They waved and he ended the call. Kismet sat back against the couch with a sigh.

“That wasn’t too bad, right?” he asked.

“It was great. Your parents are sweet.”

“I think they were wondering if I would ever find a mate.”

“Parents worry about that. It’s in their DNA.”

He cleared his throat. “Do you want to have kids?”

Her brows rose so fast she had to blink. “Right now?”

“No,” he said with a laugh, “I mean, eventually would you like to have kids?”

“Absolutely. You?”

“Yes. I was just wondering if our kids would be wolves or fairies.”

“I suppose it depends, we might have a mixture of both.”

“Could they become both? Like a fairy that can change into a wolf?”

“I actually don’t know if that’s a real thing or not. I guess anything is possible, but it seems like our kids would take after one side or another, not both.”

He clapped his hands. “Ready to go?”

“Yes. I’m looking forward to getting to know the alphas better.”

Although she could have used a portal to take them right to the alphas’ home, Ren wanted to drive and show her some more of the town.

“Tell me about Acksel and Brynn.”

“Acksel was alpha before he and Brynn were mated. I’ve known him forever. We grew up together, although we weren’t friends until after high school.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Life’s like that sometimes. Our paths crossed as we fought our way up through the ranks, and he was just destined to be an alpha. I never had any doubt he would be great at it, and he is. We became friends eventually, and now I’m his right-hand man.”

“Is Brynn from Wilde Creek?”

“Yep. Up until they mated, the rules in the pack were that anyone who mated outside our kind had to leave the pack.”

“What on earth for?”

“The pack used to be wolf-only. I think it’s standard for shifters, although there are groups that are still their-kind-only and others that never had restrictions. It just depends on the group. Acksel wanted to mate Brynn but didn’t want to give up the pack. They had a one-nighter and she became pregnant. He changed the laws so that pack members could mate whoever they wanted without leaving.”

She was quiet for a moment before she spoke. “So, if we’d met before he changed the laws, you would have had to choose either me or the pack?”

He glanced at her. “Sweetheart, there’s no choice to make. I would one hundred percent choose you every single time.”

“I’d choose you, too.”

“Fae don’t care about who mates who, right?”

“Yes and no. If I was on the council or in politics, there might be a dust up about a non-fae mate, but I’m not so it doesn’t matter, and I’d pick you every time, too.”

He lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles. He stopped in front of the alphas’ home and turned off the engine.
