Chapter 46: Guests Allison

I thought for sure that Alpha Hunter was going to hurt Luna Sophie when he pinned her during their training session. I nearly jumped on him to pull him off of her. It was my wolf, Mizette, who stopped me, and

I'm glad she did.

I watched, as stunned as Letti, as Luna Sophie lifted her head up and ran her nose over the throat of her mate. I've never, ever seen an Alpha allow that, not even from his mate. But these two seem different. "They're the real deal, aren't they?" Letti asks me quietly.

"It seems so," I say as we watch Luna Sophie distract her mate until she can reverse their positions. Once again, she doesn't appear scared of him at all. Rather than avoiding his touch, she seems to crave it. I have no idea what wager they've made, but Alpha Hunter willingly gives in to her claim that she defeated him an equal number of times that he defeated her. Again, something unheard of in other packs. At least where I come from, Alphas insist on proving that they are the strongest, unyielding and unbending to anyone, even their mates.

As I look around, I see that their pack still isn't accustomed to this level of intimacy among their ranked members. Beta Kinsley seemed shy around her mate, not as open to this level of physical contact, at least not in public, so perhaps, this is as new to these pack members as it is to us.

When training is done, Alpha Hunter and Luna Sophie invite us to join them for breakfast before we go see Nikki. I'm anxious to see how she's doing. Her injury was caused because she helped me when Alpha Aiden nearly claimed me. Letti and I had already joined forces, but it wasn't until then that we met Nikki. She's a strong Alpha, tough as nails, and willing to put herself at risk in order to protect others, namely me. She put herself at risk and she didn't even know me.

We've stayed with her ever since. It wouldn't have been fair to leave her on her own after she injured herself protecting me. And I wouldn't have left her anyway. Out in the wild, if you don't help each other, someone gets claimed. But Nikki is an Alpha, and Letti and I deferred to her decision to come to this pack, to see if Sophie Meyers...Sophie Reynolds, was really here.

As I watch Sophie interact with her mate over breakfast, I'm glad we did. I realize that I want what she has. I want a love like this, a love that I didn't know could exist.

"Okay, ready to head over to the pack hospital and see Nikki?" Alpha Hunter asks.

"Oh, Hunter, did you tell them about our visitors tomorrow?" Sophie asks.

"Not yet. I will on our way over to the hospital. Thank you for reminding me. We have a lot going on these days."

I watch as he leans in, watching her, letting her take the final step to kissing him. She does so with no hesitation. I have to look away as jealousy flares inside me. Yeah, I want that.
