“Whenever you want kids, you just let me know. I’ll be happy to oblige.” His hot, sensual breath whispered into her ear. A shiver rippled through her body as tiny sparks of lightning danced over her skin.
The doors to the pack house opened and Kristen bounced inside. “Come on, boys. I have a carload of goodies for tonight! When’s the pizza coming?”
Asher slowly pulled away and grinned at Lita, winking at her before he turned his attention back to Kristen. “The pizza will be delivered in a few hours. So, what are we watching?”
“I decided that everyone will write down the movie they want to watch, and we will put it in a hat. Then, whatever movie is drawn, that’s the one we watch. No whining, no complaints. But can we please not pick scary movies? I don’t want to have nightmares.” Lita giggled as she rubbed the back of her head.
“You have to be sleeping in order to get nightmares, Lita.” Asher’s eyes twinkled at her, and when he saw her blush, he began to chuckle. He walked out the door with the other two guys to bring in the mass amount of goodies Kristen had picked up.
“So, what did I miss? The pack is chattering about getting addressed by the alpha soon to discuss it. Discuss what?” Kristen looked at Lita with her brow raised.
“OH! You weren’t here, that’s right. I found out I’m the fairy princess! And now Asher is also the fairy prince, and … you’re not going to believe this. Grayson is a werebear!” Lita excitedly blurted out, like him being a werebear was bigger news than her being a princess.
“That hunk of flesh is a werebear? That’s hot! You should have made him your prince.” Kristen giggled, and she heard an annoyed growl coming in through the door. She turned and stuck her tongue out at Asher. “What? Alphas are a dime a dozen, but a werebear … I mean, come on!”
Grayson chuckled as he followed behind Asher, who looked annoyed at Kristen over her suggestion. He watched as his eyes glazed over, and then he let out a sad sigh.
“I have to go and address the pack members. Caden said they’re getting restless.” Asher then turned and looked at Grayson. “I shouldn’t be long, but watch over her for me.” The relationship between the two men had changed since this morning. To Asher, Grayson was now another valuable member of his pack. It was more than that, though. He was someone who had fought on his behalf. Grayson was right. Asher could see thetwo of them becoming good, trusted friends. Asher watched as he nodded to him, and then he walked over to Lita.
“I’ll come back as soon as I can. I’ll be back before it’s time to pick out the movies, for sure. I have to make sure I pick some scary ones.” Asher leaned in and captured her lips with his.
“Umm, I’m coming too.” Lita raised her brows at him. "Am I not this pack’s luna?”
Asher chuckled. He felt proud of her for wanting to be with him when he addressed the pack. “You’re right, Luna. Okay, well, let’s all go and make this an official pack meeting.”
“Ugh … I hate meetings.” Grayson groaned.
“You don’t have to come, Grayson.” Lita turned and looked at him as he approached her.
“Yes, I do. I can’t leave your protection up to these mutts. No offense.” Grayson grinned as he looked at Asher.
“None taken. But that’s Prince Mutt to you.” Asher shot him a wink and the two laughed together.
Lita smiled inside as she looked at the two men. She could see their new, budding friendship. It was a comforting feeling for her. It felt like … home.
Asher and Lita walked out of the pack house together, his arm wrapped around her waist as they approached the assembled pack. Caden had everyone gathered for the announcement.
“Some of you have seen things that we never knew existed and are feeling unnerved by it. First, I want to tell you that there’s nothing to worry about. These creatures have always existed and, like us, just want to live their lives. As you know, Lita here is part fairy. What most of you don’t know is that she is the princess of the fairies. Just as she has accepted to be my luna, I have accepted to be her prince. I want to emphasize that this does not change anything. I am still your alpha. When the time comes, I will leave, and a new alpha will take my place, hopefully my future son,” Asher said and winked toward hispack, who chuckled and nodded their heads in agreement. “We are a stronger pack now. I have new strengths, and we have an incredibly strong luna. This has only made our future brighter as we go forward. I hope all your worries are now at rest.”
The pack members murmured in agreement and nodded their heads. If their alpha was telling them that everything was fine, then it would be. He had never steered them wrong before.
“You’re loyal to her and have accepted fairies as your kind now. How can we trust your words? How do we know where your loyalties lie? My concern is for my pack. The place where me and my brother grew up.” It was Felicia’s voice that rang out from behind the crowd. They parted, revealing her angry stance, arms crossed in front of her chest.
Lita stared at the woman, thinking of the best way to deal with her.
Death!Mira chimed in.
Mira …
Seriously, Lita, this shewolf has gone too far. We have to do our job now as the luna. We must stake our claim on our mate and show we will not tolerate her disrespectful behavior. Plus, I’m not convinced the rogue attacks were just a mere coincidence.
What are you suggesting?
Lita, think of the timing of the last one. How did she escape unharmed?! And she was the reason we were led all the way to the edge of the territory. I smell a rat.
Then we need to set a trap and catch her.
Exactly.
