Chapter 168: The Packs

Hunter

There was something about spending the day with the other Alphas, away from our mates that had all of us missing them. I missed Sophie, missed her smell, her laugh, her loving gaze when she looks at me, and I missed playing with my son. I’ll admit, it really is my new favorite pastime, only knocked out of first place by making love to my mate. That will always be my number one favorite thing to do in this world.

So yeah, after being away from her all day, I scooped her up and took her to a secluded area where I could enjoy her, reconnect with her after being away from her all day, and yeah, I buried myself deep inside her, finding my happy place and capturing her screams of pleasure with my kiss.

I know I wasn’t the only one. By the time we returned to the packhouse, nearly all of Sophie’s friends had messy hair, some with grass or twigs still sticking out of them. The notable exception was Margot and Ezra, but I noticed that he took advantage of the time we were away to spend with his mate.

Most of the single warriors and ranked members who came to see the pack lands pitched tents and the group set up a couple of fire pits outside where people congregated overnight, talking about the pack, their possible future, and asking questions about the other available packs.

Robin, Kayce, Dutton, Erza and I spent most of the late evening talking with the group, answering their questions and making note of things that we to make decisions about. Calvin was around, but he didn’t really engage with us. I’m not sure how to feel about that. He’s an Alpha, but he was excluded from this process. It wasn’t until much later, after Sophie and the other pregnant mates found space in the packhouse to sleep and had gone to bed that he finally approached us.

“So, is this the plan for Alaric’s pack as well?”

“Besides the part of having to mark the boundaries, yes,” Dutton says to him.

He nods, looking around. “Will you be opening it to all the packs?”

“Not all of them,” I say. “Aiden and Zahn’s packs are not part of

our alliance; therefore, they won’t be participating.”
