I look up at my mate. “You did?”

He laughs. “You sound like Nikki. Like you’re insulted that you missed out.”

“Well, I just…I thought him moving around would wake me up.”

“You were pretty tired, but I’ll never say no to playing with my pup,” he says.

“I think he’s sleeping now. He’s pretty quiet, but when he wakes up, I’m sure he’ll be happy to play with his daddy.”

When we get back to the packhouse, I get my things and go to Hunter’s office. He pulls me into his lap and rather than get work done, I lean against him, letting his steady heartbeat and breathing lull me to sleep.

‘Luna Sophie,’ I hear in my mind. I open my eyes, groggy with sleep.

‘Yes.’

‘Luna, it’s Dr. Caspian. I wanted to let you know that I’ve repaired Jocelyn’s hip and I’m moving to her thigh bone.’

Thank you, Dr. Caspian,” I say before the link closes.

“How long was 1 asleep,” I say, sitting up in Hunter’s lap and stretching.

“Several hours. I didn’t realize you were so tired, Soph.”

“It’s been a busy few days. Plus, our little man here is starting to get uncomfortable at night and having my face up against your throat helps me to sleep,” I say, reaching out to the warriors to relay Dr. Caspian’s message so they can tell Zahn.

‘Is he behaving?’ I ask them.

‘Yes Luna. He’s been pacing, but he seems a bit better with this news.’

‘You know to let Hunter and I know if he does anything?’

‘Of course, Luna. But we won’t allow him to disrupt Luna Jocelyn’s surgery.’

‘Thank you both,’ I tell them.

‘Any time, Luna.’

“Everything okay with Zahn?” he asks when I finish talking to the

warriors.

“Yes.”

“Good. And maybe we need to rethink how we sleep at night, Sophie. If laying on your side isn’t comfortable…”

“You can’t hold me in your arms all night, Hunter.”

“Want to bet? I’d be happy to hold you all night long, Sophie.”

I smile up at my mate. “How are your legs, Hunter?” I ask, knowing they must be numb from me sitting on them for so long.

“My legs are fine, Sophie. I’m worried about you. You need your rest and having Jocelyn here is stressful.”

“I’m fine, Hunter. And I think maybe things with Jocelyn will settle after this. I hope so, anyway. I know you’ll continue to deal with Zahn. He’s the biggest stress in all of this.”

“I’ve got Zahn covered. Are you going to spend some time with Allison and Nikki this afternoon?”

“Yes. I know they’re only here another day or so and Allison was going over to the Survivor’s Center today to look at where to start a garden and tell the others how to do it. I’d like to go see how it’s coming along.”

“Why don’t we go together. We can bring some food and have a picnic with our friends.”

“I love that idea,” I say, smiling up at my mate and feeling much more refreshed after my deep sleep.

“And I love you,” he says, kissing my nose.

We get some food, more than I was expecting Hunter to get,

and head over to the Survivor’s Center. When we get there, I see our friends have already cleared a large area for the garden.

“Wow! You did all this in one morning?” I ask, seeing the women who live here watching as several pups help Robin and Kayce dig up the area for the garden.

“We had some great helpers,” Nikki says, smiling at the pups who all seem to be excited to be around two Alphas and two Lunas. I can see that Robin and Kayce are guiding some of the older pups to help while Nikki and Allison are holding some of the younger ones in the shade and watching. Now Hunter’s large amount of food makes sense. He somehow knew that the moms and pups would be here.

“We brought food,” Hunter announces.

There’s a lot of excitement as I walk up to the freshly dug up garden area. “I can’t believe you’ve accomplished so much already,” I say as several pups rush up to me, wanting to show me what they did to help.

“You’ve got some great helpers here,” Robin says again, smiling at the pups that were working with him.

“You do. I’m thinking of recruiting some of these helpers to come to my pack now that Allison wants to expand our garden,” Kayce says, smiling down at the pups that are helping him. They all light up and I’m so thankful to my friends for helping to bring some happiness to these pups. They’ve had a hard time, losing a parent and living with a parent who is suffering through their
