Chapter 0269

I’m not sure if I should be excited or offended that some of my pack members would rather talk to Angel than me. In truth, I’ve never really seen a pack run with a Luna, except from afar, like with Rik and Cara’s pack. Before now, everything had to come through me. On one hand, it’s a relief, but on the other hand, I never realized that some of my pack members weren’t comfortable talking to me. I guess it does make sense that some things are meant to be discussed with the pack’s Luna. While it’s a transition for me, I’m thrilled that the pack is already comfortable enough with Angel to seek her advice and assistance.

I’m kicking myself for not thinking about the Luna’s office. It’s been so long, that I hadn’t considered that she might need her own office. Dustin is giddy in his excitement that Sarah wants to help. It’s exactly what her role will be if she accepts Dustin as her mate.

He’s told me he’s talked to her about it and she’s thinking about it. Being human, it’s a lot to take in and she has to come to terms with how the mate bond works. Werewolves don’t have to go through the long process of falling in love like humans. When we meet our mate, it’s immediate, the pull so strong that it’s nearly impossible to resist. Not that there aren’t werewolves out there that don’t treasure the mate bond, thinking they are above it, but the Moon Goddess pairs. you with the person that completes your soul. Who am I, or anyone else, to argue against that? And based on my mate, I’d say the Moon Goddess knows exactly what she’s doing. Angel is perfect for me.

The next day, I check in with Angel and Sarah to make sure they are set and then I have Dustin join me in my office so Angel can use his. We continue to make plans. for the war, and I go over the updates that Anders made to our borders. We also talk about the training that will need to take place with the Guardians and the

warriors.

As we work, I can tell there is something on Dustin’s mind. When he doesn’t come out and ask, I finally bring it up. “What’s on your mind, Dustin?”

He hesitates before responding. “I haven’t been able to get Sarah to agree to seeing the doctor. It won’t change my mind about having her as my mate, but I would like to know if pups are in my future.”

“Have you suggested that she talk with Angel? Maybe even have Angel go with her? If not, maybe you could talk to Angel. They have a bond forged from their mutual traum

and support of each other, so I’d guess that it’s as strong as the

bond between you and I, maybe more so.”

“I’ll suggest that she speak to Angel. I think she’s worried not only about my desire to have pups, but also about having sex in general. She was a teenager when they caught her, a virgin, so her only sexual experience was with that monster. I know that must terrify her, but I don’t care about that part of our relationship.”

I raise an eyebrow at him.

“Okay, yes, I do care about that part of our relationship. But, I’m willing to give her whatever amount of time she needs to be okay with being together. I just want her to accept me as her mate. I want to know that she wants to be with me, that even if we can’t complete the mating process, that I can at least mark her. I want everyone to know she’s mine.”

“And have you told her that?”

“Yes, but it’s different. She doesn’t fully understand, being human. I do think you were right about her feeling the mate bond. She doesn’t care if it’s me or Leon that stays the night with her now, just as long as one of us is there. She sleeps better when she’s curled up with me and I sleep better when she’s by my side.”
