“Barbeque beef and pulled pork sandwiches.”
“Yum. Are you stopping to eat? I’d like to talk to you,” he says.
“I could take a break and eat something,” I say, knowing he’s worried about how thin I am.
“Good, let’s get some food and sit. Or we could eat in my office.”
“Whatever is more comfortable for you,” I tell him.
“Let’s eat with the pack. They’re all still getting to know you. They’ll appreciate having you among them,” he says.
“And you as well, Alpha,” I say as I grab a sandwich. He frowns when I only grab one, but after breakfast, I don’t want to put more food on my plate than I can eat.
We say hello to several pack members before sitting down. “Okay, Alphas Kayce and Robin will be here this weekend.”
“This weekend as in two days from now?” I ask.
“Yes. Since they are coming from so far, they will be staying the night. I’d like to plan to have a private dinner with the four of us as well as Lucas and Kinsley. But then I’d like to have something out back, an informal gathering so they can see you interacting with the pack. I think they’ll be watching you very closely Sophie, not just because

you’re the legend, but because your interactions with me are so different than anything they’ve ever seen before.”
“So, you want me to make it look good?” I ask, already thinking through what we could do.
“No, I want you to be yourself. Don’t put on any airs, don’t act any differently than you would if it were just us and the pack. Just being you will be different enough for them to notice.”
“I can do that, and I have some ideas of the type of gathering we can put together, something that has a small, intimate feel to it, but still allows all the pack members to participate if they choose.”
He stops eating and smiles at me.
“What?” I ask him. “Do I have something on my face?”
“No, you’re just so perfect and I’m so happy that you’re mine.”
I lean in toward him. “You are such a charmer, Alpha Hunter.”
He smiles, leaning in to the point where I can feel his breath on my lips. In public, he always lets me make the final step of kissing him. I hold his gaze as I lean in, pressing my lips to his. Once I take the step, his response is instant and his hand is in my hair, his head tilting to deepen the kiss.
As always, I get lost in my mate, his scent, his taste, his playful tongue. When he finally pulls away, I leave my eyes closed for a moment, loving the way my lips tingle from his touch.
When I open them, he’s smiling possessively at me.

“Definitely a charmer,” I say to him, making him chuckle.
He sits back in his seat, turning back to his food. “Back to business, I‘ ve also left a message for Alpha Ezra.”
“Would he come, if you invited him?” I ask.
“Maybe, maybe not. He still struggles with losing my sister, even after all this time.”
“Second chance mates aren’t unheard of,” I say, biting into my
sandwich. Pack food is SO much better than the greasy diner food I liyed on for two years.
“I don’t know if he’s there yet, but I’ll invite him. Who knows, it might be good for him to get away from his pack. Or it could possibly make him even more sad seeing what he could have had and lost.”
“Hey Luna, I have a favor to ask,” Kinsley says, jogging over.
“What’s that?” I ask, putting my food aside.
I want you to write a note today to the she–wolves on the run. It’s one thing for me to say that you’re here and are happily mated to our Alpha, but if you were to write something…I don’t know, they still wouldn’t have any guarantee that it’s you, but at least it wouldn’t be my handwriting saying it.”
“What should I say?” I ask, taking the pen and paper.
“Tell them the truth. We were mated in secret, we’re fighting the laws that require public claiming for ranked members, and we’re offering

sanctuary for any she–wolves on the run, no questions or strings attached. Well, we will ask them to participate in the pack, so maybe put that,” Hunter says, taking another huge bit of his sandwich. The man seems to have a huge appetite for everything, including me.
‘Most of all, you,‘ he says, winking at me and making me blush.
I turn back to the paper and stare at it.
‘Hedda?‘ I ask, wondering if she’s in agreement with my idea.
