“Nope. I just want to talk to Trent.”

“Our alpha is busy,” the other one said.

“I’m sure he is. You can either take me to him or step aside. I’m already pissed off and a good fight is just what I need.”

They looked at each other. Regardless of the rivalry between the packs, getting into a fight with Silent Paw’s alpha wasn’t advisable, unless they wanted to start a bloody war. Without a word, they turned toward their ceremonial hall where their alpha conducted business.

Trent was obviously expecting him. “Noah.”

“Trent. You are looking good these days.”

Grinning, Trent said, “Thanks. Not so bad yourself. You didn’t come here to compliment me on my fine physique.”

“No, I suspect that you know why I’m here.”

“I do.” He sighed. In a louder voice, he called, “Jasmine, Dolph, front and center.”

A few seconds later, a huge blond man and a woman, who was at least a foot shorter, walked into the room.

“Alpha?” Dolph said.

“I believe that Noah has come to talk to you.”

Dolph, who was a few years younger than Noah, looked defiantly at him. However, Noah stared at Jasmine, ignoring the taller man.

“Explain,” Noah said.

Jasmine looked up at the man who had a protective arm around her. A slight smile crossed her face and her eyes softened.

“I was out in the woods. We ran into each other and started talking. Dolph is nice and smart. I fell in love with him, and now I’m pregnant.”

Noah looked at Dolph and said, “You plan on going through the mating ceremony with her?”

“Yes, Alpha. Three days from now,” Dolph said, his head high, holding Noah’s gaze.

Noah looked at Trent, who nodded.

“Fair enough. I will let it be known that this is a sanctioned union and you are both free to come and go through Silent Paw territory as you please,” Noah said.

Jasmine rushed up to him and hugged him. “Thank you, Alpha.”

Then, her face flushed bright red when she realized what she had done.

Noah chuckled and held out his hand to Dolph. “You take good care of her and your child.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

“We’re about to have lunch to celebrate. Would you like to stay?” Trent asked.

Noah thought about it. They were rivals, but could this be an olive branch? “Thank you. I will.”

Noah observed the two lovers. Their feelings for each other were evident. Dolph was very gentle with Jasmine, and she looked at him as though he had hung the moon.

Elder Fredrick was almost frothing at the mouth when he returned. “Where is Jasmine?”

“She’s staying there. Jasmine has fallen in love with the alpha’s son. She is pregnant with their pup, and they will go through the mating ceremony in three days.”

“This is an outrage. I demand that we bring her back,” the elder bellowed.
