“I understand. Thank you for offering the accommodation. I gladly accept,” I told him.

“I’ll escort you there now,” he said.

I began to follow him toward the door when Sienna interrupted.

“Wait a second,” she said. “I need to grab my things.”

I cocked my head and furrowed my brow in confusion as we all stared at her.

“You’re welcome to stay with your father,” Alpha Lex told her. “It’s only Franco who cannot.”

“I’ll be staying with my mate,” she said.

Without waiting for a reply, Sienna disappeared up the stairs. I heard footsteps as she packed her belongings and reappeared moments later.

“I’m ready to go,” she announced.

Lex led Sienna and me to a small building on the outskirts of town. It was in a ring of thick trees, well-hidden from view.

“Like I said, it’s not much,” Lex explained. “But it’s clean.”

“It’s more than enough. Thank you,” I said.

“If you’re going to come into town, I will need you to call me first to arrange for an escort,” he continued.

“Of course,” I agreed.

With that, Lex left, and Sienna followed me into the house. It was barely twelve by twelve and could easily be called a shack. Inside was a double bed, a wall-mounted cupboard for supplies, a wood-burning stove for cooking and heat, and adoor leading to a tiny bathroom. The bed was covered with a patchwork quilt, and next to it stood a tall bookshelf filled with books, knickknacks, and a few potted plants. Overall, it was one of the coziest rooms I had been inside.

“I’ve never been in here before,” Sienna said, setting her bag down on the floor. “It’s quite nice.”

Now that we were alone, I felt awkward once again. She had accepted my apology but had insisted on accompanying me to keep me in line. I wasn’t sure where we stood, or how to ask.

“I’m going to light the stove,” I told her.

“Before you do that, come here,” she said, walking toward me.

I tensed as she approached, thinking she was going to lay into me now that we were alone. Instead, she wrapped me in a hug that felt like home and laid her head on my shoulder. I felt the tension dissipate as we held each other. Her fingers dug into my back as she squeezed me tighter, and I realized that she had missed me just as much as I had missed her.

I breathed deeply and brought my hand up to the back of her head, pressing myself against her.

“I missed you so much,” I murmured.

Sienna pulled away and moved her hands to my shoulders. Looking into her eyes, I couldn’t hold back any longer. Passion overcame me as I placed my lips on hers, tasting her sweetness.

She responded enthusiastically, wrapping her arms around me in an embrace. I reached down to grab her under her butt and lifted her. Her legs wrapped around me, and I carried her to the bed, laying her down gently as I continued to caress her face and neck with kisses.

Sienna pulled my shirt up over my head and eyed my torso with lust in her eyes. Her hands roved across my pecs and abdomen, settling on my waistband as she began unbuttoning my pants.

I stood to remove my clothes, and by the time I had done so, she had gotten completely naked on the bed.

“That was fast,” I chuckled.

“I told you, I missed you,” she said.

She wagged her finger at me, encouraging me to join her on the bed. I climbed on top of her, spreading her legs apart and placing one of her ankles on my shoulder.

“I missed you, too,” I murmured into her ear.
