We smile at each other as he disappears inside and for a moment I take a deep breath to keep my emotions at bay. I never knew my com chance. The thought that Domonic is so fucking inconsiderate of his own boils my insides, I mean sure, he lost his mom, but his father si still here and loody without him.
Right then, 1 make myself a promise. No matter what the outcome is between Domotic and me – I will never abandon the man who took us in Adam is going to be a constant part of my baby’s life and if Dumonic has a problem with that, he can go sight to hell. By himself too. Because

Anything intelligible

“I’m not. Yesterday when you were napping on the couch, you called båa nume there damn times.”
“Pack you” she usaps, slapping a plate on the counter with a little more force than my new hearing is comfortable with
“Relax” I soothe. “I called Bart today. He says he’s never seen Boda as irritable as he been this past month. Apparently the boy starts fights with anything
“Really?” Emily replies, and I don’t miss the half smile that quirks across her lips. “Did you ask about Domonic? She inquires, coming around the Itchen counter with my beet
I bown. “No. I was going to, but… I just didn’t. Sighing, I cut into the steak sloppily, sing when it ones blood. Perfect. “Bart said Domonic beat him up pretty badly when he figured out he dropped us at the train station and not at the airport. It pissed me off and I decided that was all I needed to beat”
“How did he find out? Emily gushed, her eyes going wide.
I cock an eyebrow. “Koda, apparently.”
“Really…” She coos. “So Koda was looking for us?”
I shrug. “That’s my guess.”

Koda sparks to lie, rubbing his eyes and rolling down the window to take a deep inhale of the air outside.
“Anything!” I ask, rolling mine down as well.
“Not yet,” he says. “But my chest pains are gone.”
I grin. So she is your mate.”
“Shut up,” he says, straightening in seat and tilting head to stare at me for a long moment. “What’s the plan? Are we going to head in when we get there, or what?”
I sigh, glancing up ahead at the lodge before pulling in and parking in front of the main office. “I don’t know,” I admit. “I think I just need to see her”
Right,” he chuckles. “Sure.”
We hop out of the hummer and step into the lobby. Every single employee in the space is instantly alert. Each pair of eyes drift towards questioningly
“We need a couple of rooms,” I say to a young female behind the counter. Taking af of the air as I hand her my credit card, I note the faint woll smell on her.

She’s pack. Probably a daughter of sodurone I know, but I can’t tell who just yet.
“Of course,” the says with a smile, her eyes falling over me appreciatively as she bites her lip,
-Oh for fuck’s sake.
She’s pretty enough, sure. But she can’t be more than seventeen years old and I’m pretty sure that her father wouldn’t want her coming on to strange wolves that wander into this place. She can’t know who I am, can she? Maybe… I mean, I never mingled with many of the female daughters of park members back when I was younger. I didn’t see the point. None of them were allowed out much anyway, on account of their not being able to shift. Most of them were homeschooled and locked behind closed doors. That doesn’t seem to be the way things are run anymore. For the first time, I’m left to wonder who their Alpha is and what kind of system he has in place.
“Here you go, Alpha Demonic. Two of our very best suites.”
My body freezes and I sense Koda tense as well behind me. “What did you call me hissed.
She flashes me a thousand kilowatt smile. “My name is Bridgette, Alpha Domunic. She giggles. “I can feel your energy. It’s a very special talent of mine. My dad sys I’m lucky because I’m the only one of the pack females that shows any promise. Here are your keys.”
I nod, leaning in to whisper in her ear. “Listen Bridgette, can you do me a favor?
She smirks, leaning forward to press her cleavage forward “Anything.
Fucking hell. Her father needs to teach her how to act like a proper young lady. But, thi not beyond using her attraction to me to my advantage. “Can you keep our arrival a decret? I don’t want anyone to know we’re here until our visit tomorrow.” I smile at her and allow my eyes to game over her body like I’m checking her out. when mil really just admiring the polished marble floor at her back.
She grins, cocking an eyebrows. “Got it,” she winks before biting her lip
er lip again and pointing us toward the inner stairwell.
“No elevators,” Roda comments to me as we climb to the second floor then step out into a private hallway. The inside looks a lot more modern than the outside.”
The two best suites that she mentioned seem to be the only two rooms on this floor, After we enter the first, out onto the back balcony to stare into the woods.
“Remember,” I tell him. “We find them first then we watch from a safe distance.”
“Heard,” he says, his eyes already widening as he begins to shift right here on the punch.
“Shall we?” I say, grabbing onto a branch that peers over the edge of the railing
t, the pair of us strip down to our underwear and saunter
“Absolutely,” he says, through a mouthful of teeth before climbing onto the railing to drop down to the ground below.
Swinging off the branch, 1 backflip in the air and shift before I hit the ground. Right away her scent hits me. A glance to my right says Koda’s wolf has sniffed out the
same.
The guare nearby.
Here I come baby.
