His teeth snap shut, and his lips press tightly together as he steps back lowering his hand.
I was right about Jocelyn. I’m not sure why she felt the need to stand up out of the car, especially without assistance, but she’s very unsteady on her feet, her body obviously misshapen even under the blousy dress she’s wearing.

Chapter 277
“Luna Jocelyn, welcome to our pack.” I say, hoping to start things on a positive note.
Instead of responding, she looks me over, her eyes lingering on my protruding stomach, her lip curling in disgust
“Some legend you are.” she finally growls, disappointment and disgust obvious in her tone.
Hunter snarls at her, stepping in front of mer “Listen up, Jocelyn.” he growls, intentionally being disrespectful by not using her title. I grab his arm to keep him from going to get in her face. I can feel the heat of his anger flowing through our bond.
“You are ONLY here because my mate wants you here. I would have told both of you to shove it and figure out your mate bond on your own. You’re not my problem and you obviously don’t want my help. But I will not allow you to come into my pack and disrespect my mate. You know nothing about her. Whatever anger you have towards your mate, or the Moon Goddess, or anyone else, will NOT be directed at my mate. If you cannot abide by that rule, you can leave now.
