Mason came and got me for dinner. We walked in together and everyone stopped for a moment, looking at us, before going back to eating and talking. We grab our food and head over to where Elijah, Joe and Stella are already seated.

I’ve just sat down when the entire room goes quiet again. I look up and see Luke, his mate and their daughter standing in the doorway. I watch Luke looking around the room and because he was my guard, I know he’s assessing the threat level in this room. His mate has not-so-subtly moved their daughter behind her back, but the cute little girl with big blond curls is peeking around her mother’s legs, smiling at our pack mates.

I stand immediately and Luke’s gaze snaps onto mine. His posture relaxes and he smiles. “Luna Jara.” He says as I begin walking toward him.

“Luke!” I say, pulling him in for a hug. I know wolves aren’t

generally touchy, but he’s going to be part of my pack now and he’ s my guard. I already have a close connection to this man and now that his mate and daughter will be a part of this pack, that

connection will only increase.

“And you must be Melinda.” I say, looking at the little girl. She can’t be more than two years old.

She nods her head, looking around. “Why are they staring at me?” She asks, watching my pack members thoughtfully.

“Melinda!” Brynn scolds.

“It’s okay.” I say, looking up at Brynn. “Most of them have never seen a she-wolf pup before. They are excited to have you in our pack. And they want to get to know you.”
