Chapter 98: Margot's Defensiveness Sophie

Hunter mind linked the pack asking if anyone knew where Margot was. She, Kinsley, and I had been talking about the safe rooms and how to make them less stressful for the moms, pups, and elderly that needed to be there.

"Margot, Hunter wants to see you," I tell her.

"What for?"

"He didn't say. Come on, I'll go with you," I tell her.

I can feel her nervousness as we walk.

"You know he won't hurt you, right Margot?" I ask, worried about her reaction to being called to meet with Hunter.

"It's not that. I asked Beta Lucas if I could run patrols," she says, looking over at me.

"Ahhh," I say, understanding. I know Margot doesn't want to be in the safe rooms again, so she's doing everything she can to get stronger. My guess is she knows that she's pushing too hard, and she expects Hunter to tell her no.

When we arrive, I knock and wait for Hunter to tell me to come in. Instead, he opens the door for me himself. I smile up at him.

"Hey."

"Hi," he says, leaning down to kiss me. It doesn't last nearly long enough, but it's longer than it should be when I realize that it's not just Hunter in the room, but Beta Lucas and Alpha Ezra as well. Ezra is standing, watching Margot closely.

I had asked her about sparring with him this morning. She'd been surprised when Ezra hadn't used the opportunity to grope her, but instead had really helped her with her training.

"Margot, come in. We want to talk to you about your request to run patrols," Hunter says. I look at her, but her eyes are on Ezra.

"Are you going to tell me no? I don't need to sit down if you're just going to tell me no," she says, crossing her arms over her chest, in an obviously defensive gesture.

"Not exactly, have a seat," he says, taking my hand and leading me to a chair before sitting and pulling me into his lap.

"I take it there is a concern about Margot running patrols?" I ask, trying to break the tension between Margot and Ezra. She hasn't moved away from the door.
