We watch as Penny leaves, hearing her tell Jaime about being asked to be our Gamma.

"That went well," Lucas says as the door closes.

"It did. I hope that means that we'll soon have a Gamma couple."

"Do you intend to open it for a challenge?" Lucas asks.

"Yes, we'll have to, but I don't think any of our warriors can defeat her, do you?" I ask.

"No. She's tough, nearly as strong as I am in a fight."

"And she's a smart fighter. I've been watching her since Lucas said you were both interested in her as our Gamma. She's small, but she uses that to her advantage in her sparring," Kinsley

says.

"Did you notice the hickey on her marking spot?" Sophie asks Kinsley, smiling.

"Do you think he is?" Kinsley asks.

I look at Sophie. "It's hard to know for sure. He seemed like he legitimately wanted to bring Jocelyn here to help her, but you never know. It could all be a ruse," she says.

"What's your plan when he's here?" Lucas asks.

"He agreed to have 24-hour surveillance on him, so that's what I m going to do. He goes nowhere that one of us hasn't approved."
