“We still have some things to work through. I’m sure, but one step at a time. Her Luna ceremony will be the next step.”
“I’m heading back to my pack. Let me know how many want to come stay. We’ll figure it out,” he says as he stands.
“Thanks, Henry,” I say, walking him out.
“Keep doing whatever you’re doing with Kennedy. It was good to see her smiling this morning.”
I wave, watching him leave before turning toward the hospital. It was good seeing her smile. I think I’ll go try to put a smile on her face again.
I walk into the hospital and look around. There are boxes of supplies in various stages of being unpacked. I lift my nose in the air and follow my mate’s scent to a room in the back of the hospital. There, I see her reading what looks like instructions to a microscope.
She’s so engrossed that she jumps when I wrap my arms around her.
“What are you doing?” I murmur, nibbling on her ear.
“Trying to figure out how to put this together. What are you doing here?” she asks, turning her head to look at me.
“Not complaining,” I purr.
“Is that so?” she asks, and I feel her ass press back against me.
“Mmmm, are you sore from this morning?”
“No,” she says breathily as I slide my hands under her shirt.
“Want to try something new?” I ask, sucking her earlobe into my mouth.
“Yes,” she gasps as my hands push her bra up and begin teasing her nipples. “Quirin,” she moans.
“I love how you say my name, all needy and breathy. Did you want me inside you?”
“Yes,” she pants.
I look at the counter in front of her, seeing that it’s covered with parts. I turn her to another counter and begin undoing her pants. “Hands on the counter,” I say, smiling when she eagerly complies.
I push her pants down, undoing my own before standing behind her and gently pushing her forward.
“Arch your back,” I say, growling when I see her glistening lips, just begging for my touch.
I slide my fingers between her folds. She’s soaked.
“Have you been thinking about me?” I ask her as I slide my tip through her slick heat.

I definitely want more of it Raf pars in my head.
Tonight. Tonight we can take our time, explore her body and then bask in her light again.
We need to take Echo out again. This time when I catch her. I’ll be mating her Raif says, growling possessively.
You realize that’s counter–productive to what we’re trying to accomplish, right? She’s not going to run hard if you’re just ping to mate her every time you catch her. I tell him
I have a feeling my Intle Alpha mate will want me to work for it he purrs.
Warrior training seemed to go on and on and I was almost disappointed when Kennedy wasn’t waiting for me when I got lone. I could tell when I reached out that she was distracted, trying to work through something. Since she’s in the hospital, I save po adea what could be so distracting, but it doesn’t matter. The moment I smell her sweet citrus and mint scent, I have o taste ber
have a moment to enjoy her teasing me about distracting her today when the alarms go up.
ALPHA JASPER IS ATTACKING? my patrols yell in the pack link
ALPHA BROGAN IS ATTACKING TOO! I hear another group of patrols say.
I’ll take Brogan Kier says as I turn to Kennedy and tell her to get to a safe room. She’s not a fighter and I don’t want her nywhere near these warriors. They’ll kill her without a second thought, especially if they know that she’s my mate.
don’t have time to argue with her and I need her in a fucking safe room, so I don’t have to worry about her getting killed. So, before she can argue, I tell her to get in a safe room and then I race outside, shifting as I go, letting Raif take the lead.
leap over our warriors as they fight. I don’t see any of my men and women who look like they’re struggling so I keep ocused, searching for Jasper. It’s only been a week. I’m surprised that he’s recovered enough to attack again, but maybe hat’s why he’s recruited Brogan to attack us too.
When I find him, he’s taking on two of my warriors and slicing large gashes into both of their bodies.
taif snarls, leaping on him and snapping his teeth at him. We only get fur, but he shakes his head violently, tearing the fur efore his teeth rip out of him. Raif spins, meeting Jasper’s wolf head on as the two of them scratch and snap at each other. lasper’s a good fighter. He fights dirty like I do, which is why we’ve struggled to defeat him when he’s attacked us in the past.
We’ve been fighting for a while when I hear the howl of retreat go up.
Brogan’s retreating Yaer says, just as Jasper pulls away from me and howls his own retreat. I chase him following him off our pack lands, but there are too many of them, coming from all directions and I don’t want to get caught, surrounded and unable to defend myself against so many attacking wolves.
I howl the end of the battle and our victory as I return to the pack.
Kennedy? I say, reaching out to make sure she’s okay.
Is it safe to come out? she asks.

“Yes, I say, feeling exhausted Jasper picked a good time to attack, right after two hours of warrior training and befoon we could eat. I’m tired but I need to check on the pack
Til go to the hospital. Send anyone who needs to be treated, she ways.
I don’t have the heart to tell her that no one is going to go to the hospital. I’m sure she can sitch up my warriors, but they’d rather eat and get some sleep while letting their wolves heal them than go get treated at the hospital.
We could go see her, Raif ways.
“We need to make sure we don’t have any warriors whose injuries are too bad. If they are, I’ll send them over to Kennedy. I don’t know what she can do, but we’ll see. I didn’t feel any links break, but I wantto check in with Kier and see how it went with Brozan
When I get back to the parkhouse, my Beta looks like shit and I tell him so
“You should see the other guy,” he says, making me laugh.
He and I go around checking our park members, making sure that no one is too terribly injured before sending them in to get food and rew
When I finally get to our room, I see that Kennedy isn’t back yet.
“We should go see her, Raif says.
Let’s shower first, and if she’s not back by then, we’ll go get her, I say, stepping into the hot shower and letting the heat of the water soak into my sore, tired body.
Kier POV
That Alpha nearly kicked my ass. He’s a strong bastard, I’ll give him that. My body aches as I go through the pack, making sure that everyone is okay and when Alpha says that he’s heading upstairs to shower, I go find Arianna.
1 mind linked her the moment the call came up that we were under attack telling her to get to a safe room. Then I’d checked to make sure she was actually in one, and when the other packs retreated and the pack lands were clear, I’d reached out letting her know that it was safe to come out.
I find her in the kitchen working hard to put food back out for the warriors to eat. We’re all used to being sore and injured after a battle but I know that smelling her gentle, calming scent will help Rowd heal me faster.
When I see her, her eyes widen and she sets her platter of food down, rushing over to me. I know I shouldn’t, I’m covered in blood, but I pull her to me with the arm that isn’t aching and bury my face in her hair.
“You’re injured,” she says, pulling back and looking me over. I haven’t looked at myself. I just know that I hurt all over.
I’m okay. Being with you helps,” I say smiling.
“Luna’s at the hospital. You should go see her,” she says.
“I’m fine, Arianna. Really”
She looks up at me, her lips trembling. “Please. Will you go for me? I’ll go with you,” she says, her eyes welling with tears
“Shhh, Arianna…”
“Please, Kier.”

“Yes, Luna,” he answers, watching her curiously.
