Chapter 361
“Do we have enough warriors to double patrols while we’re gone? I don’t want any of them sneaking in while we’re not here,” I tell him.
“I don’t know that we can double them full time, Alpha. I know we’re only going to be gone a couple of days, but we have a large number of warriors who are competing,” he says.
“You’re still competing, right?” I ask him.
“Yeah. I love being your Beta, but…”
“I know. This opportunity is too good to pass up. Just remember, if it’s not this pack, there are several others,” I tell him.
“Yeah, but this one is the closest to this pack. That’s one of the biggest reasons I’m interested. I’m not saying I won’t be going for the other packs. I will. But I’d prefer to remain close and know that I have a strong alliance with my closest pack and former Alpha.”
“I never said I’d create an alliance with you,” I tease as Nikki walks up.
“Don’t worry, Reese. When you win your pack, I’ll create an alliance with you. My alliance will be stronger than Robin’s anyway,” she says sassily, smiling at me.
I have loved this woman’s fire and her smart mouth from the moment I met her. I know the mate bond has a lot to do with that, but she’s so fucking perfect. She’s everything that I ever wanted in a mate and so

much more. She pushes me, taunts me, teases me, challenges me, and in the end, makes me a better man and a better Alpha. She brings that passion and that fire into our bedroom every night and the fact that she’s carrying my pup, and the future Alpha heir to our pack, only makes me love her that much more.
“How is it that your alliance will be stronger than mine?” I ask, pulling her against me.
“After I write up the law about females being able to become Alphas, I‘ m going to write one up about Lunas being able to create alliances.”
“Baby, your name is already on all of our alliances,” I say to her.
“Yes, but YOUR name is the one that counts. Mine is only secondary. When I’m done writing the new law, my name, or any Luna’s name, will hold as much weight as yours or any Alpha’s. When I’m done, women and men will be absolute equals in all things.”
“Then, by your own logic, your alliance with Reese wouldn’t be any stronger than mine with him. It would be exactly the same,” I say to her, watching as her mouth opens and closes a couple of times before she finally closes it and frowns.
The best part of my day is bantering with my mate. It’s even better when I get the upper hand in our banter, like now.
“It’s okay, baby. I’m sure your alliance with Reese will be fine,” I tease her, smiling broadly when I get the angry glare I was expecting. As expected, she smacks me on the arm like she usually does when I win an argument, or she’s irritated about something that has to do with me. She never hits me hard and even if she did, I wouldn’t mind. I know it‘

s just her way of showing her frustration when I win an argument. Being the Alpha female she is, she enjoys winning as much as I do.
“I’d be happy to enter an alliance with you, Luna,” Reese says, placating Nikki. /
