I’m not surprised that the pack is excited to know that not only is Jara possibly pregnant but that two other she-wolves are joining our pack.

First, we all know the value of having pups. But the possibility of being pregnant so soon after she was claimed is a big accomplishment and only shows the strength of the bond between me and Jara. Joe and Stella took years to have a pup, and they now have a son. It’s great, and I’m happy for them, but one pup for our entire pack isn’t enough. One pup per couple isn’t going to help us repopulate our numbers. So yeah, Jara potentially being pregnant already is i big deal.

It says a lot that Mignon and Hana are pregnant as well. Hopefully, it means that this group of she-wolves will be happy in their

relationships and will be able to produce several pups, hopefully with most of them being females.

And, the second part of their excitement is that the more females we have, the more we know they are safe. My pack takes the lives of she-wolves very seriously, knowing the impact not having them has had on our pack. But it will also be nice to have another pup around. And not just a pup, a female pup. She may possibly become the princess of the pack in a very short amount of time.

I’ll have to have a talk with Luke and his mate. I don’t know what type of environment they came from in Alpha Shawn’s pack, but here, my pack members will want to be around them, but with no ill intent. I don’t know if Luke’s mate was a ranked member, but any female pup has the potential to have an impact on our pack members. Nothing like the impact that Jara is having, but still

something positive.

As I take Jara’s hand to lead her to our bedroom to shower, I turn

to Lewis.

“Lewis, meet me in my office in an hour.” I tell him.

His eyes go wide, and he looks over at Jara quickly before looking back.

“Yes, Alpha.”

“It’s not about you sparring with my mate.” I tell him. “Although if and when we find out that Jara is carrying my pup, sparring with my mate will be off limits.”

“Yes, Alpha.” My field of warriors says. I probably didn’t have to say it, but the protective side of me needed to.

I take Jara upstairs and we shower together. I didn’t think through the timing of the meeting with Lewis. I don’t have time to take care of my mate like she likes, but there’s a thing called a ‘quickie’ and I introduced her to it before we got out of the shower.

She pouted of course, wanting my knot.

“Look, you insatiable woman, I’ll give you what you want tonight when we have plenty of time.” ·

“Promise?” She says, giving me a sultry look, while she tosses her towel aside and stands gloriously naked in front of me.

I growl as desire races through my body, heading south. “Have I ever denied you anything?” I say, pulling her against me, letting her feel how much I want her again already.

“You’re denying me right now.” She says, pouting.

“Okay, your choice, get fucked and knotted by your mate until you’ re hoarse from screaming my name, or Lewis gets his interview about being your guard.” I say, knowing what her answer will be.

She smacks my chest. “That’s not fair. You know I can’t deny him.”

“Neither can I, love.” I kiss her forehead and slide my lips to her ear. “So, I’ll fuck you until you’re screaming my name and give you my knot as many times as you can take it tonight. Deal?” I whisper, feeling the shiver of excitement run through her body at my words.

“I love how you negotiate, Alpha.”

“I love how you can’t get enough of me.” I tell her, nipping at her neck before licking my mate mark, making her shiver again.
