"Well, howdy stranger!" My Beta greets me when I walk upstairs to my office, and I see him coming out of his own.

"I was just here yesterday smartass." I chuckle as I walk into my own office.

"Yeah, but you spent more time in your office than anywhere else." Carter states.

I sigh heavily, "Yeah, I know. Every time I think I'm finally going to be able to spend more time here, something happens over at Dark Moon that keeps my attention over there."

"Are you regretting mating Quinn?" My Beta asks even though he already knows the answer to it.

"No, never! I just want all these annoying assholes to leave us alone so we can live in peace. I want to start having pups with my mate but she's too scared that war will come, and she won't be able to protect everyone because she can't shift."

"That's crazy! Quinn is a badass regardless of if she shifts or not. All she needs is Tala's claws and fangs and she's fucking lethal!"

"You try telling her that," I snicker, "Now it's all about your sister's new mate. I'm not sure what to think about him yet."
