Chapter 8

“Honey,” I told Matt as we left.

“What?”

“She smells like honey, it’s on you,” I almost growled my explination.

Matt looked down at himself as realization dawned on him. “I’m wearing the shirt I wore when I met with her for you,”

This made me stop in my tracks. That’s right he met with her and he’d given her my present but when I’d seen her the ring wasn’t on her at all.

“Did she not like it?”

“She did.” Matt stoped for moment and then looked back at me “she looked impressed at least,” he shrugged.

“We need to head back,” I started walking again.

I did not like being away from my pack and given recent events I felt as if I was failing them.

I did not lie when I sent Matt ahead to make up for my tardiness.

A sigma from a nearby pack had found his way onto our lands. He had fallen for one of our warriors but she couldn’t have been bothered by his aggressive advances. This wolf did not take no for an answer and began hunting her for sport.

As alpha I took this personally. He was harassing one of my warriors. One of my people

I had dealt with him just before I left. I also brought the woman with me so she could help Annette and stay safe.

“Grayson, have a heart,” Matt scolded me causing me to look at him confused and now annoyed.

“Ella is here, she’s safe. I would have never left a member of our pack like that. I knew she could help her new Luna as well in the journey. I still dislike having to leave so quickly after that whole ordeal,” I grunted.

“Gray, this is her home,” Matt walked faster to catch up with me. “She is your soulmate and that is a great gift for our people, but remember her life is changing forever now,”

I suppose I’m hyperfocused on the defense of my pack but an attack like that was my fault. *

I stomped through the trees and dirt to our guest home.

“I had to think of her now, but being alpha is my main priority.

“Alpha,” Brian bowed his head as we marched up the steps.

He opened the door and we took off our shoes and made ourselves comfortable as my beta continued to berate me.
