Chapter 0371

When we arrive back at our pack, I know Grace is exhausted. It’s been a grueling couple of days for her. I was able to complete our application to make our pack official, I applied for us to participate in the Tournament of the Moon Goddess, we set a date for the first mate gathering with Rik and Liam’s packs and I told Liam that I’d have numbers for him in a couple of days for those that want to work for hi

All in all, it was a very productive weekend.

When we get to the packhouse, Carlos is waiting for us, Amber’s baby in his arms. “Alpha, Luna. Welcome home.” He says. We shift and put on some clothes before walking into the packhouse.

“Carlos, nice mark you’re sporting.” I say, referencing his new mate mark.

He smiles sheepishly. “Thank you, Alpha.”

“Congratulations.” Grace says to him, coming up beside me.

“Uh, I know you both probably want to go clean up and check in on everything that’s happened while you were gone, but before you go, Amber and I would like to share something with you.”

Amber comes walking up and she has her own, strangely designed mate mark. I raise I brow, looking at her. “You were able to mark Amber?” I ask Carlos.

He looks at her and I can see his embarrassment. “I wasn’t able to restrain myself, and even though I don’t have a wolf, it seems to have worked. We both felt the mate bond snap into place.” He says, pulling Amber into his side and hugging her close.

“I’m very happy for both of you. Is that what you wanted to share with us?” I ask, ready to get caught up before dinner. I have a lot to announce to the pack.

“Actually, we wanted to introduce you to our daughter. Amber and I wanted to give her a name that meant something to both of us, something that we both feel we have now. So, may I introduce you to our daughter, Hope.”

Grace steps forward, putting her finger in Hope’s hand, letting her grasp her finger as she leans down and kisses her forehead. “Welcome to Safe Haven, Hope.” She says quietly.

Carlos looks at me over Grace’s head. I smile at him. “Spread the word, I have some announcements to make at dinner. Anyone that can, should attend tonight.”

“Yes, Alpha!” Carlos says excitedly.

Grace reaches out and touches Amber’s arm. “A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.”

“Thank you, Luna.”

“Now,” Grace says turning to me. “I’d better check to make sure we’re set to feed everyone for dinner tonight.”

“I’ll join you, Luna.” Amber says before taking Hope from Carlos and following Grace into the kitchen.

Carlos falls into step beside me. “So, it’s done?” He asks as we begin walking to his office.

“The application is complete and submitted. It’ll be a couple of days before we get confirmation.” I’m about to walk into his office, when he stops me.

“Alpha.” I turn as he opens the door to the office next to his. I stop in the doorway and see that in my absence, it’s been set up. “You tasked our Gamma with finding offices for all of us. He took it a step further and set them up. This is your office.” He says, sweeping his arm in a gesture for me to precede him into the office.

I walk in and see that there is a desk with a chair, some bookcases, a small round table and two chairs. “Where did you get the furniture?” I ask, astonished that there is any at all.

“Jeremy, that’s the carpenter that is making Hope’s crib, had some that were in various states of disrepair. He’s taking the pieces that are still good and creating new pieces of furniture. We started with yours and Luna’s. Noah’s furniture is in process and then we’ll set up offices for Amber and Sirona, although Sirona is expecting to spend most of her time at the pack hospital.”

At that moment, Noah walks in. “Alpha! Welcome back. What do you think?”
