He frowned, stopping in the middle of tugging up his jeans. “Why wouldn’t they?”

“I’m not a wolf.”

“That doesn’t matter. You won’t be allowed to join the pack, but we’re truemates, and they can’t—and won’t—separate us.”

“Oh, okay.” She smiled in relief. “I thought you might want to come back to my sleuth to live, and it would be cool if you did, but I like it here already. I’d like to stay.”

It was his turn to be relieved. When he’d woken up that morning and stared at his gorgeous, sleeping mate, he’d wondered if she would want to go back to her home. He wouldn’t fault her for that—it was her home and her mom was still there—but he had hoped she would want to stay. He enjoyed living in Wilde Creek, but the truth was that anywhere with Dani would be home for him. The address didn’t matter, only that they were together.

“We don’t have to decide today, sweetheart, but if you’d like to stay in Wilde Creek, then that would be fine with me. Right now, though, we’re on our honeymoon, so let’s just enjoy it.”

“Okay. Honeymoon?”

“Technically I guess you might call it the mating-moon?” he said with a chuckle.

“Mating-moon. I like it.”

He finished pulling on his jeans and leaned over to kiss her. “How do you like your coffee?”

“Lots of milk and sugar. Do you want help?”

“Just keep your sexy self in bed until I get back.”

She leaned back against the pillows, looking like a fallen angel. “Hurry back.”

He groaned and forced himself to walk out of the bedroom instead of climbing back next to her and seeing how many more times he could get her to scream his name. After starting the coffee, he grabbed eggs and bacon from the refrigerator and loaded up two skillets on the stove. While everything cooked, he called Acksel on his cell.

“Good morning, Alpha,” he said when Acksel answered. “I found my truemate last night and I wanted to let you know. Her name is Dani Grayson.”

There was a long moment of silence, and then Acksel cleared his throat and said, “You did? That’s great, Adam.”

“What’s great? Who is it?” Brynn demanded.

Acksel explained and Brynn squealed in excitement. “Tell him I said congratulations and I can’t wait to meet her.”

Acksel chuckled. “I take it you heard that?”

“I did, thank you both.”

“Of course. I’m sure you’re enjoying your time with your new mate. We would like to meet her. How about seven on Monday night? You can bring her to the house and we’ll have dinner.”

“That sounds great. See you in a few days.”

“Take care of your new mate.”

“I will, Alpha.”

Adam ended the call and tended to the food on the stove. He placed the cooked eggs and bacon on two plates and set them on a tray. After making toast and fixing the coffee the way Dani had said she liked it, he carried the tray into the bedroom and set it on the bed next to her. When he joined her, she said, “You made breakfast too? You’re too good to be true.”

“Oh?” he asked with a laugh.

“Sure. You’re sexy as hell, you rocked my world, and you can cook. You may be the perfect man.”

“Only maybe?”

“Well, I haven’t seen if you leave the toilet seat up or not.”

“I’ll be sure to put it down for you.”
