“No, Alec I’m not.”

“I’m not happy about this either. I have it in me t-”

“No Alec. I’m not okay because everyone thinks they need to keep s hit from me. I’m a big f ucking girl and Luna of this pack. Mates don’t keep secrets. You had no right to keep that from me. We are supposed to be equals! I expect that from them but not from you.”

Alec took the as s chewing and had the decency to look ashamed. “You’re right. I’m sorry.” Alec walked in and rubbed his hands up and down my arms. He stood behind me as I glared at him in the mirror. “I want

to protect you.”

“There are some things you cannot protect me from.” I responded as I calmed down.

know. I’ll try to remember that.”

Turning around, Alec wrapped me in a hug. “I’m still mad at you.” I mumbled but my anger was fading.

“I know.” Pulling my face up to him, he k*ssed me softly. “Ready to go back out there?”

“Yeah.”

Alec closed the door behind us. We were holding hands as we walked back into brunch. Thankfully they moved on and was talking about what moving forward would look like.

“Have you found a new beta?” Alpha Marc asked.

“Probably will move Jacob up but that will be a conversation. He

Would need to change his ways a little.”

“Hopefully you find your mate tonight.” Dad sighed. It wasn’t unheard of to take over the Alpha role

without one but it made you stronger.

“Hope so.” Colt gave me a look. It was, now the pressure is on me kind of look. I responded with a smirk of my own.

“Are you going to come finish packing your room?” Colt asked.

“Probably should. There isn’t too much I want to bring but there are some stuff.”

“I’m just telling you now, An n is dead set on making it into a guest room asap so anything left behind will be thrown away.” Colt warned me.

“Do I have time to get it after we eat?” I asked Alec.

“Of course. We can go afterwards. Can’t spend a lot of time over there but it’s your birthday, you can do

whatever you want.” I could tell Alec didn’t want to go over there but he also didn’t want me to not have

my stuff.

“I’ll tag along. That way I can make sure to keep anything you don’t want to bring over here but don’t want

An n to throw away.” Colt stated.

Alecs phone started vibrating. He glanced at it before standing up and walking out of the room. My eyes

followed him as he answered the phone.

“Is Alec okay with that?” Colt asked.

“He’s fine. He just doesn’t like A nn.” I shrugged.

“No one does.” Emmy muttered b efore looking shocked by her comment. “I’m so sorry! It sl*pped.”

Marc shook his head but the rest of us laughed. “It’s okay, girl. You saw first hand how she is.”

“What’s so funny?” Alec asked as he walked back in.

“Emmy.” I said as I took another bite.

“Penny is going to meet us at the pack house. I guess we missed something she needs.”

“On what?” I asked.

“The shop.”

“Why is she working on the shop and the party?” I asked appalled.

“Because that woman is gifted.” Alec nodded.

“Very much so. I better never lose her.)

“Penny has worked under you, learned from you for almost 4 years now.” Colt commented

“Yup, she just needed some guidance.” I agreed.

“That didn’t make you jealous Alec said that about Penny?” Emmy asked.

The bite of food I was about to eat hung in the air. “Nnooo?” I looked at Alec for an answer.

“You really aren’t the jealous type.” Colt answered.

“I guess he hasn’t given me a reason to be jealous? I don’t know. I guess I never really thought about it.” I

“Well don’t start.” Alcaid and we all laughed

“Why?” I asked Emmy
