can get you in contact with a doctor as soon as tomorrow.”

“Can we see what happens?” she asked softly after a moment of examining my face, looking excited and nervous. “Let nature take its course?”

Abso-fucking-lutely.

“I personally love that idea.” Hunter’s voice broke through our connection as he slipped into the office, his eyes narrowing on us. “However, you two have been noticed to be absent so…”

I scowled as my sexy mate got up quickly and dressed, my cock hard and painful as I tucked it back into my dress pants.

Without saying anything else, she kissed both of our lips and was out the door eagerly, looking nearly the same with the addition of my mating mark. I couldn’t even explain how much better it made me feel.

“She seems pretty relaxed and open to the idea of a family,” Hunter mumbled. “Not that my wolf gives a fuck, he’s pissed he didn’t mark her first.”

“He’s an asshole,” I pointed out with a chuckle as Hunter grunted in agreement.

Without another word, we went back outside to help Colette. Her eyes immediately found mine as she offered a soft smile, her entire body relaxed and any concern in her eyes from before completely eliminated. I smiled because there was nothing better than having a satisfied mate. Not just physically, but her smile and overall happiness? I was starting to realize that was all I fucking needed in life.

Colette Allard

I woke up Sunday morning to my phone ringing as I scowled, my eyes squinting to block out the sunshine blasting through the windows of our bedroom. Damn it, when I’d chosen to stay in Washington, I had chosen rainy cool weather, so what the hell was going on with this damn sunshine?

I felt around for my phone on the end table, realizing the bed was empty. I picked up the device without looking, assuming that it was one of the boys. Or hoping it was, at least.

“Colette,” my father’s harsh voice immediately chastised me. “We are two hours away from Willowdale. I heard you are whoring yourself out to the local wolf pack so be at the front gates and ready to leave by then. This ends today.”

I groaned, glad that he hung up right away. I laid back on the bed wondering if I should just go back to sleep. Finally determined to end this, I sat up and walked towards the main suite, wiping the sleep from my eyes. I smiled slightly, finding Hunter sitting on the couch looking over his tablet. His green eyes roamed over me appreciatively before frowning at my expression.

“My mother and father expect me at the pack land gates in two hours,” I answered his unasked question.

He tensed, letting out a low growl.

“How do you want to handle this?” he barely got out, clearly trying to be considerate. I had a feeling he was right on the edge of losing it and while I was curious to see what that would be like… I knew it wouldn’t help at the moment.

I contemplated what to do next as I stared outside before coming to the conclusion on how I would handle this. “Let’s finish this nonsense. No point in ignoring them. Maybe we could invite them in? Sit down and talk about all this bullshit?”

“If that’s what you want.” He nodded, still looking tense.

Walking over to the bathroom, my smile curved up noticing the two savage-looking bite marks on either side of my neck. I couldn’t help but absolutely love the open mark of ownership. The best part? They had marks to match, and I knew they wouldn’t attempt to hide them. Sure, our scars would heal and turn gold, but right now they were vicious looking and would make for a solid emphasis when dealing with my parents.

I wasn’t leaving. This was my home now.

Taking my time in the shower, managing to walk out feeling refreshed and wide awake, I dried myself off and prepared to get ready. I could hear my mates talking about my parents in the bedroom, but I didn’t focus on that. I would have to deal with my mother and father all night, I needed a bit of time to myself to prepare for that.

I rarely messed with makeup or doing my hair extensively when I wasn’t forced to. In Maine, they had expected me to dress up every day, so the ability to dress and look however I wanted now was one I could easily grow used to. However, tonight I
