“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.

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?”

“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.”

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
