Chapter 41 “They'll take Brian and a member of the Waxing Pride, they'll head out tonight, until his wife cback safe Alpha Steven will be here,” Grayson shook his head with a sigh at that last part.

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

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

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

Grayson gavethat 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 | went to sleep on a cloud. | know | sound like a teenager after her first date when in reality I'm talking about my husband. If | was human he and | would have a thorough knowledge of each other before calling each other husband and wife. Sometimes | dream of that, but now | am forever captivated with our story.

After all it was ours.

“Brian will have a sat phone he’ll updateevery morning before they rest,” Grayson changed the topic and pulled back to the task at hand. “When they return | want you to check the scent on anything they bring.” “Sounds good to me,” | nod, trying to pretend like | was paying attention which | 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.

| pulled away form him trying to get my head together. “I have to go to the border patrol again and this t| 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,” | scold him, sl*pping just out of his reach and heading for the door. “I'll see you later.

You would think breaching the physical barrier would abate the air of tension between us. Instead | stoked the flames of an unknown fire in my mate and now he was insatiable, he wanted nothing but to be next toand my brain was unprepared for this interference with my duties.

| headed to the border and was ready to listen to Elizabeth about all the alarms, special defenses, and signals. As Luna defending my people was one of the most important things | did. | knew Elizabeth with her no nonsense attitude would helpfocus.

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

“Apparently not.

“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 | was pregnant or if Grayson and | had a ch at being pregnant.

“My heat is coming, Grayson and | are getting closer, butts oftgtttitwould take divine intervention for an heir to produced,” | clarified then gave her a stem look. “Which i would prider you kept between us,” “Of course, | know | should have been more delicate butal dilalt’s want you here defending if you were,” She cough her awkwardness at crossing into my private life now washed byer heer.

Besides that i know no matter what youuwill do what is best for our pack well aware of how lucky | am to call you a friend of course | would tell you bonerd keep pregnant,” | spoke earn Elizabeth, one who was not one for a lot of emotions, much like my husbandiccoughed 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 | have defense training.” | nodded to her, giving her an out from the tendemoss “Yes, let's,” She nodded but gavean almost proud smile.

She taughtthe 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 | wondere exactly how far he would go for me.

kow It was hard not to shiver at the thought of his dark side. He had built this place for his future dami had been so careful to letin. 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 keepsafe.
