Chapter 48

Good morning

but every morning she

With the distance between us it was hard to speak to one another since we had no practice, but every managed to get to my head with her voice.

The cold mountain air bit at my checks and nose. I huffed and pulled on my jacket and boots rubbing my arms and legs to prepare my limbs for another long day of tracking and climbing up the base of the mountain.

The River phase pack lied at the bottom of the mountain and right now I was scaling the mountain to kill this clever bear. It didn’t matter if it was summer this early in the morning I was freezing.

My pack was positioned in a valley we were surrounded by mountains on all sides the River Phase pack laid on the other side of the eastern mountains and that meant if an eastern wind came it devoured us in our current position.

There was an eastern wind.

This bear was larger than most if Steven was smarter and guarded his livestock he wouldn’t have become so homey

here.

Steven was a loyal friend and I know he is going to fight for my pack. He has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth and when he tries to be a strong alpha all he does is come off as an ass.

Being here away from Annette didn’t endear him to me at this moment. I want to know she’s safe but the men I get from this hunt, as well as getting a threat off my ally is worth this risk.

The bear was climbing higher trying to lose us. I don’t think he knew what he was up against.

“Gray stop looking so f**king miserable!” Steven clapped my shoulder handing me a cup of coffee.

“I’ve left my new wife in danger for you to get rid of a bear twice my size because you didn’t guard your livestock correctly. You’re lucky I haven’t punched you in the nose,” I grumbled, sipping the coffee and walking over to grab some eggs and steak.

“I let my wife track a dangerous wolf for you, alliances are give and take,” he chastised me in a false tone of authority.

“Lili is a saint for being your wife. I’m sure she saw the mission as a vacation,” I dug into my meat.

Any other pack would have been up in arms at such a blatant insult to their alpha but his men knew better than to pick a fight with me.

“I do think I’ll be paying for that comment of Alpha blood for a while. It was only a joke,” he sighed.

“She wants a babe Steven, she is just highly aware you are not ready to be a father,” I kept eating.

“I am not good at any of this Gray. I do what I can for my pack and for Lili. Being a father seems so final for my life that’s only started,” he shrugged shaking his head.
