"Kinsley, can you make sure Beth and Chloe get something to eat?" I hear Sophia's voice. No, not Sophia, Sophie. Luna Sophie. She's a Luna now. "Jaime, why don't we go find someplace to talk?" Alpha Hunter says beside me.

I can't pull my eyes away from the beautiful woman in front of me. Why didn't she say it back to me? Why didn't her wolf call out to her mate?

I feel rooted to the spot, unable to move. When I'd smelled the scent of rain, the scent I love, I thought it was going to rain. I had no idea that my mate's scent would be the clean scent of a gentle rainstorm. "She's underage, Jaime," Alpha Hunter says quietly to me. I watch as Luna Sophie walks over to my mate and whispers quietly in her ear. She nods, but her gaze remains riveted on mine.

"How underage?" I ask, not sure how I can survive years before my mate turns eighteen and recognizes me as her mate. Although, if her stare is any indication, she must recognize me at some level. "Just a few weeks. Come on, it'll be easier for you to fight the pull to your mate once you've eaten and gotten some sleep."

"I'm not hungry," I tell him. The only thing that matters at this moment is the woman standing in front of me. The woman who is being led away by Luna Sophie

I take a step forward. "Easy, Jaime. She's going to join us for lunch," Alpha Hunter says. I have to fight the urge to growl at him for trying to keep me from my mate. When I turn to look at him, I see his wolf is forward, ready to control McCoy if needed. "Get a hold of yourself," he growls softly.

I close my eyes, and shake my head, trying to clear my mind. Then I take a deep breath and it's the wrong thing to do. I clench my fists and focus. I'm in Luna Sophie's pack, my sisters are safe...my sisters! Oh goddess!

My eyes flash open and I see them sitting at a table talking to a woman as they watch me.

"Are you two okay?" I ask them.

"Go Jaime. We'll be fine. Beta Kinsley is going to look after us. Go figure things out with your mate," Beth says.

I look at Chloe. She's younger, still underage, and has been terrified ever since I found them. Even being with me hasn't helped her to feel more confident. I'm hoping being back in a pack will make her feel more secure. She gives me a tentative smile and I see the woman, Beta Kinsley, wrap her arm around her protectively, as if recognizing that my sister needs the comfort and support of a ranked member. "I won't be gone long. If you need me..."

"They'll be fine, Jaime. You brought them here so we could help them. Let us do that," Luna Sophie says.
