I bark a laugh, pulling her more tightly against me. “I’m not arrogant.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“I’m confident that I’m not arrogant,” I say, smiling at her.
“What would you call it?”
I shrug. “Confidence, pride, assurance …” I say, smirking at her, just as Rory begins squirming in
my arms.
“Saved by the baby,” she says.
I slide my hand in her hair, tilting her head sideways and taking her mouth in a possessive,
dominant kiss. I kiss her until I feel her body lean against mine.
When I finally pull back, I growl low, wanting more.
“There’s my mate,” she purrs, holding my gaze until Rory’s cries become louder.
“Time to feed the Alpha,” she says.
“Mmmm,” I growl.
“Not you,” she says, taking Rory and pointing at me.
“Later then,” I say.
“Definitely later.”

I can feel my mate losing his grip on reality every time that Camden’s name is mentioned, especially when it comes to finding him and not having any idea where he is. I’m glad that group came up with the idea of searching for a place where he and Koden could be hiding rather than continuing to try and search for his scent.
When he kisses me, dominating my mouth in the way that is so familiar, I feel like my work is done. I know it won’t be the last time that he’ll need a reminder, just like I know that I’ll still wake up with nightmares in the middle of the night, but as long as the seed is planted and we have

more stronger days than weak. I’ll know that Camden didn’t win. And that asshole doesn’t get to
After I nurse Rory, we head back downstairs. By the time we get there, lunch has been served and
most everyone has returned
When everyone is back. Kayce stands, holding Brianna in his arms. I realize that all of the mates are doing that. Our mates aren’t just greedy for us, their Lunas, they are also greedy to spend time with their pups. It makes my heart soar to be part of a group of people who love their mates and pups so much.
Robin, obviously feeling the emotions inside me, looks over at me. I lean toward him, kissing him while he holds Rory in his arms.
‘I love you,’ I say in the mind link.
‘I love you too. What did I do?’
‘You’re a great father, just like I knew you would be. And so are our friends. It makes me proud to be part of this group.’
He leans forward and kisses me again. Kayce clears his throat loudly.
“If I could have EVERYONE’S attention. Robin, I’m talking to you,” he says, giving Robin a look.
“Fine, but I won’t apologize for loving my mate.”
“I think we should move into Dutton’s plan to get this Alpha female out of her pack, wherever that may be,” he says.
We all turn our attention to Dutton, Tiffany, and Tammi. Dutton kisses the side of Tammi’s head and then turns to Tiffany. “Do you want to start?”
She nods and looks at all of us. “I’m not sure what you know about what happened, but Alexandra, Alex as we call her, was supposed to run with me and Tam. When we knew we were caught, she sacrificed herself for us. I know we’re not Alphas, but as Betas, it didn’t and still doesn’t sit well with us that our Alpha female, our friend, is possibly stuck in some horrible mate bond, or if not, in some terrible situation with her family, while we’re here, with our loving mate, pregnant, and happy. We need to find her and Dutton has promised us that he will do everything in his power to bring her home.”
When she finishes, she looks at Dutton who takes her hand and squeezes it before looking at the
group.

“I’ve promised my mates, both of them, that I would get Alexandra out of whatever situation that she’s in. It doesn’t matter if she’s with her family or with her mate. I need to get her away, if that’s what she wants.” he says, looking at both Tammi and Tiffany. “I won’t force her. She gets to make that decision and have that control of her life, like she should.” It sounds like they’ve had this conversation multiple times and he’s reiterating to his mates, rather than us, that he won’t drag Alex out against her will. I agree with his decision. I know if I was somewhere and didn’t want to leave. I would have never trust someone who forced me out of that situation.
“Nikki, do you have any legal insights for us?” Hunter asks.
