Finlay looked so serious. It had been a perfect morning, waking up in his arms. Spending time just talking about things

with the pack, our house, but I knew this would be different.

‘I think we need to get a meeting with the council this morning,’ he told me.

‘This morning? But the results won’t be out until after lunch,’ I said.

‘I know. I want this to be done before then.’

‘What is going on in that brain of yours, love?’ I asked. He smiled and kissed me gently.

‘You and I know our bond is real. I want to see if the council can confirm it. We don’t know what will happen after the

results are out. One thing I won’t be losing is you. We have both my brother and Alpha James who will want to cause

issues. They will say us being destined mates is a convenient solution. I can see both of them trying to split us up.’ I

looked at him and I knew he was right. I nodded.

‘It’s a good idea. Let’s get ahead of the trouble for once,’ I agreed. ‘I have a question.’

‘Let’s hear it.’

‘What do we tell the pack back home? I mean those who are with us will know we have mated. It’s kind of hard to hide

our marks and new scents. Do we ask them not to tell the ones back home?’ I asked. Finlay smirked and licked his mark

on my neck. It sent a pleasant shiver through my body.

‘I think we do. I would like it to be a surprise, if you don’t mind?’ he asked me.

‘No I like that approach as well. It will be a little tough on those with mates back in the pack.’ He shrugged.

‘It’s for a couple of days. They will manage. Anything else you want us to discuss?’

‘No. I just want you to know you make me very happy, I love you and the moon goddess couldn’t have given me a better mate. I will have to forgive her for past grievances at this rate,’ I told Finlay, and kissed him.

‘I love you too. I should have figured out we were our second chance mates a long time ago,’ he told me and kissed me

right back. We took a long shower together. Finlay was excited to show me what I had been missing, not having had sex

before. I was just as happy to learn all about it. If we hadn’t been in the middle of all the drama, I would have insisted we’d stay in our room for at least a day. As things were complicated, we headed down for breakfast together. It was a

little past nine in the morning, which was like sleeping until noon for Finlay and me. When we walked into the kitchen,

everyone else was almost finished eating. Sam turned around in his seat and by the look of it, he had a snide remark

ready. It never came, he looked at us and jumped up from his seat.

“Alpha, Luna,” he said and bowed. The sound of scraping chairs filled the room as everyone got up and followed his
