“Are you ready for dinner?”

“Yes! I’ve never had dinner at a nice restaurant in this realm before. I’m so excited!”

He was glad he’d chosen to take her somewhere outside of Wilde Creek. Not that there was anything wrong with Luna’s, but it wasn’t exactly a first-date place. As he escorted her from their home, he felt like a fucking king with a beautiful female on his arm. It wasn’t just that she was gorgeous, she washis. He didn’t know what he’d done to deserve her, but he was damn happy she was in his life.

When they were on the way to the restaurant, she said, “You never said what the issue was with the pack earlier. Unless you’re not allowed to tell me since I’m not a wolf.”

He took her hand and kissed her knuckles, then rested their joined hands on his thigh. “I guess we got a little distracted earlier.”

“I guess so,” she said with a laugh.

“It’s not anything that’s a secret. A former pack female has joined a group of wolves to herself and started a small pack. They took up residence in a POS town about fifteen minutes from here.”

“What’s a POS town?”

“Piece of Shit.”

“Oh!” she said with a snort. “That’s an awful way to categorize a place.”

“Well, it’s true.”

“What did she want?”

“Me, apparently.”

“Excuse me?”

He shook his head, still amazed at the female’s incredulity. As if he were just waiting around for someone to come along and make him an alpha male. He could do that on his own if he wanted, thank you very much.

“Her name is Stef. She left Wilde Creek when we were in high school. She and I used to hook up on the full moon, but it wasn’t anything serious. Wolves don’t date like that, unless the other person is our mate, which she most definitely was not. Anyway, it appears that she’s looking for a mate to help her lead the pack, and for some reason she thought of me.”

Kismet hummed. “That’s what the meeting was about?”

“Yep.”

“She just showed up out of the blue and asked you to be her mate?”

“Indirectly, but yeah. I told her to…does our baby have ears yet?” he asked suddenly.

“What?”

“I’m just asking if I need to start watching my language around our baby. I don’t want his first word to be fuck or shit.”

Kismet barked out a laugh. “That’s adorable. And no, not yet. I don’t know when babies can hear but I don’t think it’s for a few months at least. Curse away.”

He made a face. “I probably shouldn’t curse in front of you anyway.”

“I don’t mind.”

“Still.”

“You told her to what?”

“Fuck off.”

“Good. Did she listen?”

“It seems so, but who the hell knows? The pack is going to increase patrols around town, and I don’t want you to feel afraid or anything, but you should definitely be vigilant until we’re sure she doesn’t try anything.”
