Now her cheeks turn a deep shade of red and I run my knuckles over her cheek, feeling the heat. “I love your passion, by the way. You should make sure it’s directed properly, though. Now, will you have breakfast with me? I’d like to talk to you about our next steps.”
“Yes,” she says, lifting up on her toes and kissing me softly. “Sorry for jumping to conclusions.”
“We both still have a lot to learn about the other. But I promise you, until you are carrying my pup, I would be thrilled for you to attend warrior training. As a matter of fact, I told your father’s
cas to have
warriors start training ours so we can learn the different techniques. Maybe you could stand in as trainer as well.”
“I’m a bit out of practice. I think I’d like to go through a couple of training classes first, see how much I remember and how out of practice I am before I begin training others,” she says, looking like she expects that she’ll be starting over. She won’t. She’s an Alpha and it will all come back quickly. She’s only been out of training for two years and if her father started her at ten, like most Alphas, she had six years before she stopped training.
“Let’s see how you do tomorrow. I’ll spar with you and see what you remember and how good your reflexes are. Deal?”
“Deal,” she says, going through the buffet and piling food on her plate. I’m glad to see she’s eating a decent amount of food. I’m hoping she’ll

put on some weight soon.
“How about we add a little wager to out sparring, to make it fun,” I say quietly.
She glances at me from the corner of her eye, but I see the tips of her mouth tip up.
“What kind of wager?” she asks, and I can tell she’s excited at the idea of a competition. She’s such an Alpha. I love it.
“How about the winner gets to pick our sexual positions that night,” I say in her ear. I feel her body shiver with my words, or maybe it’s my breath against her ear, I’m not sure but her mouth spreads into a very satisfied smile.
“All of them?” she asks, knowing we’ll be having sex more than once each night.
“Absolutely.”
“You’re on, Alpha,” she says.
Pleased, I finish gathering my own food and the two of us head to a table where Kinsley and Lucas are eating. I notice they are talking quietly, and Kinsley is blushing similarly to how Sophie was blushing a few moments ago.
“Mind if we join you?” I ask. Sophie had already put her tray down but stops and looks form them to me.
“Oh, did you want some privacy?” she asks.

“No, no, we were just…talking,” Kinsley says, blushing a deeper shade
of red.
“Based on the color of your cheeks, I’d say your mate was talking to you about the same things that mine was talking to me about,” Sophie says, smiling at Kinsley before smirking up at me.
I just shake my head and sit down.
I look at Kinsley. “Are we good after yesterday?”
“Yes, Alpha. I won’t disappoint you again.”
I lean forward, holding her gaze. “You didn’t disappoint me, Kinsley. I just wanted to see you rise to the Beta that I know you can be. I think you’ve found yourself and I’m proud of you.”
She smiles, looking down, this blush a lighter shade than the one Lucas elicited. He leans in and kisses the side of her head. “I told you,” he says to her softly.
I give her a minute to collect herself, checking to make sure my mate is eating, then focus. “So, today, I want to invite Alphas Kayce and Robin for dinner. It needs to be soon and if they aren’t willing to make the trip, then I’m going to see if Sophie and I can travel to see them. If that happens, you two will be in charge again. I know I’m asking a lot during a time when things are up in the air, but…
“We understand, Alpha. We’re your Betas for a reason, right Kins?” Lucas says.
‘Absolutely, Alpha. We will manage the pack and protect them as you

would if the need arises.”
“I’m not expecting an attack, but I am expecting to get a notice that the two of us have to come before the Committee of Alphas. However, that doesn’t mean that one or more of the Alphas won’t consider our pack weak knowing we lost some pack members recently, and depending on where they ended up…”
“Actually, I found out that Koden ended up with Alpha Owen,” Lucas
says.
