“Thank you. Penny. I’ll go check on Jocelyn, let her know that we’re home.”

“I’m sure she knows, Luna,” Penny says smiling.

As we walk inside the pack greets us, welcoming us home again. It takes a moment before I see him and when I do, I can see that the pack hasn’t gone easy on him.

“I see you didn’t heed my warnings, Alpha Zahn,” Hunter says. Zahn is covered in bruises, his split lip is still healing, and he looks like he reinjured his ribs again based on the way he’s sitting, his arm around his midsection.

“Your pack attacked me!” he growls. It would probably sound more menacing if he didn’t cough at the end of it, making him flinch in pain.

“And why is that, Alpha Zahn?” Jaime asks him. He’s standing in what I would call parade rest. His legs are wide, his hands are behind his back, but he’s clenching and unclenching his fists as if he’s ready for

whatever comes at him.

“I just wanted to check on my mate!” he growls again, this time much more softly.

“I’m guessing she didn’t want to see you, Alpha Zahn,” Hunter says.

“You would be correct, Alpha,” Penny says.

I’d feel sorry for Zahn, but he’s bringing all of this onto himself. I guess he truly didn’t believe that our pack would protect Jocelyn.

I send a wave of pride through the pack bond, letting my pack members know how proud I am that they protected someone that I left in their care. I see Hunter glance at me out of the corner of his eye. smiling at my response. But what is most impressive to me is how, almost as one, every pack member in the room stands a bit straighter, a bit taller, with my praise.

It feels like the pack is about to burst from their pleasure at Sophie’s love and pride. The woman certainly knows how to draw loyalty and love from others. And it’s more than just loyalty, it’s absolute devotion. It almost seems like the more she loves the pack, the more they adore her and want to make her happy, which makes her love them even more and the whole cycle just continues to interweave the bonds of the pack, making all of us stronger.

Because of that, any sour apple stands out like a sore thumb. Currently, Alpha Zahn is our sour apple.

I turn and pull Sophie in to kiss the side of her head, taking the opportunity to slide my hand over her belly to say hi to my pup. “Go check on Jocelyn. I know you won’t be able to rest until you do. I’ll speak to Alpha Zahn,” I tell her.

She turns, lifting up on her toes and cupping my cheek as she kisses me. She hasn’t closed the link to the pack, so they all feel her love and

adoration for me. Whether she meant for it to happen or not, the pack’s response is instant, feeling safe and secure in the knowledge that their Luna loves the Alpha I open my mind to them too, pouring my love for Sophie through the bond. I’ve never been so open with the pack about how I feel about Sophie, but I feel their response instantly, Calm and peace spreads through the pack, knowing that their Luna, the woman they adore, is loved so deeply by her mate.

“I’ll see you soon,” she says when she pulls away.

“Yes.” I say and watch as she walks away, taking Kinsley and Penny with her.

When they walk out, I turn to Zahn. I don’t miss the blatant jealousy on his face.

“Alpha Zahn, come with me.”

“Alpha, do you want us to come too?” Brutus asks. I turn to see him and William flanking Zahn.

“Yes. If he says something stupid, I may need you to pull me off of him,” I say, before turning and walking to my office.

A moment later, Zahn walks in, my warriors stationing themselves by

the door.
