I know Hunter is worried about my jealousy and possessiveness. Well, he doesn’t care as much about my possessiveness or Hedda’s need to mark him nearly every night now making sure that everyone knows that he’s ours. I think he rather likes that part. But the jealousy is difficult to manage, especially during these events when there are so many she- wolves around. I know, in my head, that the she-wolves competing have perfectly good reasons to be talking to Hunter, but my wolf doesn’t like it at all.

On the day that the Alphas showed Alaric’s pack to the contenders, t noticed that Margot stayed close to me. It took me longer than it should have to realize that Hunter asked her to watch over me. When it finally dawned on me, I turned to her.

“Are you here to make sure I don’t attack anyone, or to make sure that I do something else that might be crazy?”

She looked at me and smiled. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. How is it holding your niece? Are you getting excited about your little one?” she asks, expertly redirecting the conversation.

I just shake my head at her. “It’s good. She’s so sweet, so beautiful. I can’t wait until I’m holding Hunt.”

“I hope you’ll let the rest of us hold him too,” she says, her smile fading a bit as she looks past me

“Has anyone seen my mate?” Calvin asks, walking up and looking out in the direction of Alaric’s pack. He hadn’t arrived last night like I’d thought he would and when he didn’t show up this morning, they’d started without him.

“She’s with the other Alphas, showing the contenders the parameters of Alaric’s pack as well as the packhouse and general areas,” I say.

When he finally looks down at me, his face softens when he sees Athena. “There’s my little girl. How is she doing?” he asks me, reaching out and stroking a finger over her little fist.

“Fine, as far as I can tell,” I say.
