She checked her watch. “Well, I have to get dinner. Rick?”

“Yup. My car or yours?”

“Mine. Mama Tsubaki’s is hard to find.”

Loki got excited. “Seriously?”

She grinned. “See you in forty-five minutes.”

Polly left, and Rick went with her.

They were quiet until she got to the shop, and then she walked up and bowed to the counter person saying, “Pickup for Polly?”

The young woman stared at her and looked her up and down. “Just a moment, miss.”

She disappeared to the back, and Mama Tsubaki flew out, hugging Polly and squeezing her face. “You are still too skinny. He will break you.”

Polly smiled. “He won’t break me. He’s very careful.”

“Well, I have a separate bag for you. It will help you put on some more flesh. I made your favourite.” She smiled and patted her cheek.

Rick was laughing. He took the bags and nodded. “Thank you, madam.”

Mama nodded to him stiffly. She asked Polly, “Is this one yours?”

“No, Mama. He’s one of Loki’s. Loki has started a new pack today. One other alpha, a beta, and omega.”

“Oh, do you want Minoru to provide for you in such a way?”

“No, Mama. He is plenty.” She bowed. “Thank you very much for taking my call, Mama. I have to go.”

“I am looking forward to your wedding, child. You will glow with happiness.”

Polly smiled. “I will just enjoy an end to the restraint between us. Maybe I am too skinny, which is why he isn’t driven to me?”

Mama Tsubaki put a hand over her mouth. She nodded slightly, and Polly headed to the car.

She grinned when she started the car with Rick next to her.

“Why are you smiling like that?”

“Because Minoru is about to get a phone call for not bedding his mate. I am imagining his face.”

Rick laughed, and she drove them back to Ulric’s with a king’s ransom in sushi and soba.

When they arrived back, it was about dinner, and then Bella and her pack were separated for the night, and Polly cleaned up and made a list of employment agencies to call in the morning. Loki’s house was better and more spacious, not to mention more centrally located. They were going to move the pack to a better house.

Chapter Six

After going through the checklist, including taking Bella and the others to get kimonos designed, Polly was ready for a day off. She was happy that Loki and his pack had come together, but it left her on the outside... waiting.

She made an appointment to see Aggie for coffee. Maura was acting as her bodyguard, so Polly insisted they all sit together.

Aggie smiled. “So, how are things at home?”

“I am heading back to spend a day with Jiji when I leave here.” Polly smiled.

“Uh, I meant Loki’s place.”
