Chapter 42: Assumptions and Wagers

Hunter

The next morning, on the way to warrior training, I bump into a ridiculously happy Lucas.

"Beta?" I ask but based on the dark circles under his eyes and the fresh mark on his neck, I'm pretty sure I know why my Betal looks so happy.

"It finally happened, Alpha. Kins finally gave herself to me, and holy f**g s**t. I had no idea it could be that good."

I smile at my Beta. It's good to see him this happy and to know that what I saw in Kinsley yesterday extended to their relationship.

"I'm not exactly an expert, but I can tell you that after just a few days, it gets better and better every day." I say.

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. Where is your mate?"

"Sleeping. I wore her out," he says smugly.

"I'm sure that will continue for a long time, so she better get used to working on little to no sleep." I tell him as we step outside.

I take the time to address our warriors and explain that we have some new faces from Alpha Carter's pack to assist us until we

can begin to rebuild our pack's defenses and update our patrol schedule.

After that, I pair Carter's warriors with mine and watch to see how good they actually are. I'm not sure if Beta Matthew sent me his best warriors, or if they are all this good, but it's a testament to his pack and their training that his warriors are able to easily keep up with mine.

As with all packs, methods of training and techniques vary, so I talk to Lucas about having Carter's warriors rotate in to lead the morning training and teach our warriors some new fighting methods. The more prepared we are for battle, the better.

After training, I head inside, happy to see my mate talking to our pack members and getting to know them. I haven't given her much time to do that other than her Luna ceremony. I walk up behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Can I join you for breakfast?" I ask her.

"Absolutely not," she says, surprising me and turning to look at me with her hand on her hips.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"Why didn't you wake me for warrior training?"

I smile down at her. "I thought you might be tired after last night," I say, knowing that the entire room is watching our exchange. She might want to think twice about making a scene in the future. Her cheeks redden and she suddenly realizes that we have an audience.

"It's not because I'm a woman?" she asks.
