    Pushing the door open she was greeted with the sight of half a dozen women bustling around the sto waffles.


    ''What are you all doing here so early?'' Charity asked causing thedies to jump in shock.


    A young girl of twenty four with striking ck hair and beautifully olive skin stepped forward, ''Good M Charity returned her smile as she shook her head ''You don''t need to do that, I was justing down An older woman moved to stand next to Reba, he striking resemnce to the young girl confirmed warriors saved my daughter and the daughters of many of the other women here, Reba was due to Shock filled Charity''s face ''I thought all males could bid for their women?''

    Charity was horrified at how awful this pack had been treated, it far exceeded anything that she could Shaking their heads, the women ushered her from the room, ''You have done so much for us Empress, ''Well ok, if you are sure'' replied Charity uncertainly, ''I tell you what, i''ll get the boys up and we will so Nodding happily, ra grasped Charity''s hand in both of hers ''It would be a pleasure to dine with you ''Please just call me Charity'' Charity said smiling as ra released her ''Empress feels so formal'' Laughing ra nodded ''Of course Emp..

Giving ra a small wave, she hea ''What? where? wha?..''Mumbled Justin as he dragged the door open, ''Char! its like the middle of the nil! what is so damned important that you feel the need to break my door down?''

    ack up the stairs to start banging on bedroom doors.


    Charity gave him a look ''Justin, its 9:30, just because you decided not to do much sleepingst night does not mean you get a lie in'' she teased, ''Oh by the way, how is Hazel this morning?'' she asked smirking.


    ''Oh she''s better than fine Char, I know how to treat my mate, she had a HUGE smile all night'' Justin replied airily as a shrill voice came from behind the door.


    ''Oh my goddess! Justin! you as so embarassing'' Hazel moaned covering her face.


    Justin chuckled as he pushed open the door to reveal a bright red Hazel sat up in bed, the sheets wrapped around her as she buried her face in her hands.


    ''I''m sorry Hazel, I''d like to say he gets better as he goes along but unfortunately our Justin stopped maturing at about 7 years old'' Charity said rolling her eyes as Hazel giggled behind her hands and Justin gave her a hurt look.


    ''Char! how could you, I am the epitome of Mature'' he bragged ''Now leave Luna as I need to make sure that my beautiful mate is thoroughly aware of my love for her''


    Charityughed as Hazel pulled the covers over her head groaning with embarassment.


    ''Well don''t take too long because I need you all toe down and help sort out a dining room, some of the women from the vige are making us breakfast'' she said as she went to walk away.


    ''Now Luna, you know that us werewolves take our role in pleasuring our mate extremely seriously, these things cannot be rushed!'' protested Justin


    ''Ok no problem Jus'' Charity threw over her shoulder ''I''ll let thedies know that you don''t wish to have any of the fat juicy sausages that I saw them frying up just now...''


    Justin stood stock still for a moment before shouting after her ''We''ll be down as soon as we can! you better save me some sausages woman! I need my strength!'' then shut the door, cutting off the sound of Charity''sughter as she made her way down the hallway knocking on doors.


    Reaching her own door, she pushed it open gently to reveal the sleeping form of her husband Aaron, his ck hair covering his forehead haphazardly, the bed sheet around his waist showing off his muscr stomach, drawing a small growl from Charity''s lips as her eyes traced his skin.


    ''You need to stop looking at me like that'' Aaron murmured a smile pulling at the side of him mouth as hey there still with his eyes closed.


    ''Like what?'' replied Charity walking slowly toward the bed


    ''Like a piece of meat'' Aaron growled ''I might start thinking that you only want me for my body'' he said opening one eye and looking up at her, pouting cutely.


    Charity giggled as shey on top of the covers cuddling into him, smiling to herself as Aaron lifted his arm, cing it around her waist, pulling her into him as his lips quested for hers.


    ''Not now Mr Cross'' Charity scolded as she grabbed his hand and pulled it upwards away from her a*s where he had been caressing her. ''We need to get up and sort the dining room, some of the vige women came this morning and are preparing us breakfast'' Aaron groaned as he gazed at her lustfully ''Are you sure we can''t be a little bitte?'' he moaned seductively, leaning over to kiss her neck as his hands started to trace her breasts through her shirt.


    Gasping at his touch, Charity reluctantly pulled away, pushing him yfully ''Stop that! You are the Alpha, you need to lead by example'' she scolded.


    Aarony on his back ''I am leading by example'' he grinned, ''I think every werewolf should treat their she wolf to as much pleasure as she can handle, he should worship her body daily, I am proud to lead my men in this endeavour''


    Charity swatted his chestughing ''Well tough, you are getting up Mr Cross,e on, you need to go and lead this pack'' she said sternly.


    ''Talking of Alpha''s'' Aaron said, rolling onto his side and looking at his wife ''When you were describing the new Alpha of this pack yesterday to the Oakridge Pack, it felt like you had someone in mind''


    Charity looked down at her hands, fiddling with the sheets as she tried to avoid his eye contact.


    ''Baby'' Aaron growled, his hand grabbing her chin, lifting her eyes to his, ''who is it?''


    Sighing Charity smiled ''I do have an idea of who should lead'' she said slowly, ''but i''m not sure you are going to like it''
