“That’s different.”

“We do things differently around here,” I say.

“I’m starting to realize that,” she says as we walk up to the packhouse. I take her through a side door, since I can’t get her up the stairs in the front and then go in search of my mate.

He must sense me searching for him because he comes looking for me, a big smile on his face. Then he looks at Jocelyn.

“Luna Jocelyn, I have your bags here. Have you want to stay?”

“Yes, Alpha. Luna Sophie offered me a place at the survivor center.

“I’ll have your things sent over there.”

“She wants to speak to Alpha Zahn first, Hunter,” I tell him.

“Did you want to use your office, Soph?” he asks me.

“That’s what I was thinking. It would give them some privacy.”

“I’ll have Brutus bring him down,” he says, leaning over to kiss me. When he pulls back, he smiles at me, stroking my cheek.

him, feeling his desire to touch my stomach.

“Yes,” he says, smiling back.

I chuckle. “After I get Jocelyn settled, I’ll come sit in your lap so you and our son can play.”

“Perfect,” he growls low and possessively, making my body shiver. He kisses me again, before stepping aside.

I push Jocelyn towards my office. “You really do love him, don’t you?” she asks me.

“With every ounce of my being.” I say without hesitation. “He’s the most incredible man I’ve ever met. I know this may not make sense to you, but I’m proud to be Hunter’s mate.”

“I don’t understand it, you’re right, but I’d have to be blind not to see the love between you two. He obviously adores you.”

I smile. “Yes, he does. Now where would you like to sit? Do you want to stay in the wheelchair or move to a chair?”

J

“I’ll stay in the wheelchair. I don’t intend to take too long. But…uh, would stay with me while I tell him?”

“If that’s what you want.”

“It is. You seem determined to let me make my own decisions and I’m pretty sure he’s determined that I’ll do what he wants me to do.”

“I’m happy to stay. He doesn’t get to make decisions for you in this

She nods, looking like she’s starting to believe me about being in charge of her decisions.

“Where are your friends?” she asks.

I smile. “They’re testing out our new Gamma male. He was someone I met when I was on the run, a lone wolf. His father was a Lead Warrior and apparently a very good one. He’s a natural leader and both Robin and Kayce wanted to test how good he is. Nikki and Allison never miss a chance to tease their mates or cheer them on. I think this time they’ll be teasing them. Jaime really is that good.”

“Gamma male? Isn’t he just the Gamma?”

“No. Our Gamma is his mate, Penny

She stares at me in astonishment. “Your Gamma is a female?”

“Yes.”

“And your sister is an Alpha?”

“Yes.”

She frowns again. “Who are you people?”

I shrug. “I’m just Sophie Reynolds. Hunter says I’ve always been stronger than I realized. I say I’m stronger because I’m mated to him, and he gives me the foundation to be strong. Maybe it’s both. Maybe we’re an example of what a good mate bond can look like. I know that

both Robin and Nikki and Kayce and Allison are striving to create something similar in their packs to what we have in ours. But Hunter stood for me, stood to make the changes that we desperately needed in our society, and because of that, our relationship and our pack continues to strengthen.”

“Not everyone agrees with those changes,” she says.

“No, they don’t, but all we can do is continue to push change forward and hopefully, in our pup’s generation, things will be different.”

Sophie

There’s a knock at the door and I look up to see Brutus. He steps aside and Zahn rushes in, crouching in front of her.

“Jocelyn. Are you alright? What did the doctor say?”

“Alpha Zahn, why don’t you have a seat,” I say, knowing that Jocelyn is already tired, and he blew into the room like a tornado.

He stands and turns to me. “Do you mind giving us some privacy?”

“I’ve been asked to stay, so I’ll be staying. Why don’t you have a seat, Alpha?” I suggest again.
