“They’ll take Brian and a member of the Waxing Pride, they’ll head out tonight, until his wifee back


    safe Alpha Steven will be here,” Grayson shook his head with a sigh at thatst part.


    “For life long friends you can’t stand him,” I noticed with a smirk.


    “You’ve met him. He speaks and acts without thinking… I don’t” He grumbled.


    “Oh I know,” I concurred with my smirk only growing.


    Grayson gave me that tugged corner of his mouth as a smile in return. Last night was seared into us


    now. The adoring and full hearted k*sses had sealed us together, the stone wall of a line we drew in the


    sand had been crossed.


    Eventually we parted and I went to sleep on a cloud. I know I sound like a teenager after her first date


    when in reality I’m talking about my husband. If I was human he and I would have a thorough


    knowledge of each other before calling each other husband and wife. Sometimes I dream of that, but


    now I am forever captivated with our story.


    After all it was ours.


    “Brian will have a sat phone he’ll update me every morning before they rest,” Grayson changed the


    topic and pulled back to the task at hand. “When they return I want you to check the scent on anything


    they bring.”


    “Sounds good to me,” I nod, trying to pretend like I was paying attention which I really really should be.


    His hand sn*ked around my waist. “I’m distracted too, so don’t worry,” his breath lingered on my n*eck,


    the urge he had to k*ss my skin was audible.


    I pulled away form him trying to get my head together. “I have to go to the border patrol again and this


    time I really need to pay attention as Luna it’s my job,” His ire was all over his face.


    “Well I will be out there around noon,” He straightened, inching closer like a predator in the forest. “That


    won’t be at problem will it?”


    “Grayson behave,” I scold him, sl*pping just out of his reach and heading for the door. “I’ll see youter.


    You would think breaching the physical barrier would abate the air of tension between us. Instead I


    stoked the mes of an unknown fire in my mate and now he was insatiable, he wanted nothing but to


    be next to me and my brain was unprepared for this interference with my duties.


    I headed to the border and was ready to listen to Elizabeth about all the rms, special defenses, and


    signals. As Luna defending my people was one of the most important things I did. I knew Elizabeth with


    her no nonsense attitude would help me focus.


    “Have things grown between you two?” She greeted me, arms folded over her chest, a sly look on her


    usually stern


    face.


    “Apparently not.

    “What do you mean?” I gaped at her stunned thhauidd fillowing woman was so grant speaking to her


    Luna.


    I know she sees Grayson as a dear friend, and shed hab been there for me even when I had trouble


    with him. She someone I havee to trust absolutely. Seemn beenotto tantly with me was not


    something I thought woulde after all these weeks of interaction..


    “My apologies Luna,” She straightened. “Aarron was at the beep today and said you two were in


    Graysons office al morning, and Amaria said something about a dream.l.tldott.gossip but if it concerns


    an heir…


    It made sense why she was being so frank now. She wanted takow if I was pregnant or if Grayson and


    I had a ch at being pregnant.


    “My heat ising, Grayson and I are getting closer, butts oftgtttitwould take divine intervention for an


    heir to produced,” I rified then gave her a stem look. “Which i would prider you kept between us,”


    “Of course, I know I should have been more delicate butal dlt’s want you here defending if you were,”


    She cough her awkwardness at crossing into my private life now washed byer heer.


    “Elizabeth you have taught me almost everything I need to be thedunn berel I trust you if there was a


    chance for heir I would tell you before anyone else here,” I fl*ppantly spobethinking bad toew how


    thankful I had been for h


    Instead she stopped dead in her tracks and looked as though I had told hbed Idowed bor. CLuna I am–


    thank you,”


    I gave her a soft smile. “Elizabeth even through all my troubles arriving beyond heed helped me. You


    gave me support in a time when I needed it most. Besides that i know no matter what youuwill do what


    is best for our pack well aware of how lucky I am to call you a friend of course I would tell you bonerd

    Elizabeth, one who was not one for a lot of emotions, much like my husbandoughed and docked


    from side to sid am, honored Luna,” She looked away from me. “I think of you as a good friends well,


    “I believe I have defense training.” I nodded to her, giving her an out from the tendemoss


    “Yes, let’s,” She nodded but gave me an almost proud smile.


    She taught me the secret defenses we had around the perimeter. Hidden tripivires and bombs rigigged.


    Pop up defer fifty, twenty and ten yards out. Trench defenses, and oil set to light if needed.


    Grayson was critical with protecting what he loved. Now that we had crossed the threshold obtouchlint I


    wondere exactly how far he would go for me.

    It was hard not to shiver at the thought of his dark side. He had built this ce for his future dami had


    been so careful to let me in. Seeing the defenses of the border it only solidified the knowledge that


    thhamnari giving my heart to would burn, the world to a crisp to keep me safe.


    I know he would crack every bone in the b*dy of a man who would try and take me from him. Was it


    wrong that endeared me to him? Wolves could be brutal and hostile, but I liked to help, heal and care.


    Still the thought teava protect me with no mercy made me trust him even further.


    “Impressed?”


    I smirked to myself at his gravelly wice raising thehairom my n*eck. He knew I liked it so he led with it.


    “Do you me me?” His hand brushed my tiacammy spineddragging his knuckles.


    You are enjoying this far more than I thought ynsmiti.

    There is nothing like the pull to the person made for you. When you take things further your instincts

    rational.


    Still so much had happened I know this could not be ourcourse hallito keep some lines intact. I couldn’t


    jump into the deep end because it looks warm.


    “If you want me to stop I will,” he stepped back a ways from me.


    I spun and put my hands on his shoulders bringing our bodies badstupgether. This can be our new

    We went to dinner after Grayson checked security footage. Basic drilllod making; suuremothing went

    “Ama!” Lillianna enveloped me in her arms with her sweeping grace

    Liliana cannot thank you enough,” I whispered into her ear,


    Because this was going to be a stealth mission no one in any of our packs outside of the alsand the


    betas knew


    what was proing on.


    This meant it had to look normal to all eyes. highly doubted someone from our pack conillettray what
